A key part of making any threat management program successful is ensuring it maps properly to the client’s needs. In the past, this has been challenging for many groups providing threat management to their internal teams. The challenge has largely been in making sure the proposed program and the suite of solutions find and call out the most pressing t

Putting best practices in place is the most efficient way to combat cybersecurity threats. But that’s easier said than done, as there are a lot of forces working against our best efforts. The talent shortage looms the largest; there simply aren’t enough qualified cybersecurity experts out there to provide organizations a strong foundation. Witho

Some of the most surprising news coming out of 2020 — a year when it seemed like there was a major breaking story every day — is the number of data breaches decreased during the first nine months of the year.  This is the exact opposite of what experts expected. The security concerns as millions of workers moved from on-site to a remote wor

Red team testing is a key way to help prevent data breaches today. Most cyber defense focuses on spotting openings and fixing general risks in your environment. Red teaming not only reduces risks, but also prevents possible breaches. Methods, such as threat modeling, static analysis and dynamic testing, reduce the attack surface but do not eliminate risk. W

Everyone is fighting for the attention of potential customers. It’s the work you’ve done; the creative energy expended by your team; and the amount of time your group spent just to get the right people to visit your website or mobile app. After all that sweat and toil, you don’t want to lose your customers to a high-profile security breach

Today’s cloud-native data management platforms can help businesses unlock the potential of their data. These modern data management and storage platforms are designed to deliver lean, high-performance architecture for agile application teams to ensure solid business outcomes, such as rapid time to market. Modern platforms, built for the cloud and in t

As we bring 2020 to a close, it’s time to look at 2021 and a new chapter in the book of cybersecurity. While there are no doubt a multitude of possible attacks, here are six types of attacks that are becoming more popular and more common among attackers using Internet of things (IoT) threats. 1. Built-In IoT Threats As entities embrace the IoT, they s

The holiday season is upon us. After a difficult year, and facing an even more challenging year ahead, digital defense experts don’t have visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads. Instead, they dream of cybersecurity tools and other resources to help them cope with a wild threat landscape.  Here’s our ultimate holiday wish list. 

This year has seen major changes in cybersecurity trends. At times, 2020 seems to have come and gone in a flash. For many, it has dragged on for what seems to be years and years. Data breaches, new threats to education, the new normal of working from home (WFH), new malware styles and pandemic-related attacks are all cybersecurity threats specifically creat

They come in the mail — ominous-looking envelopes that are devoid of branding and obvious marketing embellishments. Plain white, marked with often-unrecognizable return addresses, and relatively thin — the contents of which will spoil your day and cause you to lose yet a bit more faith in humanity. No, it’s not a tax bill; rather, it&rsquo

We must adapt the way we secure data to today’s needs. Working from home has increased, forcing entities and their employees to rely more on virtual private networks (VPNs), work with their security operations center (SOC) colleagues remotely and give more attention to data protection. The global pandemic has sped up emerging trends in IT and cyb

Security operations center (SOC) teams struggle with an array of challenges. Too many tools can make the work too complex; and recruiting and retaining personnel can be hard amidst a skills shortage. Experts need to focus on using their skills to their fullest. But, an open approach can improve threat management in a way that makes all of these things easie

Hybrid and multicloud solutions have created and will continue to offer great benefits for businesses. However, this means security experts will need to pay even more attention to the cloud as we move into the next several decades. Data visibility and management are key elements to watch when working with a managed security service provider (MSSP).&nbs

Security information and event management (SIEM) is still integral to digital security. However, newer entrants to the market claim SIEM as we know it is dead. If this sounds familiar, you may remember the infamous statement in 2015 by the chief information security officer (CISO) of RSA, Eddie Schwartz, that SIEM was dead. It seems like every year after th

DevOps is a mindset as well as a business tactic. It’s a cultural shift that merges operations with development and employs a linked toolchain to create change. In turn, DevSecOps seeks to merge security into DevOps. This can be helpful for a business seeking both rapid and secure growth. Transforming your DevOps to DevSecOps can be challenging. Howev
