While we optimistically hoped for normality in 2021, organizations continue to deal with the repercussions of the pandemic nearly two years on. Once considered temporary measures to ride out the lockdown restrictions, they have become permanent fixtures now, creating a dynamic shift in cybersecurity and networking. At the same time, cybercriminals have taken advantage of the distraction by launching ambitious attacks against critical infrastructure.

Information systems and cybersecurity go hand in hand. Understanding the relationship between the two is paramount for enterprises to optimize the user experience (UX).

Cyber attacks are major threats to organizations and industries across the board. And as technology advances, cybersecurity continues to be the focus that requires serious attention.

He was horrified to see me doing the same thing over and over in a VAX code editor and introduced me to the magical world of macros. From that point onwards, I was a man on a mission to save us all as much time as possible in our working days.

We can’t always stop the bad guys from getting in, but we can stop them from wreaking havoc. Professor Avishai Wool, AlgoSec CTO, summarizes notable breaches from 2021 and explains the role of micro-segmentation.

Threat analysis and risk assessment (commonly referred to as TARA) are the key activities that should be carried out by all organisations whether they are enterprises or small scale companies. At present, there are many methodologies for how risk assessment and threat analysis can be performed.
