If you work in the ecommerce industry, you know that every part of its value chain has been eaten by software: from product sourcing, inventory management, warehousing, online shopping, marketing operations, order management, payment processing, shipping, up to tax management. Today’s state-of-the-art ecommerce software is connected to countless other services. How? Through APIs. Take a random online store using Shopify, which empowers over 1,000,000 merchants in 175 countries.

While threats continue to evolve every day, modern-day businesses cannot remain in oblivion and wait for the attackers to exploit a vulnerability or disrupt their business operations. Logsign experts recommend that businesses should be proactive while dealing with their cybersecurity. As a proactive measure, many of our clients have implemented Logsign SIEM solution to get a single-point view of their organization’s security posture.

By now, we know a lot about secure configuration management (SCM). We know the way it works, the integral processes of which it consists, the areas of your IT infrastructure that it can help secure as well as the different types of best practice frameworks and regulatory compliance standards with which it can help you to maintain compliance. All we’re missing is how to procure and deploy an effective SCM solution.

As legislation goes, the GDPR could be unique in its insistence that a new professional role, the Data Protection Officer (DPO), be created to ensure its mandates are properly met. But getting a DPO in place is no simple recruitment exercise, and that’s especially true for schools. For starters, people with the requisite mix of abilities and experience to do the job in educational environments are hard to find.

Many businesses that have allowed employees to continue working from home for the foreseeable future are aware that they need to update their cybersecurity. It’s likely that they have allocated some budget and IT resources to make those necessary changes. However, IT budgets are finite. Given the economic disruption of the pandemic, enterprises must strategically decide where to invest their cybersecurity budget most effectively.

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) helps organizations in collecting, correlating, and analyzing log data from a wide range of systems connected to their IT infrastructure. Based on the results, a SIEM solution assists an organization in detecting threats and suspicious activity on their IT infrastructure. If you are already using a SIEM platform such as Logsign, you would know the importance of SIEM reports.

Cloud security is the implementation of security controls to protect confidential information stored in cloud environments and reduce the risk of data breaches. Effective cloud security involves regularly assessing and hardening defences, ensuring broad threat visibility and rapidly responding to threats.

A critical CVSS:10 vulnerability (CVE-2020-1472) in the Microsoft Netlogon process was patched in the August patch cycle, but details were not made public until earlier this week (14th September).

The recent disclosure of CVE-2020-1472 vulnerability by Microsoft showcases the need for tools that allow defenders to quickly replicate published exploit code, register attack data, and create signatures or other mitigations against released exploits with a high likelihood of exploitation against popular infrastructure or operating systems.

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are a favorite method for attackers to disrupt or debilitate firewalls, online services, and websites by overwhelming systems with malicious traffic or transaction requests. DDoS attackers accomplish this by coordinating an army of compromised machines, or 'bots', into a network of devices they control from a remote location that focus a stream of activity toward a single target.
