Cyberattacks are constantly evolving as criminals discover new ways to crack strong networks or automate attacks to target vulnerable systems. Nowadays, it seems as if cyberattacks are everywhere you look. In 2021, we faced many new attack vectors as the shift to remote work challenged traditional work operations, and we are likely to see those continue well into 2022.

There's little question that you've already heard about the recently discovered security flaw related to Log4j, a widely used Java library for logging error messages in applications. The vulnerability enables a threat actor to remotely execute commands via remote code execution (RCE) on nearly any machine using Log4j. But it's also important to cut through all of the noise to truly understand the implications of the Log4j and what organizations can do to combat it.

Cyber threats are everywhere, regardless of your organization’s size or industry.

The pandemic means that more people than ever shopped online in 2020 — with shoppers spending $14.13 billion online last year on Black Friday.

Security ratings are becoming a crucial component of every security operations center (SOC). Security analysts must learn how to read, analyze and report security ratings to the CISO effectively in order to help build an enterprise-wide culture of security. Here we outline how analysts can develop a successful security operations center that leverages ratings to evaluate and mitigate cyber risk.

Who would hate the quick and easily applicable way to create application software? How is it even possible? Doesn't application development demand countless planning, design, testing, and most crucial thing, codes? Well, there was a time when it was required, but now, the low-code development approach helps enterprises build an app with little to no code. Sounds fantastic, right? The low-code development expedites business results and empowers them by speeding up the development of new applications.

Effective software supply chain risk management requires security measures throughout the entire supply chain. Risk management is a well-understood part of business. Personified, risk management would be a dusty, gray man with a gray beard who asks questions that make you uncomfortable. Risk management is about understanding threats to your business and figuring out how you will deal with them.

Cybercriminals are continuously finding new ways to steal sensitive information. Having robust network security measures in place is now more important than ever — and network authentication is part of the solution. There are various authentication technologies available that can add an extra layer of protection to prevent security lapses, and each one offers a unique solution. This post will highlight the most common methods for network authentication and answer the following questions.

Risk is inescapable. However careful your company might be, it cannot experience growth without accepting a certain amount of risk. The key to a successful risk management program is to prepare for risk as thoroughly and efficiently as possible. This includes regular risk assessments to understand which risks should be prioritized and how best to prevent any potential losses.

With every passing day, businesses become more entwined in an ecosystem of partners, vendors, and suppliers in global markets. A local natural disaster, for example, can have far-reaching consequences throughout a global supply chain; so controlling, recognizing, and mitigating risks is critical to a company’s business continuity and financial stability.
