The healthcare sector stands at a crossroads where innovation and technology are drastically reshaping patient care, yet simultaneously, it faces the increasing challenge of protecting sensitive patient data. As healthcare organizations adopt advanced technologies like electronic health records (EHRs), telemedicine, and AI-driven diagnostics, the need for robust cybersecurity measures becomes paramount.

The digital ecosystem is an intricate web of interconnected technologies and processes. Within this network, supply chain cybersecurity has emerged as a critical component to safeguard against the growing threat landscape. As supply chains become increasingly digital, they also become more vulnerable to cyber attacks that can disrupt operations and compromise sensitive data.

While the EU AI Act is poised to introduce binding legal requirements, there's another noteworthy player making waves—the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF), published in January 2023. This framework promises to reshape the future of responsible AI uniquely and voluntarily, setting it apart from traditional regulatory approaches. Let's delve into the transformative potential of the NIST AI RMF and its global implications.

The emergence of cyber risk regulations like DORA, NIS2, and PS21/3 signals an imperative need for resilience. In a world where digital disruptions can cripple nations and economies, the industry needed a shift from reactive defence to proactive fortification. CISOs that demonstrate strong cybersecurity leadership, aligning with broader business objectives and proving a positive impact on the organization's bottom line, are better positioned to build trust with stakeholders and minimize cyber risks.

SOC 2 audits are independent assessments of your company’s cybersecurity posture, and those audits are no walk in the park. Hence it would be wise for your company first to undertake its own SOC 2 readiness assessment: so that you can identify and correct problems before the external auditors find those issues for you. First, the basics.

In today’s complex cloud environments, security and engineering teams need to manage vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across multiple layers of the stack, including cloud resources, clusters, containers, and applications. Often, this results in a lengthy list of problems that lacks prioritization and is daunting for users to address.

As the digital revolution has unfolded, the dramatic increase in the amount of code written, borrowed, and bought means that the attack surface has also increased dramatically. Software proliferation creates challenges for teams that must keep up with innovation while also securing their software.

Lurking in the open source software (OSS) that pervades applications around the world are open source security risks technology leaders must be aware of. Software is one of technology’s most vulnerable subsets with over 70% of applications containing security flaws. Here are the open source security risks IT leaders must be aware of to protect technology and help it scale safely.

In the fast-paced world of cybersecurity, change is not only constant but crucial. The New York Department of Financial Services (NY-DFS) demonstrated that principle on Nov. 1, 2023, when it completed a sweeping set of updates to its cybersecurity regulation. If you find yourself apprehensive about these changes, fret not — I’m here to guide you through the process and to provide a comprehensive plan for successfully meeting the new regulations.

Businesses are using hybrid cloud environments more and more to get flexibility and scalability, so making sure they are secure becomes a top concern. The hybrid cloud mixes resources from both public and private clouds, making operations more efficient than ever. But this connected design also brings with it a lot of complicated risks, like data breaches, wrong configurations, and people getting in without permission.
