Because cyber dangers are always changing, businesses are moving toward safer and more proactive ways to keep their data and networks safe. Zero Trust Security is one of these frameworks that is becoming more popular. It is based on the idea of "never trust, always verify." Zero Trust constantly checks and authorizes every user and device before letting them access sensitive data or systems. This is done instead of thinking that internal users or devices are reliable.

Privileged Identity Management (PIM) safeguards and manages privilege accounts, controlling access to sensitive resources. Discover PIM’s tools features, benefits, and uses. Updated On.

As Black Friday approaches, retailers are gearing up for the inevitable surge in online traffic. But cybercriminals are also preparing for this high-stakes season, fine-tuning their bot attack strategies to exploit inventory, pricing, and customer accounts.

It is more important than ever to protect websites from hacking in today's digital world. One common type of attack is the Ping Flood, also called the "Ping of Death." This is when a lot of ping requests are sent to a website's server at once, slowing it down or even crashing it. Attacks like these are more likely to happen as websites get busier and more complicated. This is why it's important to have strong defenses in place.

When it comes to vulnerability management, many security teams opt for a simple strategy that involves tracking the number of vulnerabilities. Counting vulnerabilities produces a straightforward metric that can be monitored and reported, making it easy to compare an organization’s security posture to peers or industry benchmarks. It's also useful for compliance purposes, as some standards require reporting the number of discovered vulnerabilities.

Azure is Microsoft’s cloud, allowing for software and hardware-based or hosted in the cloud and providing computing, analytical, storage, and networking services. From these services, the users can selectively take what they want to build new applications in the public cloud or migrate other applications already running to the public cloud.

In today’s business ecosystem, data exchanges are critical for operations. From APIs to FTP connections, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), data transfers happen continually, each using specific protocols and requiring authentication to ensure security and confidentiality. These interactions rely on a vast array of identities, keys, and credentials that need consistent management and periodic rotation to maintain security.

One Identity’s suite of IAM solutions includes Active Roles, an AD (Active Directory) management tool designed to increase the security and efficiency of identity environments by consolidating all AD domains and Entra ID tenants onto a single console This ensures consistent enforcement of security policies through automation, enables identity data to be synchronized across the entire network, and reduces the number of accounts which have been erroneously granted access privileges.
