The escalation in cybersecurity breaches as seen in 2020 has continued well into 2021. According to Verizon’s 2021 DBIR , so far they have looked into 29,207 incidents worldwide. These incidents boiled down to 5,258 confirmed data breaches. An analysis of these breaches shows: Many of these breaches were financially motivated, targeting sensitive data that can be easily monetized and lucratively too. Human negligence, consistent with previous years, was the biggest threat to security.

Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) means exactly that: compliance officers and IT security teams are trained to not trust any network activity, anywhere, at any given time — not even on the inside of their own computer network. Don’t panic; ZTA is not as difficult to work with as it sounds. It’s simply a different way of approaching cybersecurity. So let’s take a look at how it works.

These days, magic links are in the air. They are becoming an intriguing means to strengthen digital security without inconveniencing users. This article discusses magic links, their magical function, and their potential benefits for a corporation.

From ordering groceries to paying taxes everything has taken a shift to digital platforms. If you are still not going digital, you are putting your survival at stake. With the spur in digitization, digital identification has become ‘fundamental’ to the everyday operation of online services, but a universally recognized and secure solution has been lacking ever since.

SecurityScorecard also found that 1 in 5 of the world’s food processing, production, and distribution companies rated have a known vulnerability in their exposed Internet assets

SIEMs have been around for decades, designed to replace manual log correlation to identify suspicious network activity by normalizing alerts across multiple technology vendors. SIEMs correlate massive amounts of data from the sensor grid (your internal security solutions, mission-critical applications and IT infrastructure). As organizations are looking at ways to mine through SIEM data to find threats and breaches, they are bringing in threat intelligence feeds to help.

Over the past decade, the way we build and deploy applications has changed dramatically. The explosion of public cloud providers enables us to deploy software without engaging in a drawn-out process to procure and set up infrastructure. Agile, DevOps, Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment, and other changes to how we work have dramatically accelerated the speed with which we can get new applications and updates in front of our users.

If applying IP allow lists to the cloud excites you as much Another One Bites the Dust on volume 11, read on. In this blog, I’ll discuss some considerations regarding operationalizing, automating, and increasing the efficacy of IP allow lists in your cloud infrastructure. Although this discussion will be in the context of cloud infrastructure providers such as AWS, GCP, and Azure, it should also be applicable to other cloud infrastructure and application environments.
