What is DSPM? Data Security Posture Management, or DSPM refers to the practice of assessing and managing an organization’s overall data security posture. It involves monitoring, evaluating, and continuously improving the effectiveness of data security controls and measures in place to protect sensitive information. What is Data Security Posture Management? It provides a holistic view of an organization’s data security status and helps identify vulnerabilities, gaps, and areas for improvement.

Now that we’ve introduced Elastic Cloud encryption at rest and walked you through setting it up in AWS and Azure, it’s time to get you set up in Google Cloud. In this final blog of the series, we will explain how encryption at rest works with Google Cloud Key Management Service (KMS) and then show you how to apply a Google Cloud KMS key to an Elastic Cloud Hosted deployment for encrypting data and snapshots at rest.

For assessing and reporting on the risks associated with your applications, you know you need Application Security Posture Management (ASPM). However, this quickly evolving space has many variables that security leaders may not realize. Here’s how you can elevate your security strategy by optimizing ASPM tools in a way that minimizes risks, enhances operational efficiency, and builds a robust security-aware culture in your organization.

Employees come and go, and so do their identities within their organizations. On the surface, it seems a linear lifecycle, starting with onboarding and ending with offboarding, with a whole lot of access to resources in between. But it’s the “in between” where things are more complex – whether related to migration from one business unit to the next or integrating an acquisition.

In cybersecurity, "Living-off-the-land" (LotL) attacks have become increasingly difficult to detect. These attacks exploit legitimate system tools like PowerShell, WMI, or Office macros instead of relying on external malware, allowing attackers to move stealthily within a network. Traditional security measures struggle to identify these attacks, as they use trusted, digitally signed tools. LotL attacks appeal to cybercriminals because they evade detection and reduce the risk of being traced.

Cybersecurity leaders already know the importance of a data loss prevention (DLP) solution. They also know DLP has its limits. As cloud applications have grown more common, they’ve introduced gaps in the DLP shield. SaaS apps present new opportunities for data leakage, accidental sharing, and insider threats. To plug those gaps, you need a cloud access security broker (CASB).

In the modern cloud landscape, the question isn’t whether or not you need a cloud access security broker (CASB) — it’s how to choose the right one and implement it effectively. Malicious attacks are on the rise, and so are remote and hybrid workforces, making it more important than ever to be proactive about data security.

In this second blog of our series, we embark on a journey of Branch Transformation with the Next Gen SASE Branch solution. Built on the Netskope One SASE platform, the Next Gen SASE Branch solution combines its three layers—Context-aware SASE Fabric, Zero Trust Hybrid Security, and a SkopeAI-powered Cloud Orchestrator—into a unified cloud offering. The three layers are defined below.

Devices, applications, and systems logs are needed to detect, analyze, and mitigate cybersecurity threats. Logs in a SIEM are like gold; they are both valuable. Gold is part of the economy, and logs are part of the IT ecosystem and are the foundation for cybersecurity. Here’s why they compare to liquid gold!
