The attack surface is an organization’s digital exposure that an attacker could exploit to get unauthorized access to a system and extract data or other sensitive information. It could also be used as a point within a chain of attacks. As Organizations increasingly rely on SaaS services and products, the digital attack surface is more than the firewall and network.
For consecutive years, applications have remained the top attack vector for black hats, with supply chain attacks not far behind. At the same time, market research indicates that enterprise security managers and software developers continue to complain that their application security tools are cumbersome. When asked, many developers admit that they don’t run security tests as often as they should, and they push code to production even when they know it has security flaws.

In this article, you will learn how a VPN works, what protocols are needed, what challenges are involved, and what alternatives are available.
Across a health system’s digital terrain, the most vulnerable assets are connected medical devices. If those devices become compromised, the infiltration could impact a patient’s privacy, health and safety. Moreover, it could shut down care delivery for days, weeks or longer, with long-lasting financial and reputational impacts. According to Deloitte, an estimated 70% of medical devices will be connected by 2023.
