There’s no question that centralized identity and access management (IAM) helps companies reduce risk and prevent attacks.

Rubrik CDM is scale-out and fault-tolerant. Our software runs as a clustered system consisting of multiple nodes, where each node runs an identical copy of our software stack; each node is equally able to perform operations like data protection and recovery. To increase capacity a user simply adds more nodes. The system continues to operate when a node fails, other nodes pick up the workload while the node is offline. Scale-out, fault-tolerant products are built on distributed systems.

Requirements for reporting cybersecurity incidents to some regulatory or government authority are not new, but there has always been a large amount of inconsistency, globally, in exactly what the requirements are. More recently, there’s been a growing trend across government and regulatory bodies in the United States towards shorter timeframes for reporting of cybersecurity incidents. Here’s a brief rundown of the recent activity.
The modern infrastructure is controlled by the DNS with pointers to both internal and third-party services. As a result, organizations are simultaneously expanding their attack surface and inviting potential cyber threats. Unknown subdomains can be challenging, as they are not always closely monitored.
