Many security professionals prioritize data loss prevention (DLP). To this end, they’re increasingly relying on DLP software to make their lives easier. DLP software solutions are proactive rather than reactive. These tools provide flexible control over highly sensitive data, monitor and identify potential weak points, and provide a robust defense against even the most damaging data loss and security incidents.

Most computer systems and applications use passwords as a common authentication method. The simplest way to implement authentication is to store a list of all valid passwords for each user. The downside of this method is that if the list is compromised, the attacker will know all the user passwords. A more common approach is to store the cryptographic hash value of the password phrase.

Virtual machines (VMs) running on cloud-native platforms like OpenShift Virtualization require robust backup and recovery solutions to avoid downtime and data loss. However, many organizations struggle with the complexities of backing up VMs in hybrid and multi-cloud environments, especially when managing infrastructure at scale.

We all know that it is a question of when you will be compromised and not if you will be compromised. It is unavoidable. The goal of CIS Control 17 is to ensure that you are set up for success when that inevitable breach occurs. If an organization is neither equipped nor prepared for that potential data breach, they are not likely to succeed in responding to the threat.

Most people know what a chief information security officer (CISO) is and how they’re essential to improving an organization’s security posture. The problem is that many organizations have limited hiring resources and it makes little sense to appoint an in-house CISO without tangible ROI. ‍ A virtual CISO or vCISO becomes an excellent solution for organizations that need to enhance their security framework within resource constraints.
