The increasing sophistication of cyber attacks, the proliferation of cloud services, and the new normal of remote work have all changed the modern cybersecurity landscape. As traditional perimeter-based approaches to security become increasingly vulnerable to these modern cyber threats, zero trust has emerged as the modern security strategy of choice. Zero trust architecture is critical for any organization seeking to improve resilience, reduce breach risk, and enhance data protection.

According to Experian, there have been approximately 416,000 reported cases of credit card fraud so far in 2024. Credit card fraud occurs when someone uses your credit card to make purchases without your permission by impersonating you. Someone can use your credit card without physical access by stealing your credit card number through credit card skimming, shoulder surfing, phishing and hacking.

Technological advances usually lead to a brighter future. While that may be true, these developments could also be used to refine and increase cybersecurity scams. Attackers do not care about who they target as long as they get people's and establishments' information and credentials. Cybersecurity professionals must be aware of the current scams plaguing the digital world and how to combat them. Here are a few examples and their implications for the future.

Companies may scale their cloud resources in pursuit of product, cost, or process innovation. However, this does not come without a cost of its own. The resulting infrastructure complexity, created from a growing sprawl of access silos, can introduce friction into engineer and security workflows.

You can share your WiFi password safely by using a strong password, creating a guest network, enabling your router’s encryption and regularly updating your router. Sharing your WiFi password safely is important because someone with bad intentions could use it to hack into your network, steal your personal information or infect your devices with malware.

As online businesses continue to grow, the need for secure, user-friendly authentication methods has become crucial. For Shopify merchants managing multiple stores, enabling Federated Single Sign-On (SSO) offers a seamless login experience, while Shopify Software Security Assurance (SSA) program ensures robust security protocols. This article dives into how both SSO and SSA can improve your store security and user experience.

Cyber resilience is a constant topic of concern in technology and cybersecurity, as it approaches security from the standpoint of assuming that attacks are inevitable rather than solely attempting to prevent them. Layered cybersecurity is crucial to ensure comprehensive defense against a wide range of threats.

In life, you get a lot of different alerts. Your bank may send emails or texts about normal account activities, like privacy notices, product updates, or account statements. It also sends alerts when someone fraudulently makes a purchase with your credit card. You can ignore most of the normal messages, but you need to pay attention to the fraud alerts. Security is the same way.

In today’s cloud-native ecosystems, effective configuration security is essential. Containers and Kubernetes clusters operate in dynamic environments with multiple interconnected risk vectors, making security more complex than in traditional IT environments. Misconfigurations can lead to vulnerabilities, breaches, and compliance issues, putting applications and data at risk.

Backups can act as a safety net for DevOps. They help to keep important data safe and ensure smooth workflow and business resilience in the midst of a disaster. However, which backup method is the most efficient one? There are different options for backing up your DevOps stack which range from basic scripts put together by internal IT teams to advanced solutions provided by professional backup vendors.
