Spending for software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications is projected to grow 17.9% to $197 billion in 2023, then grow another 17.7% to $232 billion in 2024. This rapid growth is being fueled by several factors including the desire to modernize IT environments and enable hybrid workers, who might login from a branch office one day and a hotel room the next.

Get Free iOS Application Penetration Testing Checklist Apple’s recent release of iOS 16 for the iPhone brings important new security features. Despite the inherent security features of iOS, additional measures, techniques, and guidelines can be employed to fortify the protection of user data and ensure privacy.

Both CalPERS and CalSTRS are agencies that manage retirement funds and health benefits for retired California teachers, government employees, and more types of public service employees. These organizations handle a huge amount of personal and financial data for teachers and other individuals, and they even handle pensions for them. That's why it's so upsetting to learn that both CalPERS and CalSTRS were impacted by a recent data breach.

Smart automation in ASM refers to the application of intelligent and adaptive technologies and tools to automate the attack surface management process. By leveraging machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence technologies, enterprises can automate discovery and threat exposure, drastically reducing the time and resources required for the process. They can also minimize false positives and false negatives.

Even with the best strategies in place, cyber professionals understand that it’s only a matter of when, not if, a cyberattack will happen. Hence, a risk management and incident response plan is necessary for an organization’s cybersecurity posture. While such plans won’t wipe out the financial and reputational aftermath of a cyberattack — a cyber insurance policy can help your organization recover from such attacks.
