Software vendors have loads of high-value data they need to protect — from customers’ personally identifiable information to the company’s intellectual property — so a data breach can be catastrophic. There’s a lot on the line if these types of organizations fall victim to a cyberattack, including fines from regulators or damage to their brand and reputation.

Cybersecurity professionals are tasked with the difficult job of protecting their organization's data from malicious actors. To achieve this goal, zero trust security has become an essential tool for organizations. But what exactly is zero trust? In this post, we’re going to separate signal and noise by disambiguating the term zero trust. We’ll talk about what it is, why it matters, and key takeaways you should have regarding the state of cybersecurity in 2023.

The Splunk Threat Research Team (STRT) is happy to release v3.0 of the Splunk Attack Range. Splunk Attack Range is an open source project that allows security teams to spin up a detection development environment to emulate adversary behavior and use the generated telemetry data to build detections in Splunk. This blog highlights the new features introduced in version 3.0 to help build resilient, high-quality detections.

Keeping up with supply chain threats is hard work and, unfortunately, never-ending. There are some good frameworks out there that, when implemented, minimizes the risk of exposure. But for smaller organizations it can be a challenge to get the resources and time to implement them correctly. Not to mention keeping them maintained over time.

Since the conception of mankind, our world has thrived on innovation. It solves problems and drives progress, moving our world forward generation after generation. Innovation has led to the development of new technologies, products, and services that solve problems and meet the needs of people in ways that were previously not possible. From the wheel and the printing press to electricity, cars, computers and the internet – it’s hard to imagine a world without these inventions.

‍ In clinical research, the process of uploading and managing lab data is rife with obstacles. Some of those obstacles threaten to derail productivity, which delays deployment and drives up costs – time is money, after all, and the longer the research phase takes, the more organizations are forced to spend on staffing and other resources. Here’s an overview of the major obstacles biotech organizations are facing today.

Over the last several decades, the world has become more and more digital. From banking online to interacting with friends on social media, the internet has radically altered how we interact with the world. While digital technology has empowered us in many ways, it has also brought some significant risks with it. Cyber-criminals have become savvier, putting your personal information and digital assets at risk.

Adopting cloud technologies is one of the most common tech strategies followed by modern organizations. This may be due to various reasons depending on the nature of the business. But there are a few standard components that span across most domains, not least the fact that cloud vendors allow developers to easily create and take down resources on the cloud with minimal effort.

The banking and fintech industries live and die on the reliability of the online services they offer. It’s vital that the sensitive data that the industry handles is robustly protected, and that the software and applications that it uses are secure. For effective software and application security, it’s critical that banking and fintech organizations rapidly detect, identify, and remediate software vulnerabilities.
