Setting employee controls for IT to manage is the biggest challenge to cloud-native expansion, according to 64% of the developers surveyed in our 2022 Cloud-Native Alignment report.

In a market projected to grow to $288.30 billion by 2030, data centers will expand to facilitate more data-driven workloads, including AI and big data. Much of this expansion continues to occur in the cloud, as companies seek to reap the benefits of low-cost infrastructure that they can spin up as needed. In fact, research shows that cloud workloads represented 94% of all data center workloads worldwide in 2021.

Cyber insurance is a specialized insurance policy that was created to protect businesses from the losses that can occur as a result of cyber attacks. The size of your business does not matter when it comes to needing cyber insurance, and it shouldn’t be your only priority when it comes to your business’s cybersecurity. Read on to learn more about cyber insurance coverage and its cost.

When you’re facing a cyberattack, waiting even just minutes to respond could be the difference between business as usual and a calamity. It may only take that long for threat actors to exfiltrate sensitive data or disrupt critical systems. That’s one reason why automating remediation is an essential ingredient in an effective cybersecurity strategy.

November has turned cold in much of the Northern Hemisphere, and there was plenty of cold comfort to go around in the world of cybersecurity. Our latest round-up looks at a massive company that can’t stop getting breached, another one scrambling to correct an unforced error, a worst-case scenario for the blending of church and state, and a depressing report on just how much money ransomware gangs are pulling in. Let’s get ready for a dip into the chilly waters of cybercrime.

Multiple reports show that people don’t take the necessity to pick secure passwords for their login credentials and personal devices seriously enough. According to Verizon’s 2022 Data Breach Investigations Report, 80% of incidents resulting from hacking attacks involved weak and compromised passwords. These findings make us wonder whether confirming a user’s identity just once at login is enough. Should this be a repeated procedure?

It’s no surprise that industrial environments have become increasingly valuable targets for malicious behavior. The State of Security has featured many cybersecurity events across myriad industrial verticals, including but not limited to chemical manufacturing, transportation, power generation and petrochemical. Several of these industries have taken great strides in improving their defense posture, but this was primarily driven as a result of governmental regulatory compliance requirements.

Cloud adoption and digital transformation have enlarged attack surfaces that can be exploited by malicious actors to harm your organization. Traditional SIEMs and EDRs fall short as they are not cloud-native and also difficult to scale. Further, there are inherent fixed costs that need to be considered when adopting any modern threat detection apparatus.

As a library focused on building user interfaces rather than a full-fledged framework, React enables developers to choose their preferred libraries for various aspects of an application, such as routing, history, and authentication. Comparatively, Microsoft created TypeScript as an extension of JavaScript to introduce optional static typing to an otherwise loosely typed language.

I share a birthday with the Log4j event. However, unlike this event, I’ve been around for more than one year. On December 9th, 2021, a Tweet exposed a zero-day vulnerability in Log4j, a widely-used piece of open-source software. The announcement made headlines everywhere, and cybersecurity was suddenly put in the spotlight. It was a wake-up call for many because, in an instant, software that had been considered secure was suddenly at tremendous risk.
