Why Security Configuration Management (SCM) Matters

Security configuration management (SCM) is all about making sure your security systems do what you think they’re doing. In tennis, there is something called an unforced error. This is when a player loses points for a mistake they made themselves, not due to the skill of the other opponent. In a big way, security misconfigurations are those unforced errors on the security side or instances in which we give attackers a free win. Let/node/29512/’s stop that.

5 Things to Learn About COBIT

You can’t do large-scale business in 2024 without having a successful, well-run IT infrastructure.

How To Prevent Secrets Sprawl

Where are your credentials and secrets, and how are you protecting them? These are fair questions, considering the pervasiveness of secrets sprawl. We recently conducted research over 12 months to determine where enterprises’ secrets were residing within their systems, like GitHub, Confluence, Zendesk and Slack. In addition to API keys and passwords, secrets like SSL certificates, usernames and others are spilling into enterprises’ cloud environments and increasing the risk of a breach.

How to Encrypt Ethernet IP Address for Enhanced Network Security?

It's more important than ever to protect network assets as cyber threats keep changing. Encrypting Ethernet IP addresses is one way to make a network safer. This helps keep private data from being intercepted and accessed by people who aren't supposed to be there. For businesses that want to make their network interactions safer, they need to know how to encrypt Ethernet IP address. Encrypting network addresses makes data sent over Ethernet less vulnerable to attacks.

NSA Suite B Encryption: Understanding Its Role in Securing Sensitive Data

Since data breaches are becoming more common and online threats are always changing, strong encryption methods are needed to keep private data safe. NSA Suite B Encryption is one of these standards. It was made by the National Security Agency (NSA) to provide a group of safe cryptographic methods. These algorithms are very important for keeping private information safe in many areas, such as the government, the military, and the private industry.

Can Generative AI Help Identify Malware and Phishing?

How Generative AI Can Help Identify Malware? Spambrella explains how AI models add value: Generative AI models can identify malware by learning the patterns and structures typical of malicious code versus benign software. Code Generation and Analysis – By generating variations of known malware, these models can simulate potential new forms of malware, helping cybersecurity teams anticipate and defend against unseen threats.

The Work Doesn't End After Cybersecurity Awareness Month

Each October, the cybersecurity industry recognizes Cybersecurity Awareness Month, an international initiative first launched by the National Cybersecurity Alliance in 2004 to provide education about online safety and empower individuals and businesses to protect their data from cybercrime. This October, Keeper Security took this important commemorative month one step further. We decided that it’s time to move from knowing digital risks to taking decisive action to prevent damaging cyber attacks.

Introduction to Privileged Access Management (PAM): Device Authority and CyberArk's Integration

Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a comprehensive methodology for managing and securing privileged accounts—those that possess elevated permissions to perform critical functions within an organisation’s IT infrastructure. These accounts enable access to sensitive data and systems, making them highly attractive to cybercriminals. The core objective of PAM is to ensure that only authorised personnel have access to these accounts, under strict monitoring and control.

Quarantined Malware: Next Steps After Detection and Containment

Today's digital world is always at risk from malware, so it's more important than ever to have good safety habits. Most of the time, the first thing a company does when they find a disease is isolate the threat. This process comes up with the idea of "quarantined malware," which is malicious software that has been found and put somewhere else so it can't do more damage. For a company, this is a very important part of their security plan because it keeps systems safe from attacks.

The changing face of the incident response retainer

However, while the retainer model has evolved to meet changing security needs, not all options offer the flexibility required in today’s complex threat landscape. This article outlines how the incident response retainer has changed and continues to develop in scope, and also looks at the different types of available retainer models.
