Sad fact: cyberattacks continue to grow in volume and sophistication. Plus, ransomware doesn't hit like a bomb–it’s often more like a Trojan Horse, where many organizations don't realize they are under attack until it's too late. Despite investments in infrastructure security tools deployed at the endpoint, perimeter, and network, bad actors are still getting through to hold data for ransom.

A common mistake made in responding to ransomware is rushing through a recovery only to realize that the recovery point was a compromised copy of the system, and in turn, re-introduces the threat back into the environment. To make matters worse, if a replicated copy were to be recovered at a tertiary site, it might introduce malware into networks that it previously didn’t have access to and further impact business operations.

We now see two factors that affect where and how many resources will ultimately be deployed (hint: it’s at the edge).

Another day, another data breach has become a common refrain, in a world saturated with data breaches and other types of data exposures. But over the past few years, a subtle change in the nature of breaches has taken place.

Do you know where your users are going on the Internet? Do you know what they’re doing on the public Internet? How are you protecting your enterprise and your users from their cloud activities? These simple questions belie complex problems that can keep security and compliance practitioners up at night. One of the related challenges that organizations face today is controlling access to corporate and private file sharing applications such as Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox.

Software testing is notoriously hard. Search Google for CVEs caused by basic CRLF (newline character) issues and you’ll see thousands of entries. Humanity has been able to put a man on the moon, but it hasn’t yet found a proper way to handle line endings in text files. It’s those subtle corner cases that have a strong tendency of being overlooked by programmers.
