The security operations center (SOC) plays a critical role in any enterprise’s effort to protect its data from rapidly evolving cybersecurity threats. However, for a variety of reasons revealed in the 2021 Devo SOC Performance ReportTM — which is based on the results of a survey of more than 1,000 security practitioners — organizations are frustrated with their SOC’s lack of effectiveness in performing its vital work.

There has been a huge uptick in microservices adoption in the data analytics domain, primarily aided by machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) projects. Some of the reasons why containers are popular among ML developers is the ease of portability, scalability, and quick access to data using services—specifically network services. The rise of cloud-native applications, especially for big data in the analytics sector, makes these applications a prime target for cyber crime.

The rise in supply chain attacks has highlighted a significant issue in supply chain risk management (SCRM) - most organizations are unaware of the potential risks in their supply chain. This limitation is caused by a discontinuity between cybersecurity initiatives and the threat landscape of global supply chains. Supply chain ecosystems are unpredictable, dynamic, and always evolving.

Not long ago, developers built applications with little awareness about security and compliance. Checking for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and policy violations wasn’t their job. After creating a fully-functional application, they’d throw it over the proverbial fence, and a security team would evaluate it at some point – or maybe never. Those days are gone – due to three main shifts.

Many organizations consider the AV-Comparatives' test series a standard of quality and a guarantee of a reliable product. Recently, Elastic participated successfully in the AV-Comparatives’ Enterprise Main Test Series and received the Approved Product award. This prestigious and industry-recognized quality award means that the Elastic Security software has been rigorously checked to ensure that it will perform its intended task competently.

There’s nothing more frustrating than coming up against an API that won’t cooperate, no matter how hard or long you try! A key component of building integrations, APIs have been a big deal for over a decade. At this point, if a software company doesn’t have one, its technology is as good as obsolete. More than a third of analysts, in a new Tines survey, indicated that API-first is the single most important feature and capability they would look for when evaluating a new SOAR tool.

At LimaCharlie, we are building a world where people and organizations can realize their full potential without compromising security along the way. We believe that it’s best to leave security in the hands of security professionals while enabling them with powerful tools to do what they can do best. For us, these are not just words. It’s a core belief that guides everything we do. Security is about people.

Businesses have become the custodians of massive amounts of data over the past several decades. Some of it is unstructured and ostensibly useless, but much of it contains valuable, sometimes very personal information. More data, more problems. As information proliferated so has the phenomenon of data breaches. Information leaks cost businesses millions of dollars, months of their time, and a good deal of trust from the consuming public. It is a bad situation but also one that breeds opportunity.

Internxt is a little different than your average cloud service. Our secure storage was designed from the ground up with the user and their privacy in mind. To do this, we’ve built our service for Web3, which means the information we encrypt and store is decentralized and our business model has nothing to do with selling data.

Data breaches and cybercrime are all too common. And in recent years, ransomware attacks have caused many organizations to face hefty extortion payments, legal fees, and reputational damage – not to mention the major headache that comes with each. Cyber insurance has become a powerful tool in the world of cyberattacks to help protect organizations from the implications of a ransomware attack, but many don’t understand what a cyber insurance policy actually covers.
