As workforces continue to evolve and adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic, the door is open for organizations to hire workers from anywhere around the country to offer their skills remotely as needed, often as a freelancer or gig worker. While this outgrowth of the burgeoning gig economy stands to benefit many businesses in need, it’s important that you assess your risk of utilizing gig workers and freelancers.
According to last year’s Gartner forecast, public cloud services are anticipated to grow to $USD 266.4 billion by the end of this year, up from $USD 227.8 billion just a year ago. Clearly, cloud computing is making its way to cloud nine, (See what I did there?) leveraging the sweet fruits of being in the spotlight for a decade. However, the threats to public cloud security are growing at the same rate.
Most organizations are aware that data loss prevention must be a top priority – but few understand how different tools and policies must be leveraged in combination to create complete, 360-degree protection for critical data. Data loss prevention (DLP) has traditionally focused on securing data on devices – laptops, phones, and internal company networks.
The new Devo eBook, Building the Modern SOC, presents four evolutionary steps for creating a highly automated and efficient security operations center (SOC) that empowers analysts. This is the second in a series of posts about the four steps that highlight some of the most important concepts. The first post covered Step 1, which is about establishing a foundation of centralized, scalable visibility. This post excerpts Step 2, extracting intelligent insights from your data.

In this blog in the IT security under attack series, we will learn about an advanced Active Directory (AD) domain controller (DC) attack to obtain persistence in AD environments. Dubbed DCShadow, this is a late-stage kill chain attack that allows a threat actor with admin (domain or enterprise admin) credentials to leverage the replication mechanism in AD to register a rogue domain controller in order to inject backdoor changes to an AD domain.
Creating and maintaining relationships with third parties brings about multiple risks. Whether your organization is large or small, it’s almost certain that you have business relationships with many third parties for specific types of operations. When operational data and confidential information are exchanged with third parties, that data and information are vulnerable to misuse and exploitation. This is where risk comes into the equation.
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems are vital to each organization. They transform simple event logs from various applications to detailed, in-depth behavior analysis thanks to advanced visualizations and analytics and sometimes machine learning and AI. They contain a palette of aspects covering the most crucial information security issues.
How companies like Netflix, Pinterest, Yelp, Chef, and Atlassian use OPA for ‘who-and what-can-do-what’ application policy. In the cloud-native space, microservice architectures and containers are reshaping the way that enterprises build and deploy applications. They function, in a word, differently than traditional monolithic applications.
As we learned in 2020, vendors predict, and the universe laughs. But this year we polled our experts at Netskope to get their view of the year to come. Here’s how we see 2021 shaping up for networking and security, in the form of some pretty safe bets, and some harder calls. As more organizations consolidate and move away from appliance-based security technologies, IT and security teams will realize the cost savings and operational efficiencies the move to cloud brings.
