The confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) triad is a critical concept in cybersecurity, including three fundamental principles that help protect information. Organizations seeking a starting point for developing an information security framework would benefit from the triad model.

In today’s cloud-based work environments, it’s all too easy for assets with sensitive data like PII, PCI, PHI, secrets, and intellectual property (IP) to be sprawled across the enterprise tech stack. With the skyrocketing costs of data breaches, one sprawled secret can cost organizations an average of $4.45 million. This is where Data Leak Prevention (DLP) solutions come in to limit secret sprawl, prevent data leaks, and ensure continuous compliance with leading standards.

As the world enters the AI Era, CISOs and CIOs are looking at data security with renewed interest and urgency. Instead of multiple overlapping yet disconnected tools, it’s time for one unified platform to trace and secure data wherever it goes.

Technology can serve as a double-edged sword for women grappling with domestic abuse: while it has the potential to save lives, it also has the capacity to lay bare one's most intimate vulnerabilities. One such harrowing story comes from a survivor (which we will call Bridget to protect her anonymity), who faced a nightmare of cyberstalking, intimate image abuse (colloquially known as revenge porn), and relentless online harassment that lasted for years.

In a startling development, the Akira ransomware gang has demonstrated a dramatic reduction in the time it takes to exfiltrate data from compromised servers. According to the BlackBerry Threat Research and Intelligence Team, this cybercriminal group managed to steal data from a Veeam server in just over two hours during a June attack on a Latin American airline.

Guiding employees' digital behaviors is key to avoiding potential cybersecurity breaches. However, remote work during summer weeks may disrupt normal routines and change the location of digital assets, leaving companies open to vulnerabilities. According to our latest Internet Security Report, malware detections on endpoints increased by more than 75% during the first months of the year.

Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs), desperate to automate repetitive tasks, initially turned to SOAR to reduce their workload and improve threat response times. Unfortunately, legacy SOAR tools still face scalability, flexibility, and integration challenges. As the complexity and volume of cyber threats continue to grow, the limitations of legacy SOAR have become more apparent, necessitating the move towards more advanced automation technologies like Torq Hyperautomation.

Many companies are stepping up their security measures to protect against cyber risks associated with the increasing use of cloud services and remote work. As a result, the global deployment of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is on the rise. According to the 2024 Gartner CIO and Technology Executive Survey, 39% of respondents have already deployed SASE or plan to do so within the next 24 months.
