The zero trust maturity model is a Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) initiative to help achieve a modern approach of zero trust through the implementation of five pillars with cross-cutting capabilities. The five pillars of zero-trust security are identity, device, network, application and workload and data.

Every year, Bonnaroo, the popular music and arts festival, takes over a 700-acre farm in the southern U.S. for four days. While the festival is known for its diverse lineup of music, it also offers a unique and immersive festival experience filled with art, comedy, cinema, and more.

Today almost every organization outsources at least some part (if not many parts) of its operations to third parties. That means those organizations must govern the risks of those third parties — but obtaining the assurance you want from your third parties is a daunting task.

Rodney Alto served 35 years as a senior executive in technology at the Central Intelligence Agency. He’s now a senior advisor for federal strategy and security at Forward Networks. What is one of largest challenges today in IT? It’s not AI, quantum computing, or even cyber—it’s technical debt.

PDF Exports: Hidden SSRF Risk In the realm of cybersecurity, understanding vulnerabilities is paramount to safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining the integrity of systems. One such vulnerability that often lurks in the shadows is SSRF, or Server Side Request Forgery. While SSRF vulnerabilities have been extensively discussed in various contexts, today, we're going to delve into a unique perspective – exploring SSRF vulnerabilities through the lens of HTML to PDF exports.

Backup and recovery solutions, anti-malware tools, data encryption tools, and network security tools—how much protection is really enough to prevent endpoint data loss? In this article, we’ll go over everything you need to know about endpoint data loss prevention, including the types of DLP, specific activities you can monitor, how endpoint DLP software can help, and more.

As an organization’s data volume grows, so does the need to manage its access and governance consistently and securely. The proliferation of vast and siloed data spread across diverse applications, multi-cloud and hybrid environments, and formats over the last few decades has made it difficult to control data access and governance. In order for structured data to be effectively utilized, it needs to be combined and enhanced in a way that supports both operational and analytical tasks.

Today’s workforce is more distributed than ever. Globally, 16% of companies are fully remote, while 40% have a hybrid arrangement. As workforces become increasingly distributed, security leaders face many challenges. They must monitor potential malicious activity across a wide array of devices scattered throughout the entire network. With the rise of endpoint monitoring tools, it has become easier to monitor devices. But challenges remain.

As communicated in January, Bitsight will conduct a ratings algorithm update (RAU) on July 10, 2024, as part of our ongoing efforts to optimize our methodology to provide the best external indicator of the performance of cybersecurity controls. Today, we’re excited to announce that our 2024 RAU is available to preview in the Bitsight applications.

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham issued an Executive Order to shore up the state’s cybersecurity readiness and better safeguard sensitive data by conducting a state-wide security assessment and adopting National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards by Nov. 1, 2024.
