Many years ago, the philosopher Phaedrus said, “Things are not always what they seem; the first appearance deceives many; the intelligence of a few perceives what has been carefully hidden.” He couldn’t have possibly imagined today’s world, yet his warning encapsulates deepfakes, one of the greatest threats of modern times. As AI advances, digital disinformation is blurring the lines between fact and fiction.

KnowBe4 is a big believer in focusing on decreasing human risk as the best way to decrease cybersecurity risk in most environments. A big part of decreasing human risk is using effective security awareness training (SAT). You do not want to just focus on SAT, but SAT is a big part of decreasing human risk. To be sure, your human risk management projects need to be broadly focused on more than SAT. We agree.

No, you don’t need more than one Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution to protect your organization if you find one that encompasses zero-knowledge security, granular access control, session management and automated password rotation. Previously, your organization may have needed multiple PAM solutions for various tasks; however, KeeperPAM is a unified platform that provides centralized cloud management of privileged access, passwords, secrets and connections.

It’s the holiday season, and as we close out the year, I’ve never been more confident in the people and mission that fuel Arctic Wolf. A year ago, we set a goal to be even bolder in our commitment to define the security operations industry, while maintaining the qualities that make us great: our community, our perseverance, and our willingness to go above and beyond to delight our customers.

While many businesses wind down during the holiday season, cyber criminals ramp up their efforts instead. E-commerce sites are obvious targets, but threat actors target cloud services providers, financial institutions, and social media networks just as often — if not more — during the holidays. Whatever your organization does, you’ll want to follow a few holiday cybersecurity tips to safeguard your sensitive data and protect your staff as the year comes to a close.

Cybersecurity industry analysts were not the only group touting Trustwave. In 2024, a variety of media and workplace reviewing sources hailed Trustwave not only for our security solutions but as a great place to work. Because Trustwave is proud of how our employees perceive us let's take a look at the awards issued by Comparably, a leading workplace culture and compensation monitoring employee review platform. Trustwave was awarded three Comparably awards in 2024.

In today’s competitive job market, employees are increasingly seeking a sense of purpose and belonging in their work environments. As McKinsey reports, purpose has become a pivotal factor in employee retention. IT leaders who fail to connect their teams’ day-to-day tasks to a broader mission risk losing top talent to organizations that do.

The rapid adoption of cloud technology in the past few years has transformed IT environments, enabling unprecedented opportunities for flexibility, scalability, and collaboration. However, this transformation has introduced a potentially dangerous level of complexity into these environments – recent research from PwC revealed that 75% of executives report too much complexity in their organizations, leading to ‘concerning’ cyber and privacy risks.

The holiday season is a time when hardworking employees relax — and hardworking threat actors look for their next victims. As workers buy more products online, take seasonal trips, and give in to holiday distractions, large organizations become tempting targets for cyber attacks. Phishing, ransomware, and similar threats may be even more effective than usual in the last few months of the year. That means the impact of cyber attack strategies can also be more significant.

For most people, the holidays may be a time for winding down and taking a break. For cyber criminals, it’s just the opposite. With many of your staff out of the office or signing in remotely, and a large percentage of business being done at the end of the year, organizations are a prime target for cyber threats on and around the holidays. To protect your organization, you’ll want to enact a firm security framework.
