To build a strong security and compliance foundation, organizations need to be able to view, manage, and secure devices, such as laptops and desktops. If you’re new to security and compliance, you may be wondering how to tackle this problem—especially at scale. With effective mobile device management (MDM) software, your company can manage and secure employee devices used to access company systems and applications.
As organizations are rapidly moving to the cloud to leverage the cloud advantage, services are also moving to the cloud, including cybersecurity solutions such as SIEM. In fact, SIEM as a Service is rapidly gaining momentum as an alternative to traditional, on-premises SIEM solutions. In its 10 Questions to Answer Before Adopting a SaaS SIEM report, Gartner had predicted that by 2023, 80% of SIEM solutions will have capabilities that are delivered via the cloud.
Due to the growing acceptance of distance learning, digital courses, and most recently, the COVID-19 epidemic, online education has seen a significant increase. Online student identity verification has become more popular as a quick and secure method of verifying student IDs and a cost-effective approach to onboarding new students and employees. The rapidly disappearing manual and paper-based student verification procedures are neither scalable nor practical for educational institutions.
Kroll analysts have identified new tactics used by threat actors associated with the AvosLocker ransomware. Critical vulnerabilities have been exploited within Veeam Backup and Replication, which may be an attempt to hide activity from detection technologies. The proxy tool “Chisel” has been identified, which can encrypt traffic through a victim’s firewall and could be used as a further evasion technique.
The healthcare industry has been a favored target for cybercriminals for many years. In the first half of 2022 alone, 324 attacks against healthcare organizations have been reported. Attackers have primarily focused on large hospitals in years past, but there has been a sudden switch to smaller healthcare companies and specialty clinics. There seems to be a clear trend in attacks against the healthcare industry, and that trend includes targeting smaller healthcare companies and clinics.
As the years go by, technology continues to evolve, and as we rely more and more on smart devices and the online space, there becomes greater risks of cyberattacks. If you work as a cybersecurity professional, then you are fighting the good fight, but it isn’t always easy. The job is unpredictable, and it requires odd hours and constant vigilance.
In 1974, the United States Congress created the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in order to protect the health of citizens and the environment while at the same time ensuring that radioactive materials were used in a safe manner for civilian purposes.
Investigating the origin of activity in cloud-native infrastructure—and understanding which activity is a potential threat—can be a challenging, time-consuming task for organizations. Cloud environments are complex by nature, comprising thousands of ephemeral, interconnected resources that generate large volumes of alerts, logs, metrics, and other data at any given time.
In a previous post, we discussed how alert overload can cripple security teams and prevent them from effectively detecting and responding to threats. In this post, we explore how no-code automation can help reduce the burden of alerts while providing the visibility and connectivity your organization requires. It's critical to have robust security solutions that not only help you detect but also block serious attacks before they cause any damage.
