Revolutionizing the way businesses and consumers complete transactions, digital wallets continue to grow in popularity due to their ease of use and stronger security when compared to traditional payment methods. However, the increased use of digital wallets makes for a major target for cybercriminals. It is important to remember to follow best practices when opening and using digital wallets to ensure you and your information are protected.
Every technology has its downside. Likewise, internet use also has its drawback of cyber threats, which we already know. All the companies are struggling to secure their virtual assets from cyber-attacks to run a successful business. But the threat possibilities are worsening with new concepts like working from remote locations and cloud computing.
Following my recent AISA session about security transformation in October, I am digging further into the value that can come from both security and digital transformation, applying security service edge capabilities and zero trust principles as part of the broader digital transformation strategy.. In the first part of this three-part blog series, I am going to take a look at how an understanding of digital strategy and digital risk are foundational to a modern security transformation journey.
Malware is becoming more sophisticated, and it would be impossible to prevent and defend from every single cyber threat out there. As the digital dependence of enterprises grows in tandem with the enterprise’s growth, we at Rubrik are seeing some consistent trends that can be mapped to their exacerbating cyber risk. In today's competitive landscape, it is even more important to secure your data to defend against cyber attacks.
As data is becoming a critical asset and data breach incidents are increasing, the software is becoming a primary factor for both. And for securing it, Code Signing Certificate is a primary component software publishers use. Developers have recently been utilizing certificates with a 2048-bit key length. But, in 2021, a new policy was enacted, directing CAs to issue Code Signing Certificates with a 3072-Bit Key Length. The primary aim of defining such a standard was to strengthen security.
Calling all enterprises, endpoint management is changing. New endpoint protection platforms & AI-powered solutions are a game-changer for companies looking to enhance their security capabilities and remain bulletproof. The worst of the pandemic appears to be behind us; however, enterprises are still adjusting to the post-COVID new normal. For many industries, remote work and the hybrid office remain essential adjustments that are not going back to normal.
Humans are considered the weakest link in cybersecurity. No matter how much a company invests in firewalls, antivirus, and other security software to detect, deter, and prevent attacks humans will always be the main vectors for compromise. If no adequate user-security training is provided within the organization, they will always be at risk. Phishing is one of the oldest cyber-attacks yet one of the most used by attackers due to its effectiveness and low cost.
Zero trust, if implemented well, is recognized by the industry as the best way to support remote and hybrid work, especially as workers everywhere connect to SaaS applications to stay productive. But securing an entire organization goes way beyond SaaS apps. Legacy apps running on-premises or in private clouds are still critical for many organizations, especially for those who have made hefty investments in storage and network appliances to support these important applications.
