As our digital world turns toward advances in automated technology to increase efficiency and productivity, cybercriminals are also learning how to execute mass automated cyber-attacks. According to the 2021 AT&T Cybersecurity Insights Report, most people are concerned about the security of various applications and 52% believe that these threats challenge the integrity of networks.
These days, magic links are in the air. They are becoming an intriguing means to strengthen digital security without inconveniencing users. This article discusses magic links, their magical function, and their potential benefits for a corporation.
Cybersecurity is a leading concern for any business today. While this trend has made IT security a secure and potentially lucrative field, modern cybersecurity professionals also face growing challenges. If you hope to keep your business safe amid rising threats, you’ll have to overcome these obstacles. In that spirit, here are seven of the top challenges in modern cybersecurity and how you can solve them.
In today’s threat landscape there is no escape from having a 360° view to protect crucial organization assets. The criticality of the matter is greatly amplified in these times where working remotely has become vastly common among Enterprises and SMBs alike. An ideal security solution would combine threat detection & response on cloud resources as well as on the endpoint level, providing extensive, real-time and impactful coverage customers desperately need.
No matter what sector your organization does business in, you’ve probably heard the term digital transformation. In every industry, digital transformation is going to be critical to remain competitive and resilient. But what does digital transformation mean? And how does cybersecurity fit in? Today’s organizations are facing an increasingly complex environment of securing everything attached to the network; applications, data, and endpoints.
The exponential growth of IoT devices in the energy and utilities industry has greatly increased focus on cybersecurity. Focus on cybersecurity across industries has increased recently, no doubt due to factors like COVID-19 forcing a jump in remote work. In 2020, we saw cybersecurity move from being a technical problem to a business issue.
As environments evolve and cybercriminals become more sophisticated, threat detection and response is becoming increasingly complex. While some organizations are turning to a fully managed detection and response solution, many others with established internal security teams are looking for additional support and expert guidance, while still keeping their program in-house. Our new service, AT&T USM Anywhere Advisors, is the middle-ground solution customers are looking for.
Security and defense theory are inextricably entwined. Consider medieval castles. They were designed as a defensive mechanism that provided security to those within, most of whom were simply civilians hiding behind the walls for protection from invaders. Within cybersecurity, multiple concepts from defense and war theory can be applied to better address the cyber risks facing organizations. In fact, the term Bastion Host refers to a Bastion which has very militaristic connotations.
A squid proxy server has two major functions. First, it is an intermediary proxy. Second, it provides cache services for popular network protocols including HTTP and FTP. The use of proxies and cache services makes up a better internet user experience. Proxies provide added layers of security and cache services that make loading processes faster. Obviously, getting both services from a single provider is highly efficient.
The next iteration in the history of technology convergence emerged with Gartner’s Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). Networking and security vendors have been integrating capabilities for decades, and market adoption of these integrations has only accelerated due to innovations such as virtualization and cloud computing. From a networking perspective, routing of traffic extends far beyond IP and MAC addresses to now include application steering and transport-agnostic overlay networks.
