Security ratings or cybersecurity ratings are a data-driven, objective, and dynamic measurement of an organization's security posture. They are created by a trusted, independent security rating platform making them valuable as an objective indicator of an organization's cybersecurity performance. Just as credit ratings and FICO scores aim to provide a quantitative measure of credit risk, security ratings aim to provide a quantitative measure of cyber risk.
Data classification is the process of organizing structured and unstructured data into categories, so it can be used and secured more efficiently. It makes data easier to locate and retrieve while facilitating better risk management, legal discovery, and regulatory compliance. Data classification involves labeling sensitive data and personal information to make it searchable and trackable.
The risk of a data breach with significant financial consequences and damage to brand equity is the fear of most large publicly traded companies. But many smaller businesses wrongly assume they are too small to be on the radar of the threat actors. The truth is that it is all about the data, and small businesses often have less well-guarded and well-defined structures for their data stores.
We are excited to announce the general availability of Calico Enterprise 2.7. With this release, Fortinet’s 400,000 customers can use FortiGate to enforce network security policies into and out of the Kubernetes cluster as well as traffic between pods within the cluster.
When working with APIs you may come across the term REST or RESTful. REST stands for Representational State Transfer. In essence, REST is a set of recommendations that an API can adhere to. This makes designing the API easier and using the API more predictable.
As someone who began working in security operations centers (SOC) more than 30 years ago, back when we were known as computer incident response teams (CIRT), I am acutely aware of just how challenging it is to make a living as a SOC analyst. That’s why I’m so enthusiastic about the new Devo Security Operations Platform we launched recently.
Like a trail of evidence criminals may leave behind after committing a crime; almost every digital activity leaves virtual fingerprints. Even when culprits attempt to delete evidence and cover their tracks, with the right methods, evidence, can be recovered.
Congratulations, you have achieved PCI compliance! Now comes the hard part, staying compliant. Remember, it was a great deal of work to get your environment where it needed to be for the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Organizations spend a fair amount of money getting systems, networks, and people exactly where they need to be for cardholder data protection.
Contrary to popular belief, small businesses don’t need to be restricted by their budgets and productive capacity - especially when it comes to security. By using the right Zero Trust approach, businesses can prevent data breaches, all while continuing to grow.
It has been slightly more than a month since Catalogic released KubeDR. Since then, we have been busy adding features and making improvements to the project inspired by all the feedback we’ve received from the community. We are very excited to share all the changes that went into KubeDR since its release on January 15. In the first release, we only supported a disaster recovery scenario restore by using a separate Python utility.
