2019 has been a year of metamorphosis for Gravitational. We started over four years ago as a group of infrastructure engineers who were frustrated with the complexity of cloud application delivery. We wanted cloud apps to be as easy to distribute as desktop software is. It was a big year for our team.
An organization's security posture (or cybersecurity posture) is the collective security status of all software, hardware, services, networks, information, vendors and service providers. Your security posture encompasses information security (InfoSec), data security, network security, penetration testing, security awareness training to prevent social engineering attacks, vendor risk management, vulnerability management, data breach prevention and other security controls.
The ISA/IEC 62443 series of standards, developed by the ISA99 committee and adopted by the International Electrotechnical Commission, provides a flexible framework to address and mitigate current and future security vulnerabilities in industrial automation and control systems. These standards not only address configuration weaknesses to harden systems against vulnerabilities, but they also help address design considerations for the infrastructure used to run industrial equipment.
The cloud has changed how we use and consume IT services. Where data resides along with how it is transferred, stored and processed has fundamentally changed and with-it new risk management challenges. Let’s talk about some of those challenges. First and foremost, the cat is out of the bag. We’re not going back to the data center, and any resistance to that is going to be seen as a business inhibitor and will therefore not get much airtime.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle once said, “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” When it comes to guaranteeing that every payment transaction completes as expected, this statement could not be more accurate.

Hey, there. This is part five of the Elastic SIEM for home and small business blog series. If you haven’t read the first, second, and third blogs, you may want to before going any further. In the Getting started blog, we created our Elasticsearch Service deployment and started collecting data from one of our computers using Winlogbeat. In the Securing cluster access blog, we secured access to our cluster by restricting privileges for users and Beats.
Today’s cyber threat landscape is diverse – new threats are emerging every day and cyber criminals are being sophisticated in terms of their covert nature and ability to launch attacks in massive frequency with minimal chances of detection.
As someone in the technology field I follow the steady stream of new and exciting products and gadgets that come out at least twice a year. I am constantly upgrading my tech and my IT work tools in keeping with what is new. I need to have personal experience with the devices and equipment that clients hire me to manage, upgrade and repair for them in my IT Consulting practice. I often think about the effect that my constant upgrading has on the environment.
When it comes to protecting sensitive data, preventing data breaches and detecting cyber attacks, you need a way to track whether you're meeting your goals. Key performance indicators (KPIs) are an effective way to measure the success of your cybersecurity program and aid in decision-making. According to PwC, just 22 percent of Chief Executive Officers believe their risk exposure data is comprehensive enough to form decisions. A figure that - alarmingly - hasn't changed in 10 years.
