What Biometric Identification Solution is Suitable for National-Scale Projects?

Biometrics identification? It's everywhere right now, even in your pocket or handbag. You use it to unlock your mobile devices, make online purchases, and access secure facilities. Biometrics identification has stretched its benefits and use cases to national-scale projects. Government institutions currently use an automated biometric identification system, abbreviated as ABIS. This system is used for national-scale or large-scale biometric identification. So, what is an automated biometric identification system? What are its use cases in national-scale projects? Read on to learn more.

A Guide to Implementing Data Classification in Microsoft 365

Organizations today store enormous amounts of data. To protect their business and comply with strict modern regulations, they need to manage and secure it properly. Ideally, every document would receive equal protection, but this approach is unrealistic both financially and operationally. Accordingly, organizations need to classify data so they can prioritize their critical and sensitive content.

Why Security Validation is More than Just Pen Testing or Red Teaming

Attack surface management (ASM) has taken center stage in cybersecurity discussions in recent years. The key factor that sets ASM apart from traditional vulnerability management is its more informed and intelligent response to threats – “the attacker’s point of view” so to speak. What makes this possible is security validation. That’s what we focus on in this article.

How Cato Uses Large Language Models to Improve Data Loss Prevention

Cato Networks has recently released a new data loss prevention (DLP) capability, enabling customers to detect and block documents being transferred over the network, based on sensitive categories, such as tax forms, financial transactions, patent filings, medical records, job applications, and more. Many modern DLP solutions rely heavily on pattern-based matching to detect sensitive information. However, they don’t enable full control over sensitive data loss.

What's New in NIST's Cybersecurity Framework 2.0?

The National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF) was published in 2014 for the purpose of providing cybersecurity guidance for organizations in critical infrastructure. In the intervening years, much has changed about the threat landscape, the kinds of technology that organizations use, and the ways that operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) work and interact.

Oops, Malware! Now What? Dealing with Accidental Malware Execution

On an ordinary day, you're casually surfing the web and downloading some PDF files. The document icons seem pretty legitimate, so you click without a second thought. But, to your surprise, nothing happens. A closer look reveals that what you believed to be a harmless PDF was, in fact, an executable file. Panic sets in as your settings lock up, and even accessing the task manager becomes impossible. Unknown pop-ups invade your screen, telltale signs of malware execution.

What Is Privilege Escalation? How to Detect and Prevent Privilege Escalation Attacks in Windows

Organizations usually rely on remote work capabilities, leading them to use cloud systems. But with increased use of cloud infrastructure, the vulnerability to cyberattacks increases. One such is the Privilege Escalation attack, a complex threat to any network. Multiple defense strategies are required to detect and prevent privilege escalation attacks, but understanding what this attack means is important even before that.
