Transforming IT Security with Microsoft Defender Suite

IT teams are the unsung heroes of today’s fast-paced digital world, tirelessly toiling behind the scenes to keep data safe and systems running smoothly. One tool that’s presented a major shift for many IT departments is the Microsoft Defender Suite. Let’s explore how this powerful suite of tools is transforming IT security and making life easier for IT professionals.

Common security testing approaches leave gaps. Here's how to find them.

Gaps in your security testing program are likely more than simply missed assets. Infrequent testing and even low test accuracy are also gaps, and can be just as bad or worse. Gaps happen despite the best efforts of everyone involved. The good news is that, with some strategic adjustments, you can reduce gaps using tools you likely already have deployed.

Securing AI and LLM: The Critical Role of Access Controls

As more companies leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to maximize productivity and accelerate growth, the responsibility of safeguarding data has become increasingly critical. In this environment, robust access controls are not just a security measure but a fundamental aspect of responsible AI usage. This article will explore what access controls are, why they are essential for AI and LLM security, and how organizations can implement them effectively.

Navigating the Cloud Chaos: 2024's Top Threats Revealed

Misconfigurations (when cloud computing assets are set up incorrectly, leaving them vulnerable to unauthorized access, data breaches, and operational disruptions) and inadequate change control top the list of cloud security threats in 2024, rising from third place the year before. It's clear that the transition to cloud computing has amplified the challenges of configuration management, making it critical for entities to adopt cloud-specific configurations.

Navigating Git History

In today’s software development, Git usually stands as a “go-to” for DevOps projects. It allows teams of developers to collaborate and contribute on non-linear projects, go back to any point in time and undo, as well as, redo changes whenever they need. In this article, we will go over important commands to help you navigate your commit history.

Focusing on the WHY: Jit Enables Developers to Understand the Runtime Context for Security Issues

While code and cloud security scanners are great at identifying code flaws and cloud misconfigurations, they can bombard developers with long lists of potential security “issues” – many of which don’t introduce real risk. Whether insecure code introduces real risk depends on a number of factors, like whether it is being deployed to production, is exposed to the internet, or calls a sensitive database.

How to Build a Cyber Security Culture?

Cybersecurity is no longer an awareness issue but a strategic execution problem. In 2023, 96% of CEOs acknowledged cybersecurity’s importance for organizational growth, stability, and competitiveness, but only 15% had dedicated board meetings to discuss cybersecurity issues. This disconnect between awareness and action stems primarily from difficulty quantifying cybersecurity goals, investments, and return on investment (ROI), making it easier to overlook or, at best, an afterthought.
