In the dynamic field of cybersecurity, two essential practices stand out: Ethical Hacking and Vulnerability Assessment. Both play critical roles in safeguarding digital assets, yet they serve different purposes and employ distinct methodologies. Understanding the differences, their place in cybersecurity, and when to deploy each tactic is crucial for maintaining a robust security posture.

Have you heard about SOPS? If you have already been in a situation where you needed to share sensitive information with your teammates, this is for you. Today, let's have a look at how it works and how to use it with various key management services such as AWS KMS and HashiCorp Vault.

Security is a top buying requirement for businesses today. In fact, two-thirds of respondents to our State of Trust survey say that customers, investors, and suppliers are increasingly looking for proof of security and compliance. As concerns around in-house security practices, third-party tools, and access to customer data grow, customer expectations for trust continue to rise. ‍

Data is the backbone of all businesses as everything moves online. Effective data analysis helps businesses to predict future trends, identify any gaps, and understand customer behavior, bringing them ahead of their competitors. Other than being indispensable, data is also a sensitive asset because if found in the wrong hands, it can bring disastrous consequences for any organization.

The Enterprise OPA Platform’s low-code policy builder empowers product owners and security analysts to design, review, and experiment on application permission logic directly.

Over the past decade, Bitcoin’s value has increased more than 200-fold. Similarly, other cryptocurrencies have also seen significant growth, prompting many individuals to engage in mining for profit. This rise in cryptocurrency mining has led to a substantial increase in the use of cryptominers. As organizations increasingly migrate their computing workloads to the cloud for various benefits, attackers have shifted their focus to these cloud resources for cryptocurrency mining.

Our world is more digitally connected than ever, including the critical infrastructure systems we rely on: power grids, water treatment plants, transportation networks, communication systems, emergency services, and hospitals. A successful attack on critical infrastructure can have dire consequences, ranging from widespread power outages and contaminated water supplies to economic downturns and societal disruption. Some of those consequences have come to fruition in recent years.

Ahead of Rubrik’s inaugural Healthcare Summit on September 12th, I thought it was appropriate to set the stage for what’s coming. Threat actors aren’t going to wait for you to get ready before they launch their attack. They’re banking on you not being able to recover your data—or not being able to recover fast enough—to maximize the damage they leave in their wake.

Security ratings are a data-driven, dynamic measurement of an organization's cyber security performance that can be used to understand and influence internal and third-party cyber risk. Sometimes referred to as cybersecurity ratings, these quantitative metrics give security teams a simple indicator of security performance across their own organization, as well as the security posture of the third-party organizations they rely on.

When workloads moved to the cloud, a huge burden was lifted from the enterprise in infrastructure and operational overhead. This transition also brought with it the “shared responsibility” model, where cloud providers took on much of the responsibility previously relegated to expensive engineering teams.
