Ever wonder how Nucleus got started? Curious to know what our CEO and co-founder Steve Carter is working on? You’re in luck. Steve joined host Chris Hughes on the Cyber Resilience podcast to talk about those topics and more. Additionally, Steve and Chris explored the process for earning FedRAMP authorization, some of the particular vulnerability management challenges government agencies are dealing with, and why risk-based vulnerability management resonates with the government community.

Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) serves as a strategic framework for evaluating an organization’s security posture. CTEM is specifically designed to identify and address vulnerabilities and other security gaps within an organization’s digital infrastructure. In essence, CTEM is a systematic approach to fortify cyber defenses and mitigate potential security risks effectively. Gartner, which created CTEM, sees it as a sort of Vulnerability Management 2.0.

Machine learning (ML) and AI tools raise concerns over mis- and disinformation. These technologies can ‘hallucinate’ or create text and images that seem convincing but may be completely detached from reality. This may cause people to unknowingly share misinformation about events that never occurred, fundamentally altering the landscape of online trust. Worse – these systems can be weaponised by cyber criminals and other bad actors to share disinformation, using deepfakes to deceive.

For most organizations, the decision to adopt cloud technologies is a simple one. Cloud apps streamline operations and costs while enabling users to access resources from anywhere and on any device. But migrating to the cloud has also introduced some complexity, which comes with new risks. Instead of everything residing neatly within your corporate perimeter, your data now resides within countless apps and is being handled by users and endpoints that operate outside of your sphere of influence.

Distributed networks, including software-defined wide area networks (SD-WAN), content delivery networks (CDNs), and secure access service edge (SASE) architectures have become integral to modern IT landscapes. They provide unparalleled performance, scalability, and flexibility, empowering businesses to operate seamlessly across geographical boundaries.

Organizations scrambled to adapt, often prioritizing business continuity over security. However, as the dust settles, it's clear that this new normal of remote work isn't going anywhere. This presents a significant challenge: how do we secure a workforce that's no longer confined within the traditional office perimeter?
