RSA 2024 is a wrap. After multiple conversations with security leaders and partners on the show floor and during different sessions and happy hours, it’s time to look back and reflect on the biggest takeaways from the conference.

It’s a wrap! RSA 2024 brought together cybersecurity experts, industry leaders, and innovators to delve into critical topics defining the future of digital security. One of the key themes that garnered significant attention at RSA 2024 was software supply chain security.

Every organization relies on technological systems to generate value. These systems work according to company policies that dictate their use. System management solutions allow IT leaders and their teams to enforce those policies in a consistent way across the organization.

Kaspersky reveals the top exploit and vulnerability trends for the first quarter of 2024, HijackLoader evolves with new evasion techniques, and Cobalt releases its 2024 State of Pentesting report.

Symmetric and asymmetric encryption are the two most common ways to protect sensitive data with cryptography. These methods use key(s) to transform an unencrypted message into an encrypted message (a ciphertext) that is extremely difficult to decrypt without the correct key(s). Symmetric encryption uses a single key to encrypt and decrypt data. In contrast, asymmetric encryption uses a pair of keys, a public and private key, to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data.

More enterprise business leaders are beginning to understand that cybersecurity risk equates to business risk—and getting a clearer sense of the impact that cyber exposures can have on the bottom line. Consider the MGM Resorts and Clorox Company cybersecurity incidents that occurred last year. Both suffered considerable attacks, reportedly led by the Scattered Spider cybercriminal group, causing widespread business disruption and substantial financial losses.

Time is of the essence when it comes to protecting your data, and often, teams are sifting through hundreds or thousands of alerts to try to pinpoint truly malicious user behavior. Manual triage and response takes up valuable resources, so machine learning can help busy teams prioritize what to tackle first and determine what warrants further investigation.

Taking a proactive approach to cybersecurity is essential for safeguarding sensitive data and systems from potential threats. By adopting an offensive security strategy, organizations can identify and mitigate vulnerabilities and risks before they are exploited by malicious actors.

SenseOn achieves 99% protection rate and 0 false positives in the latest AV-Comparatives Real-World Protection Test False positive alerts in security operations pose a significant risk by diverting critical resources and attention away from genuine threats. These incorrect alarms, which signal threats where none exist, can lead to wasted time, reduced efficiency, and increased costs as security teams investigate and address these non-issues.
