The typical workplace of the information age is no longer an office cubicle with a desktop PC. It’s an airplane seat, a comfy cafe chair, and a kitchen table — and it may not even have a company-issued device at its center. Research shows the productivity gains made possible by the growth of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies. Yet empowering employees to do their best work wherever they are and with whatever devices they have at their disposal also comes with risks.

Smart devices are everywhere — and one common cybersecurity myth is that security teams don’t need to worry about sensitive data stored on them. However, in a landscape where 75% of organizations have experienced phishing attacks against their employees, a robust security posture that includes coverage of your employees' personal tech is a must.

This is a common practice of enhancing information security where a specific piece of hardware built to perform such tasks is used to encrypt and decrypt data. While software encryption is platform-dependent and depends on the CPU and memory of the system on which it is installed, hardware encryption typically works in parallel with dedicated components such as HSMs, SEDs, or TPMs.

Buffer overflows are one of the oldest and most dangerous vulnerabilities in software security. A heap buffer overflow was the second most exploited vulnerability in 2023. Over the years, it has enabled countless attacks, often with severe consequences, such as Cloudbleed in 2017. Despite advances in security practices, buffer overflows continue to pose significant risks, especially in software written in low-level languages like C and C++.

The Network and Information Security (NIS2) Directive’s deadline of October 17th has officially passed. Yet despite this deadline – and the strict penalties in place for non-compliance – nearly 66% of businesses operating in Europe have likely not implemented the necessary compliance controls (Veeam Software). Additionally, the majority of EU member states have yet to officially codify NIS2 standards into their national laws.
