Compromised secrets, such as leaked API and SSH keys, credentials, and session tokens, are the leading cause of cloud security incidents. While attackers can directly compromise secrets through methods like phishing, they can also gain control by finding and taking advantage of simple misconfigurations in your environment.

We’re excited to announce our new partnership with Backblaze—bringing their Cloud Storage to businesses in North America and supporting Canadian companies that require data to remain within national borders.

When utilizing a new tool or solution to manage and monitor your data, it’s paramount that you can guarantee that the service you’re using is secure and that it protects your valuable data. With OpenSearch, you can rest assured that you’re using one of the most secure and robust solutions available. The solution emerged for numerous reasons, with one of the main factors being discontent among users surrounding privacy.

As organizations adopt more modern application strategies, APIs are increasingly important for enabling seamless communication and data exchange. However, this interconnectedness also introduces more significant security risks. APIs are gateways to sensitive information, making them prime targets for attackers. This can result in data breaches, business disruptions, and reputational damage.

Organizations spend 32.4% of security budgets on code security, yet only 44% of developers follow secrets management best practices. Get the full insights in our 2024 report.

Imagine scanning a QR code to pay for parking or to buy a new jacket, only to realize you handed over credentials or card data to fraudsters. Yes – phishing is now also an offline phenomena, expanding its reach into real-world spaces via QR codes. Known as ‘QRishing’, this increasingly common attack exploits growing reliance on QR codes in both online and everyday physical environments, exploiting users’ lack of vigilance.

Before the introduction of static code analysis tools, securing mobile applications often felt like playing catch-up. Development teams would spend months building features, only to discover critical vulnerabilities late in the release cycle. This last-minute scramble to fix security issues delayed product launches and stretched resources thin—adding more pressure on developers and security teams.

Organizations across different industries are subject to diverse regulatory compliance frameworks, each with stringent requirements. In the healthcare, finance, and utility sectors, these standards are particularly critical due to the high sensitivity of data and the potential consequences of breaches or non-compliance. Protegrity’s data compliance platform simplifies meeting regulatory requirements by employing encryption, tokenization, and data masking.

Just like human users, computer programs also need access to resources on a network to function properly. There’s a difference in how these two groups—individuals and programs—access these resources, though. While humans utilize user accounts, computer programs use Active Directory service accounts.

SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) and OAuth (Open Authorization) are two of the most common user authentication and authorization protocols. Both of them help manage identity and access using tokens, but they serve different purposes and operate in different contexts. This blog explains the key similarities and differences between SAML and OAuth and the specific use cases where they are most commonly employed.
