A report published by Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that by 2031, ransomware will attack a business, individual, or device every two seconds. The consequences of such an attack extend beyond the leak of sensitive information and financial losses; customers and clients don’t want to do business with organizations that neglect security of customer data. You can’t simply hope an attack will never happen.

Earlier this year in June, Apple announced a fresh set of updates to Apple device management mainly focused on improving device security and elevating the device user’s experience.

“Please enter the one-time-password (OTP) that has been sent to your registered mobile number.” The next time you see a statement like this remember that there is a definite reason behind it. IT administrators utilize a variety of security methods, including hardware and software solutions, to secure network data against unauthorized access and other threats. These mechanisms are a preventive measure that ensure network security.

The number of cybersecurity events faced by companies and businesses across the globe has grown exponentially since the pandemic began. Without adequate network security monitoring practices and around-the-clock monitoring in place, the chances of a cyber incident happening are highly likely. However, not all companies can afford to have a team of highly trained network admins watching over their network 24×7.

While the internet grows, so does the online presence of businesses of every scale. Although this allows for seamless business operations, you have to also consider the risks involved. Since organizations rely on networks to carry out their activities and utilize a wide range of networking components like routers, switches, servers, firewalls, and VMs, all of which demand continuous end-to-end management, it is critical to protect and defend these networks from threats and attacks.

A SIEM solution has become an integral part of an organization’s security arsenal. But organizations often overlook the system’s capabilities, owing to a belief that SIEM functionalities are too complex and the architecture inscrutable. Regrettably, they neglect to meet the requirements of their organization with the features of the product. For instance, an organization that deals with the credit card information of customers needs to comply with the PCI-DSS requirement.
