As your organization grows the demands on the security team increase. Many of these new demands come from prospects and customers doing their due diligence about the security measures your business has in place. Your team is then left struggling to balance a growing number of security questionnaires and customer requests while managing your everyday responsibilities.

In an era dominated by technological advancements and interconnected digital landscapes, the need for robust cybersecurity measures has never been more critical. Cyber threats, attacks, and ransomware incidents continue to rise, targeting organizations of all sizes and industries. In this landscape, network penetration testing has emerged as a vital component of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy.

Nearly four years ago, the Department of Defense released the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). This was created as a complement to NIST SP 800-171, which focused on protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). If you are unfamiliar with what constitutes CUI, the simple way to think of it is to apply the broadest terms of privacy to any information that relates to any government relationship with a company.

The digital transformation of industrial landscapes has brought unprecedented advancements in efficiency and productivity for Operational Technology (OT) companies. But this surge in connectivity exposes critical infrastructure to heightened cybersecurity risks, such as: To address these risks, OT companies should adhere to the guidelines in the European Union’s Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems (NIS2).

Conducting regular user access reviews is an effective way to make sure your organization is securing access to critical systems and third-party vendors. Frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001 even require proof of regular access reviews to demonstrate compliance. ‍ Without automation, access reviews are tedious and time-consuming, requiring IT and security teams to manually record user access information in a spreadsheet and take countless screenshots of access permissions screens. ‍

The pace and complexity of AI technologies is increasing every day. In this rapidly changing environment, it’s critical for companies to adopt a rigorous approach to safely and responsibly incorporating AI into their products and processes. ‍ That’s why we’re excited to announce that the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (RMF) is now available in beta.
