Knowledge is power. Especially in the hands of your competitors. Information about your company, its products and services, finances, sales, and marketing strategy is a weapon in the ruthless world of espionage in business. That’s why it’s important to ensure that your organization’s data is well-protected. In this article, we reveal the meaning of corporate espionage and explain how to prevent industrial espionage.

Most likely, your organization leverages cloud computing because of its practical advantages: flexibility, rapid deployment, cost efficiency, scalability, and storage capacity. But do you put enough effort into ensuring the cybersecurity of your cloud infrastructure? You should, as data breaches and leaks, intellectual property theft, and compromise of trade secrets are still possible in the cloud.

Monitoring user activity is crucial for maintaining a secure IT environment and complying with cybersecurity regulations. Ekran System is a comprehensive human-focused insider risk management platform for monitoring and managing user sessions. The platform lets you view user sessions to analyze employee and third party activity, meet compliance requirements, and protect your data and critical systems from insider threats.

An insider threat is someone inside an organization – including current and former employees, partners, and contractors – who, intentionally or otherwise, put their organization at risk. They typically abuse their access to private information and privileged accounts to steal or sabotage sensitive data, often for financial gain or even revenge. Organizations today must have effective security solutions in place to identify and respond to insider threats.

Access control is one of the most essential cybersecurity practices. Meticulous management of user access rights helps to secure sensitive data and reduces the chance of a successful attack. However, choosing an access control model relevant to your organization can be tricky. This article discusses use cases for mandatory access control (MAC) and discretionary access control (DAC) models. We also show the difference between DAC and MAC to help you choose one over the other.

We are more, but we are the same. Ekran System Inc. is happy to announce that our company changes its name from Ekran System to Syteca.

This new functionality aims to improve Ekran System’s privileged access management (PAM) capabilities by streamlining password security and management for all users within an organization.

In IT, endpoints are the physical devices that connect to a network system. In a corporate environment, endpoints include mobile devices, desktop computers, laptops, servers, and other equipment employees use to access the network and other critical digital systems. A company with fewer than 50 employees typically averages around 22 endpoints, 50-100 employees average more than 100, and companies with more than 1,000 employees average nearly 2,000.

Access management is a fundamental element of your organization’s security infrastructure. With numerous approaches to implementing an access management system, selecting the most suitable one for your organization may be daunting. In this article, we analyze the two most popular access control models: role-based and attribute-based. We delve into what RBAC and ABAC are, review the pros and cons of each model, compare them, and check if it’s possible to combine them.
