You’ve probably heard the Boy Scout motto, “be prepared.” In his 1908 handbook, Scouting for Boys, the author explained, “it shows you how you must be prepared for what is possible, not only what is probable.” Your cyber incident response plan is how you prepare for a possible, and, also in today’s world, probable security incident or data breach. Unfortunately, since every organization is different, no single plan will work for everyone.

Vendor risk management is top of everyone’s mind considering recent headline grabbing supply chain attacks, such as SolarWinds. But as more vendors enter your digital supply chain, keeping up with vendor adoption is tough.

Organizations must constantly adapt to the challenges of maintaining compliance while handling data. Nowhere is that more apparent than cross-border data protection, which allows data to be and remain protected across jurisdictions, states, counties, and countries with the right data security tools. According to the United Nations, 137 of 197 of its members have data and privacy legislation in place.

In the vast realm of digital investigations, there exists a fascinating technique known as recycle bin forensics. Delving into the depths of this captivating field unveils a world where seemingly deleted files can still reveal their secrets, allowing digital detectives to reconstruct user activities and uncover valuable information. So, let's embark on a journey to demystify recycle bin forensics and understand its role in the realm of cybersecurity.

The persistent shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals which grew by 26.2% over the past year, coupled with the fact that global cyberattacks increased 38% in 2022, means organizations are increasingly looking to security automation to help the cybersecurity teams keep pace. In fact, 98% of respondents to our “2022 State of Cybersecurity Automation Adoption” survey say they have increased their automation budgets.
