Millions of people use Microsoft Excel to record, organize, and analyze important information. If you fall into this group, you may want to password-protect some of your most important spreadsheets and Workbooks.

EV Code Signing is an A-grade software security solution that every organization needs. It’s one of the most advanced and integrity-assuring mechanisms. With its usage, publishers can digitally sign their software and release them in compliance with digital platforms. With the increasing reverse engineering and data breaches, it’s essential to use an EV Code Signing Certificate. However, the first step is to understand the EV Code Signing Certificate. So, let’s get started.

During the holiday season, it is essential to take extra precautions when it comes to cybersecurity. Cybercriminals may be more active than usual, looking for ways to exploit unsuspecting users. Protect yourself and your loved ones, ensure that you and they are up to date with the latest security software, and be mindful of potential scams.

Cyber incidents are becoming increasingly common and disruptive–whether it’s ransomware, data breaches, or leaks. The number of compelling events in the last few months in Australia have shown us the implications for businesses, and their customers, when a breach occurs.

Governments, businesses, and society depend on reliable, functioning information and communication technology. However, increased severity of ransomware attacks and vulnerabilities in computer chips undermine these infrastructures. Further, as people adopt Internet of Things (IoT) devices, their inherent lack of security and ability to be aggregated into large, malicious bot networks increases these risks.

As the basis of pretty much every consumer system available today, Discretionary Access Control (DAC) is everywhere and used by everyone. The files on your computer, the media and applications on your smartphone, and even your social media content. They all use DAC to manage permissions. That’s in part because DAC is easy to manage and understand. But DAC also has a few glaring issues when it comes to cybersecurity.

Many organizations, especially ones working in the tech and digital field, require constant back-and-forth communication, online file sharing and access to various accounts. Working in a collaborative environment often requires shared accounts, which means employees must find an easy way to share passwords without putting the company at risk of a cyberattack.

Companies often see seasonal business spikes with periods of increased on-line demand or activity. To meet the changing application demands, Kubernetes has become the platform of choice to automatically scale web applications and infrastructure up and down. Autoscaling in Kubernetes adjusts the resources that are available to run the application or service, while minimizing the cost of those resources.

Almost every day we hear of another data breach. There has been no shortage of headline-hitting breaches here in Australia, such as Medibank and Optus. The old-school method of ransomware encrypting any data it has access to and requesting a ransom for the decryption key to restore data has evolved. It is now a more insidious and far-reaching problem involving bad actors exfiltrating data and requesting a ransom to keep from exposing that data publicly.
