The internet of things (IoT) is a highly developed space that is home to a vast amount of sensitive data, making it a very attractive target for cybercriminals. Threats and risks continue to evolve as hackers come up with new ways to breach unsecured systems -- posing a threat to the ecosystem itself. Let’s take a look at the leading threats and risks to the IoT and the associated vulnerabilities that must be secured.
We all know how cyber security has become an increasingly important issue as the reliance on internet-connected devices has increased. This is why some companies are looking for third-party providers to handle their IT security needs to free up resources and reduce costs. Find out what you should be looking for in a provider, as well as why outsourcing cyber security can be a good option for some businesses.
We in cybersecurity just love new, buzzy acronyms. The latest is “XDR,” otherwise known as extended detection and response. No doubt, you’ve already read an article, watched a webinar, or listened to a podcast on XDR.
If you’re a Python developer looking to easily secure your applications, you’re in the right place! Snyk helps you secure all the code making up your Python app — your own code, the open source libraries you’re pulling in, your containers, and your infrastructure as code (IaC) — by integrating seamlessly into your existing development workflows.
Step 3: Know the flow of the data through the ecosystem—be the inspection point between the user and the data.
It seems as if everything is happening in the cloud now — whether I’m sharing a document with a colleague or backing up family photos. This is happening in cybersecurity as well, where the storage flexibility and computing power of the cloud have enabled new ways to secure organizations.
Determining the security posture for an increasing quantity of cloud accounts and services used by many organizations can feel overwhelming, but Tripwire Configuration Manager can help you find, fix, and even enforce settings for common security problems in cloud services. In this blog, we will show how the simple steps required to have Tripwire Configuration Manager automatically fix common configuration issues.
Often, the most critical threats come from within an organization itself. This is true for all sectors, but it is especially true for industrial control systems (ICS). Technicians in these environments already have access to plant controls and may have the deep knowledge of industrial processes needed to achieve specific goals. The damage caused by an insider may range from mild disruption to major disaster depending on what is attacked.
The events of 2020 accelerated many organizations’ efforts to converge their information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) environments. Now that they’re immersed in this journey, some organizations are finding that it’s not quite as smooth as they were expecting. They’re learning that they need to overcome several challenges if they hope to leverage the IT-OT convergence as part of their ongoing digital transformations. That raises some important questions.
