When I wrote my first applications in high school, coding was a lot more time-consuming. I didn’t have libraries I could shop through with ready-made bits of code to drop in to save myself time or bridge the gap between the pieces of code I could write to create something more complex. Instead, I had to write everything from scratch. If I wanted to include any kind of image, I would have to draw it with mathematical coordinates, which took a ton of time.

In 1999, a far-fetched movie about a dystopia run by intelligent machines captured our imaginations (and to this day, remains my favorite film). Twenty-four years later, the line between fact and fiction has all but vanished and the blockbuster hits much differently. Are we entering the Matrix? Are we already in it? Can anyone be sure?

Ask a cybersecurity professional what keeps them up at night and you’ll get answers about insufficient staffing, IT complexity or constant attacks on their business. Quantum computing isn’t likely to make the list. Yet as technological change accelerates, real quantum risks are coming into view. Now is the time to prepare corporate IT systems for the “death” of classic cryptography to safeguard data and privacy in the future.

Quantum computing is coming and it has the potential to be both exciting and terrifying… On today’s episode of Trust Issues, host David Puner speaks with cryptographer Dr. Erez Waisbard, CyberArk’s Technology and Research Lead, about quantum computing innovation and its cybersecurity implications – from data encryption to surveillance and privacy. Dr.

The ultimate goal of Identity Security is to provide secure access to every identity for any resource or environment, from any location, using any device. Yet ever-evolving technology and dynamic threats can make executing a comprehensive Identity Security program a complex undertaking.

Crypto scams are skyrocketing: In 2022, the FBI tracked an 183% year-over-year increase, driving $2.57 billion in losses. Last week, the popular YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips (LTT for short) – and two associated channels – became the latest crypto scam victim and unsuspecting accomplice.

When 921 password attacks occur per second, it’s time to treat everyday employees’ credentials like the true operational risk they are. Today’s attackers assign a level of value to employees’ passwords they once reserved for privileged users’ credentials. Why? Workers now have a shocking amount of access to sensitive resources. I’ll elaborate… but through the perspective of a chief information officer kept up at night by risks.

You’ve heard about it. A lot. But there are quite a few nuances when it comes to how Zero Trust security is defined and discussed. Is it a platform or a principle? It’s one of those terms that’s so widely cited that it has the tendency these days to elicit eye rolls within the cybersecurity industry and to be referred to as a buzzword by those sitting at the cool kids’ lunch table.

Today’s guest is Den Jones, who’s Chief Security Officer (CSO) at Banyan Security, a startup Zero Trust network access solution (and a CyberArk technology partner). Jones spent almost 19 years at Adobe, followed by a stop at Cisco, before landing at Banyan in 2021. As his Twitter bio tells it, he’s a “Large Scale Zero Trust Deliverer,” which is part of his multifaceted CSO charge.

“Black Swan” author Nicholas Nassim Taleb once wrote that “intelligence consists in ignoring things that are irrelevant (avoiding false patterns).” Organizations must take this definition to heart as they incorporate Identity Security intelligence – an essential element of any Zero Trust cybersecurity strategy. Many organizations have dedicated Security Operations Center (SOC) teams responsible for their threat detection, investigation and response efforts.
