These days, magic links are in the air. They are becoming an intriguing means to strengthen digital security without inconveniencing users. This article discusses magic links, their magical function, and their potential benefits for a corporation.
From ordering groceries to paying taxes everything has taken a shift to digital platforms. If you are still not going digital, you are putting your survival at stake. With the spur in digitization, digital identification has become ‘fundamental’ to the everyday operation of online services, but a universally recognized and secure solution has been lacking ever since.
SecurityScorecard also found that 1 in 5 of the world’s food processing, production, and distribution companies rated have a known vulnerability in their exposed Internet assets
SIEMs have been around for decades, designed to replace manual log correlation to identify suspicious network activity by normalizing alerts across multiple technology vendors. SIEMs correlate massive amounts of data from the sensor grid (your internal security solutions, mission-critical applications and IT infrastructure). As organizations are looking at ways to mine through SIEM data to find threats and breaches, they are bringing in threat intelligence feeds to help.
If applying IP allow lists to the cloud excites you as much Another One Bites the Dust on volume 11, read on. In this blog, I’ll discuss some considerations regarding operationalizing, automating, and increasing the efficacy of IP allow lists in your cloud infrastructure. Although this discussion will be in the context of cloud infrastructure providers such as AWS, GCP, and Azure, it should also be applicable to other cloud infrastructure and application environments.
A recent study by Sophos has added more fuel to the RDP fire, confirming that the exploitation of this service, when not adequately protected, remains one of the preferred techniques to compromise an organization. Not only has the exposure of RDP servers, driven by the pandemic, led to an exponential increase of brute-force attacks against this service, but it has also encouraged a flourishing market of initial access brokers.
DevSecOps follows the same trend as Agile and DevOps: how can developers create software that’s better, faster, and less expensive? The DevSecOps motto — “software, safer, sooner” adds the missing piece to the latest approach to quicker product development. Security, previously an afterthought in the product development lifecycle, is now becoming an integral part of the process.
Cloud programs like Slack and Google Drive allow businesses to work collaboratively and efficiently, often at a low cost. However, these cloud platforms open a business up to new levels of risk: sharing information via cloud programs can put customer data at risk. Cloud security architecture provides a way to recognize and remedy vulnerabilities that result from using cloud service providers (CSPs).
Many organizations recognize the emergent need to discover, classify, and protect their sensitive information stored in cloud applications (SaaS) and infrastructure (IaaS) via a dedicated cloud content inspection process. However, cloud-native detection engines are a relatively new technology, and many corporate Information Security teams or Product Security developers are, understandably, not yet familiar with how to effectively evaluate cloud content detection.
