In today’s hyper-connected world, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to ensure your data is protected. With users accessing networks from multiple locations, data passing through unpredictable endpoints, and a rampant increase in cybercrime, establishing and maintaining data security best practices has never been more important. According to the Identity Theft Resource Center, there were 2,365 cyber attacks in 2023, a 72% increase over 2021.

Penetration testing tools are necessary for enterprises that want to protect their applications from real-world cyber attacks. These tools identify vulnerabilities that could lead to breaches, like the 2017 Equifax data breach. These specialized tools help identify gaps in software security posture by simulating real-world attacks that vulnerability assessments may not fully expose.

In today’s threat landscape, security teams face mounting challenges in maintaining a robust security posture. Legacy tools often fall short of defending against increasingly sophisticated adversaries, especially with the complexity of modern, multi-cloud environments. Corelight’s latest integration with the SentinelOne Singularity Platform brings a fresh approach to overcoming these challenges, unifying network and endpoint visibility while simplifying and accelerating threat investigations.

Security used to be simpler. Employees, servers and applications were on site. IT admins were the only privileged identities you had to secure, and a strong security perimeter helped to keep all the bad guys out. Times have changed. Attackers targeting identities is not new. What’s different is the dramatic increase in the quantities and types of identities, attacks and environments.

Having a market share of 8.81 % and competing with other version control platforms, like GitHub, Bitbucket, and GitLab, Azure DevOps can already boast of more than 700M Azure users. That’s not surprising, as the service offers a variety of things from planning to development and operations. Thus, containing critical DevOps information, Azure DevOps becomes a critical hub of your data. So, in this case, is the question “Why back up Azure DevOps” the correct one?

APIs are built expressly to share a company’s most valuable data and services. This makes them a lucrative target for bad actors. We’ve already hit the tipping point — APIs are now THE way in. Salt Security’s 2024 State of API Security Report revealed that the count of APIs is increasing, having gone up by 167% in the past year. 95% of respondents have experienced security problems in production APIs, with 23% having experienced a breach.

‍A cybersecurity risk assessment, or cyber risk assessment, is a standardized process that organizations have established along with their implementation of cloud-based technologies to discover the accompanying vulnerabilities and threats. These assessments leverage the available, relevant data to identify the likelihood of various cybersecurity events occurring along with the potential impact should they come to fruition.
