As cyber threats continue expanding, endpoints have become ground zero in the fight to protect corporate resources. Advanced cyber threats pose a serious risk, so protecting corporate endpoints and data should be a high priority. Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPPs) are the first line of defense against endpoint cyber-attacks. It provides malware protection, zero-day protection, and device and application control. Additionally, EPPs serve a valuable role in meeting regulatory compliance mandates.

As organizations shift their applications and operations to the cloud and increasingly drive revenues through software, cloud-native applications and APIs have emerged among the greatest areas of modern security risk.

Open-source software is becoming a top choice for professionals. From completing internal tasks to supporting public-facing servers, you can see open-source applications everywhere.

Staying ahead of evolving threats is crucial for organizations in all industries. Threat intelligence platforms ( TIPs) play a pivotal role in this endeavor, providing a centralized hub for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating threat intelligence. Introducing the ThreatQ Platform, purpose-built for threat detection and response.

Teleport is an open source company. We develop in the open, including full disclosure of security issues in our changelogs and pull requests. We share our penetration tests and key compliance reports. Despite this, our communication to open source users and integration with automated security tooling needed improvement. We needed a standardized way to refer to our vulnerabilities so that when two people (or systems) talk about a vulnerability, they know they’re talking about the same thing.

Organizations separate access to specific data and administrative capabilities into different types of privileged accounts in order to securely run their operations. Some types of privileged accounts include domain administrator (admin) accounts, local admin accounts, privileged user accounts and emergency accounts. If not properly managed or secured, cybercriminals can gain unauthorized access to these privileged accounts and steal an organization’s sensitive data.

Malware attacks continue to be the order of the day for businesses. The adaptability of threats and the fact that new attack models spread almost daily mean they are still very much a concern among cybersecurity professionals.
