In today’s digital landscape, where security breaches and data vulnerabilities are rampant, organizations must be equipped with robust measures to protect their valuable assets. One critical aspect of cybersecurity is managing certificates effectively throughout their lifecycle. But what exactly is Certificate Lifecycle Management? And how can it benefit your business?

As a healthcare administrator, you have an ever-growing list of things to contend with – from increased workplace violence, and the protection of expensive medical equipment and precious medical supplies, to the security of controlled medications, and the safety of a plethora of private and sensitive patient and employee data.

In our first post on using BAS in an operational technology (OT) environment, we provided an overview of a typical converged IT/OT network, the trends that were driving increased cyber risk for industrial asset owners, and a high-level discussion of how BAS can help provide better visibility and protection across the converged environment.

XDR (eXtended Detection and Response) is a leading integrated cybersecurity approach, which improves threat detection and response through integrating multiple data sources and cybersecurity tools and unifying multiple security products into a single operating system. XDR technology is growing increasingly popular. And it’s an opportunity for managed service providers (MSPs) to scale and grow their business.

Every five to ten years, major technology shifts change the way that vulnerability assessment and the related IT risk mitigation processes are approached or implemented. What has remained constant is the formula we use to measure risk and thus prioritize and triage vulnerabilities. Risk = (Likelihood of event) * (Impact of consequences) It’s an approach that intuitively makes sense, but there have been two challenges with how this formula has been applied.

Lately I’ve been confronted more and more with the notion of holding two opposing ideas at the same time, while being able to accept that they can both be true.
