Why security questionnaires are a familiar-but ineffective-norm for assessing risk

‍Security questionnaires are a standard part of almost every due diligence process before companies sign on to work with a new third party. ‍ By asking detailed questions via questionnaires, organizations learn about a seller’s security controls and compliance with relevant standards. With that information, they determine how and if a partnership with that third party will expand their attack surface and increase risk—and ultimately decide if the increased risk is acceptable.

What is Cyber Threat Detection and Response?

To compete in an era of dynamic, multimodal cyberattacks, cybersecurity programs must become multidimensional, capable of simultaneously contending with a wide range of cyber threats. In this post, we explain how your organization can develop such a multipronged approach with a branch of cybersecurity known as cybersecurity threat detection.

Web Application Security for DevOps: Anti-CSRF and Cookie SameSite Options

This is a continuation of our series on web application security. If you haven't already read through parts 1 and 2, this is a good time to go back. If not, let's move on and answer the question left hanging during our last installment: what are request methods, including the POST request method, and how does logging out of a website work when it comes to cookies and session IDs? Let's also tackle the more important issue of how to combat cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.

What is Enterprise Attack Surface Management?

The rapid expansion of the digital landscape adds increasing complexity to cybersecurity, especially for enterprises that could have up to 100,000 vendors in their supply chain.
