The digital age has transformed industries, but with it comes a complex web of regulations designed to protect consumers and businesses. From financial services to healthcare, organizations grapple with a growing list of compliance mandates. Failure to adhere to these rules can result in hefty fines and even legal repercussions. Simultaneously, the dark web has emerged as a secret marketplace for stolen data, posing significant risks to businesses navigating complex regulatory environments.

Containerization is now an important tool for businesses that want to make their apps scalable and efficient. A lot of people use Kubernetes because it can easily manage containers in many different environments. It is the best open-source platform for handling containerized workloads and services. But Kubernetes systems can be hard to manage and keep an eye on because they are spread out and have changing workloads.

The rise of hybrid and remote work has created unprecedented opportunities for forward-thinking organizations and their employees. At the same time, it has also created unprecedented opportunities for threat actors. The ability to access sensitive files from almost any machine, while convenient, can be a profound security risk. That’s why it’s worth considering a few real-world ZTNA use cases.

Unfortunately, once your information has been put on the dark web, you cannot remove it. Despite this, you can still protect your personal information and identity by changing your passwords, enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and monitoring your online accounts for suspicious activity. Continue reading to learn how to tell if your information is on the dark web and what you can do to protect yourself if it is.

There’s no way around it: vulnerability management is complex. As organizations become more reliant on software and applications, the sheer volume of known vulnerabilities has become more difficult to track, prioritize, and remediate. Adversaries have also become increasingly reliant on exploiting vulnerabilities in order to compromise organizations.

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 has passed through the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs and is now on its way to Congress, set to become law by Q4 2024. With the CMMC becoming official law, its full implementation in defense contracts will occur through a phased approach over three years starting in 2025.

In today’s digital age, where work from anywhere and hybrid cloud adoption are the norm, traditional network security perimeters have crumbled. IT organizations are using hybrid cloud strategies to combine the scalable, cost-effective public cloud with the secure, compliant private cloud. However, on the user side, enterprises are grappling with the limitations of VPNs, which were once the go-to solution for secure remote access.

Modern businesses are increasingly reliant on APIs. They are the building blocks facilitating data exchange and communication between disparate systems. Because of their prevalence and importance, they are also under attack by actors exploiting vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. Unauthorized access, data exposure, injection attacks, broken authentication, DoS attacks, shadow or unmanaged APIs, insecure API dependencies, and more present a real risk to APIs and the organizations that use them.

Network security is no longer a luxury but a necessity in the world that is going digital, and Network based Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) have become one of the major parts of securing your system. NIDS is like a loyal watchdog that keeps looking into the traffic across the network. But what are the cybersecurity basics behind network intrusion detection? At its core, you need to understand that Network-based Intrusion Detection Systems monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic in real time.

ADUC is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in that enables administrators to manage Active Directory objects and their attributes. For example, they can: You can find more information about Active Directory in our AD tutorial for beginners. Majorly, Active Directory domain controllers will have ADUC installed by default in Windows. However,in some instances it may not be present, which would require you to opt for different ways you may add them in your current version of windows.
