Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

In a recent webinar, I chatted with Matt Woodruff, Worldwide Industry Lead for Security and Compliance at Jamf. Today, I'm going to share some extracts from our conversation. What we discussed: Integrating Tines’ orchestration and automation platform with Jamf’s comprehensive device management ensures proactive security and compliance, optimizing endpoint protection and operational efficiency across the organization.

The Turkish government is proposing a controversial new cybersecurity law that could make it a criminal act to report on data breaches. The new legislation proposes penalties for various cybersecurity-related offences. But they key one which has people concerned is this: The problem is, of course, that such a law may discourage the reporting of any potential data leaks.

The modern threat landscape is vastly different than it was just a few short years ago. The cloud is no longer a tool running alongside on-premises infrastructure. It’s now the backbone of modern organizations — nine in ten businesses see the cloud as “essential for growth,” according to a Deloitte study. It’s easy to see why, as cloud computing unlocks numerous efficiencies for small to mid-tier organizations looking to compete on a global scale.

One of the primary goals of information security is to protect data, which of course entails protecting the resources that store and provide access to that data. According to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, organizations need to develop and implement the necessary protections to restrict or mitigate the effect of a possible cybersecurity incident. Security should be integrated right from the source of the cloud architecture design process.

Splunk Asset and Risk Intelligence empowers organizations to identify and address vulnerabilities in their security posture proactively. By leveraging key compliance framework controls and providing customizable dashboards and metrics, ARI offers clear visibility into assets missing critical security controls. This allows organizations to proactively close gaps in security controls, regardless of the regulatory frameworks they must comply with.

Much has been written about how AI, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), will transform cybersecurity. Some say it'll be for the worse, and some say it'll be for the better. Although SURGe firmly believes that AI will end up helping defenders much more than it helps threat actors, it's sometimes hard to envision the exact form in which this help will, or should, come.
