Ransomware has gone global. While 2022 saw a reprieve in the sheer number of ransomware attacks (the attack rate dropped at the same time as the war between Russia and Ukraine began), it also saw the rise of ransomware-as-a-service, the proliferation of attacks of major organizations, and attacks that stretched across time zones and borders. In 2022, nine of our top 20 breaches involved ransomware (45%), affecting millions of individuals and their private data. That is up 15% over 2021.

As your business grows and your services scale in number and complexity, it’s difficult to maintain a rapid pace of innovation while keeping your applications secure. It’s particularly challenging to respond to attacks, as DevOps and security teams need to collaborate to understand each attack’s root cause and remediate the vulnerabilities that enabled it.

Several web applications have been booming in recent years, as every organization prefers it for business due to its easy maintenance and advanced features. And it’s evident that when a firm uses any application, it processes confidential data. Whenever data comes into play, cyber-attacks and security aspects accompany it. And same is the case with web applications. Like other software, application security is also crucial for web applications.

Social media managers play a pivotal part in enabling brands to raise awareness and connect with customers online. In that role, they sift through irrelevant and sometimes offensive content to provide prompt support and accurate information on popular platforms like Tik Tok, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook. Social media is a common entry point for cybercriminals looking to get inside an organization.

Every IT environment – whether it’s on-prem or in the cloud, and regardless of how it’s designed or what runs in it – is made up of endpoints. That’s why Endpoint Detection and Response, or EDR, has typically been one of the pillars of cybersecurity. EDR helps businesses monitor each of their endpoints for security risks so that they can detect problems before they escalate to other endpoints.
