The main difference between Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) and Open Authorization (OAuth) lies in their roles: SAML focuses on authentication, while OAuth is dedicated to authorization. Despite their differences, both SAML and OAuth are necessary for improving your organization’s overall security, allowing authorized users to verify their identities and access appropriate resources.

Being a security analyst today is hard. You’re constantly trying to protect your organization while feeling like attackers are always a step ahead of you. Every year, you seem to add more security technologies to your stack, yet you still find yourself facing tooling gaps. If only you had the ability to clearly compare different products and their capabilities, you think.

Come for the cybersecurity insights, stay for the raclette! Black Alps 2024 packed in Swiss charm with technical talks, a hacker's raclette dinner, and conference-logo chocolates. A perfect mix of threats, treats, and networking.

Industry 4.0 is bringing technological and innovative advantages to the manufacturing industry. AI, IoT, and RPA, for example, are transforming and streamlining the design, production and distribution of products. But these advancements also bring new challenges for manufacturers. This blog post highlights four of the most prominent ones—based on real experiences from Cato’s manufacturing customers—and how SASE helps tackle them head-on.

At Tines, we’re proud to say we're partner-first. That means we collaborate closely with partners to deliver best-in-class workflow orchestration and automation, and empower customers to tackle their biggest security and IT challenges. In 2024, we took things a step further by introducing several new AI innovations - Automatic Mode, the AI Action, and Workbench - that enable us to power even more of the world’s most important workflows.

The adoption of cloud technology has transformed how organizations develop, deploy and oversee internal and customer-facing applications. Cloud workloads and services create efficiencies and introduce new access challenges. Multi-cloud environments—where organizations utilize services from multiple cloud solution providers (CSPs) like AWS, Google Cloud and Azure—offer exceptional flexibility and resilience but also present significant security challenges.

Alongside an explosion in the popularity of large language models (LLMs) across many industries, there has also been an increase in the level of trust granted to these models. Whereas LLMs were once perceived as simple, friendly chatbots that could respond to basic questions or pull useful resources from the web based on user input, many have now been granted the ability to perform actions, anywhere from sending an email to deploying code. This is referred to as agency.

As more organizations adopt hybrid and edge computing models, the need for robust, unified data protection solutions for Kubernetes clusters has grown. With CloudCasa, your Kubernetes deployments across hybrid environments—whether running on Azure Stack HCI or on-premises (many of them managed by Azure Arc)—are fully protected, ensuring that your data is safe and recoverable, no matter the scenario.

Following our previous release by less than a month, our November feature update (which we are not coincidentally releasing just before KubeCon NA 2024) is dedicated to providing enhanced support for KubeVirt and KubeVirt-based systems such as SUSE Harvester and Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization. KubeVirt is a Kubernetes extension that lets users natively run traditional Virtual Machine (VM) workloads alongside container workloads in their Kubernetes or OpenShift clusters.

It should be no surprise that the world runs on open source software. According to the latest Forrester Wave Software Composition Analysis Q4 2024 report an “astonishing 77% of codebases are comprised of open-source software.” Since a “considerable amount of an application’s risk is due to third-party sources,” software composition analysis (SCA) tools remain the lifeblood for securing modern applications and bringing greater transparency to the software supply chain.
