Many organizations use virtual private networks (VPNs) to extend secure access to remote employees. A VPN creates a secure connection between two networks over the public internet, creating a level of online privacy for remote workers. A VPN internet connection will route your web traffic through an encrypted tunnel (even when using public wi-fi), protecting business sensitive data from interception. VPNs require authentication, which can help maintain your network security.

Cloud-native organizations need an efficient and automated way to identify the security risks across their cloud infrastructure. Sergei Shevchenko, Prevasio’s Co-Founder & CTO breaks down the essence of a CSPM and explains how CSPM platforms enable organizations to improve their cloud security posture and prevent future attacks on their cloud workloads and applications.

What is the biggest cybersecurity challenge facing companies worldwide? The answer may vary depending on who you ask, but one indisputable fact remains clear: “What you can’t see, can and will hurt you.” Cyber threats lurk in the depths of the digital world, constantly evolving, poised to strike unsuspecting victims. They often strike by compromising unseen connected devices which, experience has proven, represent up to 50% of all devices on a network.*

On February 15, the US Department of Justice announced “Operation Dying Ember”: the takedown of a botnet controlled by APT28, the Russian military cyber threat actor also known as Fancy Bear. APT28 was previously known for developing the VPNFilter botnet, which targeted routers and network attached storage devices and was also disrupted by the DoJ in 2018.

More than just introducing XDR today, Cato announced the first XDR solution to be built on a SASE platform. Tapping the power of the platform dramatically improves XDR’s quality of insight and the ease of incident response, leading to faster incident remediation. “The Cato platform gives us peace of mind,” says Shayne Green, an early adopter of Cato XDR and Head of security operations at CloudFactory.

Organizations transitioning to the cloud require robust security concepts to protect their most critical assets, including business applications and sensitive data. Rony Moshkovitch, Prevasio’s co-founder, explains these concepts and why reinforcing a DevSecOps culture would help organizations strike the right balance between security and agility. In the post-COVID era, enterprise cloud adoption has grown rapidly.

The cyberthreat landscape is ever-evolving and the level of sophistication from cybercriminals is always increasing. Networks are not impenetrable. Alarmingly, 79 minutes is now the average time from when an attacker compromises a network to when they start to move laterally, infiltrating the rest of the network.
