The Relational Database Service (RDS) service offered by AWS is one of the most popular databases today. A lot of critical, confidential data resides inside of RDS. Hence it becomes imperative to protect this data from various threats and ensure that the data is secure. Our approach to protecting the data inside RDS is based on two aspects: Rubrik already supports a modern approach to safeguarding RDS data from an operational perspective and also maintains a clean, secure copy in a different region.

The sharing economy is a comparatively recent economic idea, yet it is fast increasing. It’s predicted to reach $335 billion by 2025. eBay was the first widely known sharing economy platform with online P2P buying and selling.

A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. For a daily selection see our twitter feed at #ionCube24. Really? Are we really still having to tell people to set passwords at the very least for something publicly accessible? Looks like it. Oh dear.

Due to the rapid increase in off-premises devices, endpoints have become more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. The evolution of endpoint devices requires similar paced evolution in the security solutions to ensure that attackers do not exploit them.

We all know that cybersecurity is an application of technologies that protect systems, networking programs, devices, and data from cyber-attacks. There are many cases of fraud reported every year. People who are using different networks want to keep themselves safe from online crime. In order to achieve this security, there is no need to heavily invest and hire computer experts; you can achieve it through cybersecurity.

Security threats evolve just as fast as the technologies used to stop them. New and modified attack strategies are constantly in the works. To make matters worse, the attack surface within corporate networks is expanding. The push to work from home increased vulnerable points of entry by introducing multitudes of new endpoint devices. The move to cloud-based services and infrastructure has further resulted in a broader and more challenging landscape to defend.

On August 15, the Clop ransomware group announced on their leak website the breach of South Staffordshire Water, a privately owned UK water supply company.
