How to Implement a Zero Trust Strategy

The ways in which people work are changing, and so are the approaches needed to secure modern work. As organizations race to gain the benefits of cloud computing, relax rules around bring-your-own devices, and leverage hybrid-work models that require edge devices such as VPN gateways, the result is an expanding, disparate IT environment. And even worse, users are a part of the attack surface — one threat actors are all too ready and willing to exploit.

Translating Threat Intelligence into Boardroom Value

In fast-paced threat intelligence environments, day-to day focus is often on monitoring risks, responding to incidents, and staying ahead of evolving threats. In the middle of this operational intensity, structured board reporting can easily be overlooked. But as threat landscapes grow more complex and cyber risks gain board-level attention, the absence of clear, strategic reporting becomes a liability. Board reporting isn’t just a good practice, its a regulatory imperative.

DDoS Protection: Insurance Policy or Proactive Defense?

Historically, smaller organizations or those outside highly targeted industries for distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks have thought of DDoS protection more akin to an insurance policy than proactive cyber defense, i.e. we’ll put some reactive processes in place “in case we get hit,” but not much more.
