Passwords are the most common form of authentication, the classic “something you know.” They remain the most widely used method of securing accounts around the world. Research shows that about half of all applications still rely on passwords alone, and only about 12 percent of people use a unique password for every application. The problem is that humans can only remember five to seven passwords on average, yet most of us juggle seventy to one hundred online accounts.

Being compliant doesn’t mean you’re secure. Achieving and maintaining CMMC compliance may demonstrate conformance and look good on paper, but it does not guarantee protection. Too often, government contractors check the boxes, pass the audit, and assume their job is done and they’re protected. Then a real-world attack happens—and the so-called “protections” fall apart. The defenses that met the standard weren’t built to stop real threats.

In today’s cybersecurity landscape, one thing remains constant: humans are both our greatest asset and our biggest risk. Despite increasingly sophisticated technology, human risk, insider threats, and social engineering attacks like phishing,continue to lead the charge when it comes to successful breaches.

CloudCasa by Catalogic and SUSE have partnered to deliver a new disaster recovery solution for Kubernetes and SUSE Virtualization environments. This joint approach combines CloudCasa’s Kubernetes-native backup and recovery platform with SUSE Storage (a.k.a. Longhorn) and its Disaster Recovery Volumes feature. This provides a resilient, storage-driven DR strategy that reduces cost, complexity, and recovery times.

A single negligent click, command, or keystroke by a privileged user can let cybercriminals enter your network. This is where privileged session management (PSM) comes in. PSM enables you to monitor high-risk sessions and detect suspicious activity in real time, preventing insider and external threats from going unnoticed. In this article, we explain why PSM is critical in cybersecurity and how it can protect your sensitive data from threats.
