Over a decade ago, when cloud-delivered security services like secure web gateway (SWG) began emerging, the focus was mainly on protecting a small segment of the workforce—remote users plus contractors, suppliers, and partners. The challenge was ensuring these off-premises users had the same security protections as those on-site, especially when endpoint agents were insufficient, impractical, onerous, or prone to being disabled!

When it comes to file storage, it's not just a case of storing your files in the cloud and the job’s done. You have to take more steps to protect against data loss, corruption, accidental deletion, or ransomware. Whenever you store anything, it is essential to back up your files for complete reassurance that no matter what happens to your device, you will always have a backed-up version of your files that you can recover.

Cybersecurity teams are seeing a strong transition toward more open and collaborative intelligence sharing. This shift stems from the recognition that no one organization can fight the multitude of threats alone. But despite this progress, a critical gap remains in post-incident intelligence sharing.

A smooth and well-structured onboarding process can encourage strong security habits for your team. And the way you introduce 1Password sets the stage for how your entire organization will use it. Follow our tips and strategies to build an unbreakable foundation that’s baked right into your company’s overall security strategy.

It’s a concern for families everywhere: keeping kids safe online. For parents with teenagers, there’s the added complication of trying to balance a child’s safety with their right to privacy. But is online safety just families’ problem?

As ransomware becomes more pervasive, new data provides insight into how well organizations are responding and the attack vector being used most. We hear a lot about ransomware attacks, but I’m not seeing data about how well organizations fared, so I was glad to see GetApp’s 2024 Data Security report. According to the report, nearly half of U.S.

We are thrilled to announce that KnowBe4 has been named a leader in the latest G2 Grid Report that compares security awareness training (SAT) vendors based on user reviews, customer satisfaction, popularity and market presence. Have you ever wanted to peek behind the curtain of Security Awareness Training (SAT) platforms and see which one truly stands out? Well, you don't need to wonder anymore.

In today’s cybersecurity landscape, it’s not enough to guard against external threats. Employees have access to so much sensitive information and so many ways to share it that it’s easier than ever to leak data accidentally. These accidental data shares can jeopardize your organization’s compliance standing, expose your systems to threat actors, and cost you business. Everyone makes mistakes.

In today’s hyper-connected world, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to ensure your data is protected. With users accessing networks from multiple locations, data passing through unpredictable endpoints, and a rampant increase in cybercrime, establishing and maintaining data security best practices has never been more important. According to the Identity Theft Resource Center, there were 2,365 cyber attacks in 2023, a 72% increase over 2021.

Penetration testing tools are necessary for enterprises that want to protect their applications from real-world cyber attacks. These tools identify vulnerabilities that could lead to breaches, like the 2017 Equifax data breach. These specialized tools help identify gaps in software security posture by simulating real-world attacks that vulnerability assessments may not fully expose.
