Trust is the cornerstone of any successful relationship. As a security company, we take special care to build and maintain the trust of our customers and partners. That’s why we’ve launched our new Customer Trust Center: to make securing your trust easier than ever. Here’s a look at some of the key features and benefits it offers.

When it comes to managing your cloud infrastructure, picking the right platform can make a big difference in how smooth, scalable, and cost-effective your operations are. Two of the top contenders in this space are OpenStack and VMware. Both offer powerful tools for handling virtualized environments, but they suit different needs and preferences. Knowing the key differences between them is essential to help you make the best choice for your organization’s goals and technical needs.

NIST has long been an important acronym in the world of cybersecurity, where organizations have for years used the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to help guide their security investments. But the practices and controls associated with NIST have evolved recently, due to the release of NIST 2.0. If you’re stuck in the era of NIST 1.x, it’s time to adapt.

It has been only one year and nine months since OpenAI made ChatGPT available to the public, and it has already had a massive impact on our lives. While AI will undoubtedly reshape our world, the exact nature of this revolution is still unfolding. With little to no experience, security administrators can use ChatGPT to rapidly create Powershell scripts. Tools like Grammarly or Jarvis can turn average writers into confident editors.

Recently, we had a customer reach out to ask if disabling clickable uniform resource locator (URL) links in emails was enough protection by itself to potentially not need employee security awareness training and simulated phishing. We can understand why this misperception might exist. Many anti-phishing educational lessons discuss the need for people to evaluate all URL links before clicking on them.

Is there one cybersecurity tool to rule them all? For most companies, the answer is probably yes. A cybersecurity platform combines multiple security capabilities — endpoint security, threat response, event logging, and more—into a single system. There are Swiss Army knife cybersecurity platforms that perform a range of tasks, like extended detection and response (XDR), and platforms with more niche functions.

Imagine you have a backpack with a granola bar buried at the bottom and a tenacious tiny dog who loves snacks. Even though the dog shouldn’t be able to reach that granola bar stored away carefully, it managed to open a zipper and snoop through the contents to eat the snack. From an IT environment standpoint, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are the backpack carrying sensitive – but appealing to attackers – data.

Developers and cybersecurity have an interesting relationship. Developers have no problem with security operations just as long as they’re not involved or adding security doesn’t slow down their development cycle. Thankfully, well-documented security operations — known as DevSecOps — assist with the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and perform mostly invisibly from the developer’s perspective.

In the previous blog we covered how to use PGP keys for encrypting and decrypting emails on desktop clients like Thunderbird and Outlook. Now, let's take a look on securing your emails without too much hassle using OpenPGP on webmail services like Gmail using the Mailvelope extension for Google Chrome.
