Your Ultimate Social Media Security Checklist [2022 Updated]

Social media is both a boon and a bane. While it has connected billions of people, made them more accessible, and created more possibilities for the end-users. There's no doubt that it has also made them more susceptible to security threats and vulnerabilities. According to We Are Social, there are around 4.62 billion active social media users worldwide. This is precisely the very reason why cyber criminals love social media as well.

Remote Users - Protect Confidential Information

Greater care should be taken when transferring corporate data onto a remote user's managed endpoint. Certain types of data often require greater levels of authorization to leave the confines of the organization and managed app. When trying to download confidential information, we want to reverify the user's identity with step-up authentication. When the file is downloaded, in addition to file encryption, we also want to add a watermark and redact the confidential information.

Kubernetes API Access Security Hardening.

In a Kubernetes cluster, Control Plane controls Nodes, Nodes control Pods, Pods control containers, and containers control applications. But what controls the Control Plane? Kubernetes exposes APIs that let you configure the entire Kubernetes cluster management lifecycle. Thus, securing access to the Kubernetes API is one of the most security-sensitive aspects to consider when considering Kubernetes security.

Remote Users - Protection from Internet-Based Threats

When working remotely, users are susceptible to Internet-based threats like phishing and malware. With the Lookout Security Service Edge (SSE) platform, organizations can prevent the loss of personal information and the installation of malware by assessing each link a user tries to access, regardless of what doc or app contains the link.

Remote Users - Protect Data within Managed Apps

Organizations need to maintain security controls on corporate data regardless of where the users work location. When uploading content to a cloud storage provider, the Lookout SSE platform can help direct users to use corporate providers instead of personal. And when data is downloaded locally, the Lookout platform can protect the data outside of the managed app through encryption.

The role of AI in Cyber Security

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more and more prevalent in society, it is also making its way into the world of cyber security. AI can be used in a number of ways to help improve cyber security, including by automatically detecting and responding to threats, improving network efficiency, and helping to identify vulnerabilities. In this blog post, we will discuss some of the ways that AI is changing cyber security and how it can help your business stay safe online.

Microsoft Discovers Security Flaws In Pre-installed Android Apps

Four high-severity vulnerabilities have been exposed to the framework used by pre-installed Android system apps with millions of downloads. Fixed by Israeli developer MCE Systems, this issue could allow an attacker to launch remote and local attacks or be used as a vector to exploit extensive system privileges to obtain sensitive information. Here’s what Microsoft 365 Defender Research Team had to say about it.

Democratizing Data Using a DataFabric & How it Benefits IT Enterprises

However, the promise of the data-driven business falls short due to gaps in data management. These gaps exist because data in the modern enterprise doesn’t exist only behind firewalls and within organizational premises.
