Imagine a future where office coffee machines autonomously order beans, and both comfort and energy efficiency are effortlessly managed through smart lighting and temperature controls, alongside smart factories leveraging robotic arms for optimal production. With the internet of things (IoT) market expected to reach 55.7 billion devices by 2025, as predicted by IDC, this potential future brings thrilling opportunities and serious challenges.

Netskope Threat Labs has observed an evasive Azorult campaign in the wild that employs multiple defense evasion techniques from delivery through execution to fly under the defender’s radar as it steals sensitive data. Azorult is an information stealer first discovered in 2016 that steals sensitive information including user credentials, browser information, and crypto wallet data.

In the fast-paced realm of digital connectivity, the effective management of internet bandwidth is pivotal for ensuring business continuity through seamless access to business-critical applications. Network administrators often grapple with the constant challenge of prioritizing business critical applications during network contention, a challenge exacerbated by the prevalence of high-bandwidth-consuming non-business web applications.

We have been fantasising about artificial intelligence for a long time. This obsession materialises in some cultural masterpieces, with movies or books such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Metropolis, Blade Runner, The Matrix, I, Robot, Westworld, and more. Most raise deep philosophical questions about human nature, but also explore the potential behaviours and ethics of artificial intelligence, usually through a rather pessimistic lens.

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the collaborative effort between the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) in issuing five joint Cybersecurity Information Sheets (CSIs) marks a significant milestone in guiding organizations towards secure cloud adoption. These documents serve as a testament to the critical nature of securing cloud services in an era where digital transformation is not just an option, but a necessity.

In today’s hybrid working environment, the software as a service (SaaS) apps employees use, and security service edge (SSE) solutions organizations use to secure it are dynamic and distributed. You sometimes need to deal with complex user experience issues without clear visibility into where they originate. Let’s take a look at some increasingly common situations and explore some proven ways IT leaders are regaining control.

Early in 2023 my colleague, and VP of Technology Integrations and Business Development, David Willis walked us through Realizing the True Power of Netskope Cloud Exchange. In the article, David painted the evolution of Cloud Exchange with a focus on how the Netskope Cloud Threat Exchange (CTE) module has matured since it was released.

The latest example of an advanced persistent threat exploiting a legitimate cloud service to deliver a malicious payload was recently unearthed by researchers at Trend Micro.

Today we are very excited to unveil Netskope One, which is our new name for the full range of market-leading Netskope capabilities that are contained in, and delivered by, a single platform. Netskope One enables security, infrastructure and operations (I&O) teams to reduce risk, cost, and complexity, protecting and accelerating everything to everywhere.

In today’s era of digital transformation, organizations are rapidly shifting towards a distributed and dynamic digital infrastructure. This new reality is characterized by hybrid workforces, software as a service (SaaS), and cloud hosting. While this transformation brings numerous benefits, it also introduces significant challenges for IT organizations, particularly in terms of maintaining visibility over user experience and performance management.
