Working from home used to mean an unofficial day off, but it’s becoming an increasingly common way for people to – well, actually work. For these people, pitching up at a coffee shop is not unusual. Lots of people do it. They're no longer the reserve for would-be screenwriters. There are numerous benefits, such as easy access to overpriced coffees and the option to be sociable but with no obligation to actually be so.
With a colossal surge in cyber-attacks and high reliance on technology in this digital age, ensuring the security of data and information have become a daunting task. Cyber threats are accelerating significantly even faster than the enhancements businesses are making. Computer networks have become bigger and their interconnectivity using a Wide Area Network (WAN) is worldwide due to globalization.
Deploying an application on Kubernetes can require a number of related deployment artifacts or spec files: Deployment, Service, PVCs, ConfigMaps, Service Account — to name just a few. Managing all of these resources and relating them to deployed apps can be challenging, especially when it comes to tracking changes and updates to the deployed application (actual state) and its original source (authorized or desired state).
An organization can have innumerable VPN access attempts from within or outside its facility. In the world of globalization and cloud computing, even these attempts can be made from outside the country. Checking each attempt manually is a daunting task for enterprises as it consumes a lot of time and engages more security professionals. The basic VPN checks involve DNS Leaks, IP Address Leaks (e.g., IPv4 and IPv6), and WebRTC Leaks.
One of the biggest concerns of any cybersecurity analyst is whether or not they will be able to stop an attack before it can do any damage. That said, making sense of the flood of alerts is, in itself, a time-consuming task. As networks become more complex and malicious attacks become more advanced, it can become difficult to hit your incident response targets. With the right network security tools, however, your organization very quickly can detect, prioritize and remediate threats.
"Zero Trust" refers to a network security strategy that calls for all users – internal and external – to be authenticated before gaining access to the network. Zero Trust means organizations never implicitly trust anyone with their sensitive data. Instead of using a blanket network perimeter, Zero Trust networks implement a series of micro-perimeters around data so only users with clearance to access certain data points can get to them.
