NFS vs SMB - What's the Difference

When it comes to sharing files and resources over a network, two popular protocols that often come to mind are NFS (Network File System) and SMB (Server Message Block). Both protocols have their own strengths and weaknesses, and choosing the right one for your needs can make a big difference in terms of performance, security, and ease of use.

How threat intelligence can improve vulnerability management outcomes

It might surprise you to know that more than 70 new vulnerabilities are published every day. And despite their risk-reducing value in helping SOC teams address these, vulnerability management solutions have drawbacks. Often, they only provide a snapshot of an organization’s vulnerabilities at a point in time. In fact, owing to their nature, vulnerabilities identified today may not exist tomorrow, or they may appear and disappear intermittently.
