Continuous security monitoring refers to an ongoing monitoring system that keeps a constant watch for security vulnerabilities, the state of your information security controls, and potential risks and threats to your information security. If you think too much about information security, it can seem insurmountable. At any given moment, there could be teams of hackers trying everything in their power to get access to your data.
Savvy organizations usually deploy some type of identity and access management (IAM) solution. IAM solutions leverage the principle of least privilege (POLP), role-based access control (RBAC), or other such mechanisms to manage access to data, applications, and IT infrastructure. However, every organization's structure and human resources capacity typically change over time as new employees are brought on board and existing ones quit.
Vanta’s mission is to secure the internet and protect consumer data. An important step to making this a reality is ensuring that every company can prove its own security to customers and prospects—creating a virtuous cycle where good security is good business. Today, we're thrilled to announce the next move in achieving our mission with Vanta's acquisition of Trustpage to reimagine the future of trust together.
Vulnerability scanning is the action of conducting an automated review of your system to look for potential risks and vulnerabilities. For budding information security professionals (or even those who have worked in the field for years), there is always something new to learn. Not only is it a highly intricate and advanced field but, on a daily basis, there is a cat-and-mouse game happening between security engineers and hackers.
A lack of compliance is increasingly becoming a major barrier for sales, forcing security directors to be more in tune with their organization’s revenue and growth goals than ever before. To help ease this pressure, companies are seeking to fulfill compliance requirements faster. In this article, we’re deep diving into the two most common security testing options that companies employ for their compliance initiatives: penetration testing and vulnerability scanning.
An access review describes the process of monitoring the rights and privileges of everyone who can interact with data and applications. This includes management of personnel, employees, vendors, service providers, and other third parties that your organization has been involved with. Also known as entitlement review, account attestation, or account recertification, access reviews are essential to the management, monitoring, and auditing of user account lifecycles.
