Mastering cloud app control, Part 1: Locking down access

When it comes to managing cloud application usage in an organization, the challenges are anything but simple. On one side, users are constantly exposed to malicious links and risky apps. On the other, locking things down too tightly by broadly blocking access to services can cripple employee productivity. Ideally, you'd want a balance between security and productivity.

HIPAA Security Rule updates: A proposed 15day patch mandate for critical vulnerabilities

Healthcare is facing a new urgency curve. Proposed updates to the HIPAA Security Rule for 2025 include a definitive patching clock: Remediate critical vulnerabilities within 15 calendar days of identifying the need—if a patch is available—or within 15 days of a patch becoming available. This means SecOps and ITOps teams managing clinical workstations, back-end servers, and multi-OS estates across hospitals and clinics might need to revise their patching cycles to stay compliant.

BYOD management for privacy-conscious healthcare providers

What's more convenient than having access to your work apps on your personal device? Especially in healthcare, where physicians can avoid juggling between multiple devices during care delivery and just stick to that one device for all needs—both professional and personal. This convenience is one of the reasons for increased adoption of mobile devices among healthcare organizations.

Unify and conquer: Introducing the seamless integration of HaloPSA with Endpoint Central MSP

In the competitive landscape of MSPs, efficiency is the ultimate currency. Juggling multiple platforms for endpoint management, ticketing, and billing creates operational friction, leading to delayed resolutions and increased costs. We are excited to announce a major step toward eliminating this complexity: the integration of HaloPSA with Endpoint Central MSP.

The Essential Eight: Australia's blueprint for cybersecurity

When the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) reports that a cyberattack hits an Australian organisation every six minutes, it's clear we need more than crossed fingers and hope to protect our digital assets. That's where the Essential Eight comes in—Australia's homegrown cybersecurity framework that's helping organisations across the country build stronger defences against increasingly sophisticated threats.

What is Network Time Protocol (NTP)? How DDI Central simplifies NTP Server configuration

In a world built on data, timing is everything. From financial transactions and secure communications to troubleshooting complex network issues, the precise order of events is not just important—it's fundamental. A discrepancy of a few milliseconds can be the difference between a successful database write and data corruption, or a valid security certificate and a connection failure.

The right to privacy should also apply to your online activity-no exceptions

Most of us already know we’re being tracked every time we go online—cookies this, permissions that. You’re basically forced to accept some level of tracking just to use the internet. The good news? There’s been plenty of pushback against what many rightly see as weak privacy safeguards—both from governments and the public. But for all the progress we’ve made, we’re still only scratching the surface. True online privacy is a long way off.

DDI Central + OpManager Plus: How admins can achieve unified visibility into their network resources

Network administrators today require a unified solution that consolidates network services, resources, and configurations onto a single platform for seamless management. One of the key needs is complete visibility into connected devices, leased IP addresses, and their status, utilization, and availability. With the ever-growing number of devices joining enterprise networks, manually tracking each device and its IP address is both time-consuming and inefficient.

Threat intelligence, DNS detection and response, and DNS firewall: The future-proof defense every network needs

When it comes to incident response, every network admin knows the drill—endpoints trip alarms, firewalls block traffic, SOC dashboards light up with alerts. But the real story almost always starts earlier—in DNS. Long before malware detonates or data leaves the building, an attack whispers its intent in a query. Newly registered domains, fast-flux campaigns, suspicious TXT lookups—in all of these actions, DNS is where adversaries test the waters.
