Automatic Zero Trust protection. Bulk labeling of files. Easy-to-use tools. Here’s 3 ways to secure external collaboration without impeding workflows. Just as one broken link can disrupt a physical supply chain, it only takes one security gap to infect a digital supply chain. Digital supply chains are as vital to modern workflows as they are fallible to attack. From infected software to accidental third-party leaks, one single vendor can bring down the whole supply chain.

Digital supply chain attacks are happening more often, inflicting widespread damage and threatening your future operations. Here’s one simple solution. How would you know if your digital supply chain is under attack? From aerospace and defense projects to engineering and infrastructure programs, modern manufacturing processes rely on digital supply chains. These interconnected cloud highways streamline production workflows and improve efficiency across the supply chain.

Third-party incidents, critical infrastructure threats and regulatory fines for cyber attacks have all risen in 2024. Here’s how to avoid them in 2025. With over one billion records exposed and over $1 billion in regulatory fines issued, 2024 was a record-breaking year for data breaches - in more ways than one.

From external collaboration and compliance to key financial info and intellectual property, here are five areas that need Zero Trust as a priority. In mid 2024, Gartner research found that 63% of global organizations had fully or partially-implemented a Zero Trust strategy, but these strategies only covered a small portion of the organization’s environment and that many enterprises were still “not sure what the top practices are for Zero Trust implementations.”

CMMC assessments began on 16 December. If you handle CUI, here’s 3 things you need to know for CMMC The CMMC final rule change is now live. On 16 December, certified third-party assessment organizations (C3PAOs) officially began assessing DoD contractors. Given the wide disparity between the number of assessment teams (~100) and members of the Defense Industrial Base looking for certification (~100,000), DoD contractors need to ensure they are assessment-ready asap.

With the final CMMC rule published, here’s a summary of everything you need to know for your CMMC Level and when. Another step closer. After more than seven years in the making, the US Department of Defense (DoD) finalized a rule establishing the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program and outlining how it will work. The final program rule was published in the Federal Register on 15 October and will go into effect on 16 December.

From power grids and water systems to transport networks and healthcare facilities, critical infrastructure has become a key target for cyber attacks in recent years, such as US utilities suffering a 70% year-on-year increase in cyber attacks this year. The reason for targeting critical infrastructure is clear: they often use outdated software and the attacks have an outsized disruptive impact.

Nowadays, the digital supply chain is both essential and vulnerable. According to Pinsent Masons annual cyber report, supply chain breaches were the most common form of cyber incident in 2023 occuring in one third of cases (up from 5% in 2022). Meanwhile, Gartner predicts that almost half (45%) of global organizations will suffer a digital supply chain attack by 2025. Nowadays, the digital supply chain is both essential and vulnerable.

Zero Trust is no longer a nice-to-have - it’s a must-have. According to Cisco, over 86% of enterprise organizations have started rolling out a Zero Trust framework to protect their business-critical information and ensure regulatory compliance, but only 2% have successfully implemented a mature ZT architecture. Zero Trust is no longer a nice-to-have - it’s a must-have.

There’s no ‘good’ time for a data breach, but accidentally leaking sensitive information during closed periods leads to heavier financial and reputational costs than at other parts of the year. As SAP holds public companies' most sensitive financial and HR data, executives must guarantee the security of thousands of SAP downloads or face non-compliance fines and legal repercussions.
