The SOC is changing. And to keep cybercriminals from wreaking havoc, security teams must mature their security operations to derive more value from the systems, tools, and data at their disposal. To do so, organizations are increasingly automating more SOC tasks and have long-term plans to build autonomous SOCs to augment their security analysts.

While we have all used digital security certificates like SSL/TLS, code signing certificates, or others, many don’t know the security technology behind them. Stringent security standards ensure that the cyber threats looming around us never get to our digital systems. Due to such threats, there’s a constant advancement happening in data security technology to protect sensitive information. Encryption and Signing are two methods used widely for data security.

There’s no denying that multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an essential security measure that significantly improves an organization’s cyber posture. However, there is no silver bullet in cybersecurity. Though multi-factor authentication proves extremely helpful, determined and resourceful cybercriminals can still find techniques to bypass it. Let’s look at some frequently-used methods cyber-attackers leverage to bypass MFA.

In a market projected to grow to $288.30 billion by 2030, data centers will expand to facilitate more data-driven workloads, including AI and big data. Much of this expansion continues to occur in the cloud, as companies seek to reap the benefits of low-cost infrastructure that they can spin up as needed. In fact, research shows that cloud workloads represented 94% of all data center workloads worldwide in 2021.

Cyber insurance is a specialized insurance policy that was created to protect businesses from the losses that can occur as a result of cyber attacks. The size of your business does not matter when it comes to needing cyber insurance, and it shouldn’t be your only priority when it comes to your business’s cybersecurity. Read on to learn more about cyber insurance coverage and its cost.

When you’re facing a cyberattack, waiting even just minutes to respond could be the difference between business as usual and a calamity. It may only take that long for threat actors to exfiltrate sensitive data or disrupt critical systems. That’s one reason why automating remediation is an essential ingredient in an effective cybersecurity strategy.

November has turned cold in much of the Northern Hemisphere, and there was plenty of cold comfort to go around in the world of cybersecurity. Our latest round-up looks at a massive company that can’t stop getting breached, another one scrambling to correct an unforced error, a worst-case scenario for the blending of church and state, and a depressing report on just how much money ransomware gangs are pulling in. Let’s get ready for a dip into the chilly waters of cybercrime.

Multiple reports show that people don’t take the necessity to pick secure passwords for their login credentials and personal devices seriously enough. According to Verizon’s 2022 Data Breach Investigations Report, 80% of incidents resulting from hacking attacks involved weak and compromised passwords. These findings make us wonder whether confirming a user’s identity just once at login is enough. Should this be a repeated procedure?

It’s no surprise that industrial environments have become increasingly valuable targets for malicious behavior. The State of Security has featured many cybersecurity events across myriad industrial verticals, including but not limited to chemical manufacturing, transportation, power generation and petrochemical. Several of these industries have taken great strides in improving their defense posture, but this was primarily driven as a result of governmental regulatory compliance requirements.
