What is Single Sign-On: The Benefits and Importance of Implementing SSO
Every day, more people get online - most do it for leisure, but organizations are increasingly moving into the digital environment. The increasing number of these new end-point users makes it clear that the cyber world must evolve. No longer can experts argue for unique platform passwords when password fatigue is prominent, nor can cybersecurity defenders protect all the various attack junctures across multiple platforms and tools.
Early Lessons from the Sisense Breach
Business intelligence company Sisense has seen secrets compromised in its GitLab repositories, leading to a siphoning of its customers' sensitive data.
ITRC's 2023 Data Breach Report Is a Mixed Bag
In the first quarter of every year, organizations around the world release reports summing up data breach trends from the previous twelve months. And every year, these reports say broadly the same thing: data breach numbers have gone up again. This year is no different. Or is it?

The Future of Cybersecurity: Leveraging Breach and Attack Simulation for Proactive Defense
The digital landscape is no longer a frontier; it's a full-fledged battlefield. As organizations become increasingly reliant on interconnected technologies, their attack surface expands exponentially. Firewalls and antivirus software, the traditional defense lines, are akin to medieval fortifications in the face of modern artillery. To survive in this ever-evolving warzone, organizations need a proactive approach, a way to anticipate and counter threats before they inflict damage. Enter Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS), a transformative tool poised to revolutionize the future of cybersecurity.
Personal vs Sensitive Personal Information (SPI): What's the Difference
What is there to know about a person? Certainly, their name, but how about their affiliations, philosophical beliefs, or sexual orientation? The nuanced information about a person—including those elements listed above and more—falls into a data category called “personal information” or “personally identifying information” (PII).
What Is An On-Path Attack and How Does It Work?
Suppose someone left their home, got in their car, and drove to the grocery store. Much like data packets that travel over Internet highways, the car will use various pathways to reach its destination; however, once the car gets to the store, a question remains: what happened between the generating point and the destination? If nothing happened, the driver (our data) traveled safely and without incident.
