Abraham Lincoln is credited with saying that “A lawyer’s time and advice are his stock and trade.” Whether the quote is mis-attributed to Lincoln is irrelevant to the greater message, which is that attorneys are “knowledge workers.” To state it as bluntly as one attorney once explained to an executive where I worked, “My knowledge will keep you out of jail.” As a cybersecurity professional, you too are a knowledge worker.
Like technology itself, cybersecurity is ever-evolving and encompassing more areas of our lives, including transportation. Popular science fiction movies have led us to expect flying taxis and private space travel as the future of transportation. If that is going to become an eventual reality, the first steps towards that future are “smart cars” and automated vehicles. Electric vehicles are expected to account for 58% of global passenger vehicle sales by 2040.
In today’s threat landscape there is no escape from having a 360° view to protect crucial organization assets. The criticality of the matter is greatly amplified in these times where working remotely has become vastly common among Enterprises and SMBs alike. An ideal security solution would combine threat detection & response on cloud resources as well as on the endpoint level, providing extensive, real-time and impactful coverage customers desperately need.
No matter what sector your organization does business in, you’ve probably heard the term digital transformation. In every industry, digital transformation is going to be critical to remain competitive and resilient. But what does digital transformation mean? And how does cybersecurity fit in? Today’s organizations are facing an increasingly complex environment of securing everything attached to the network; applications, data, and endpoints.
A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. For a daily selection see our twitter feed at #ionCube24. Using external unauthorised web applications or storage systems leads to very bad data leakage. What if that data leakage could be nuclear weapons…..
ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer reviews firewall logs to capture network security threats. It generates alerts upon detecting security threats and attacks, and notifies you, the security administrator, in real time. You can configure alerts to be sent via email, SMS, and more. With these real-time notifications, you can troubleshoot to take instant remedial action. You can also make changes to your firewall policies and configurations to prevent recurring security incidents.
As per UK DCMS’s data breaches survey, about 32% of businesses in the UK have faced a form of cybersecurity threat between 2018 and 2019. As a result of these network security vulnerabilities, these businesses incurred costs on lost data and many other damages that totalled £4,180.
The exponential growth of IoT devices in the energy and utilities industry has greatly increased focus on cybersecurity. Focus on cybersecurity across industries has increased recently, no doubt due to factors like COVID-19 forcing a jump in remote work. In 2020, we saw cybersecurity move from being a technical problem to a business issue.
The Docker vs. Kubernetes debate is common in the containerization world. Although most people like comparing Kubernetes and Docker, the two technologies are not exchangeable—you cannot choose one over the other. They are essentially discrete technologies that can perfectly complement each other when creating, delivering, and scaling containerized applications. In fact, the best at par comparison would be Docker Swarm vs. Kubernetes, which we’ll talk about later.
