Legacy VPNs have become a significant security liability for businesses and governments. VPNs require inbound access to corporate networks, significantly broadening the attack surface for malware. This makes them prime targets for threat actors, increasing the risk of disruption to your business.

A web application firewall is a security software that observes and filters HTTP/HTTPS traffic between a web application and the internet. While this has been available for decades, with the evolution of the threat landscape, WAFs have also added additional capabilities to protect not only web apps but also APIs against a range of attacks, including DDoS and bot attacks. So, the category has evolved and is currently called Web Application and API Protection (WAAP).

Network security monitoring is the process of inspecting network traffic and IT infrastructure for signs of security issues. These signs can provide IT teams with valuable information about the organization’s cybersecurity posture. For example, security teams may notice unusual changes being made to access control policies. This may lead to unexpected traffic flows between on-premises systems and unrecognized web applications.

The digital transformation of industrial landscapes has brought unprecedented advancements in efficiency and productivity for Operational Technology (OT) companies. But this surge in connectivity exposes critical infrastructure to heightened cybersecurity risks, such as: To address these risks, OT companies should adhere to the guidelines in the European Union’s Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems (NIS2).

Many security vendors offer automated detection of cloud applications and services, classifying them into categories and exposing attributes such as security risk, compliance, company status etc. Users can then apply different security measures, including setting firewall, CASB and DLP policies, based on the apps categories and attributes. It makes sense to conclude that the more apps are classified, the merrier. However, such a conclusion must be taken with a grain of salt.

Multi-cloud environments create complex IT architectures that are hard to secure. Although cloud computing creates numerous advantages for companies, it also increases the risk of data breaches. Did you know that you can mitigate these risks with a CSPM? Rony Moshkovitch, Prevasio’s co-founder, discusses why modern organizations need to opt for a CSPM solution when migrating to the cloud and also offers three powerful tips to finding and implementing the right one.

When it comes to the evolving cybersecurity landscape of 2024, ransomware presents a unique challenge for professionals. Emerging threats underscore the need to revisit defense strategies and grasp the legal ramifications of successful ransomware attacks.

I bet many of you have experienced those frustrating moments on Zoom, Teams, or any other Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) platform like RingCentral. You know what I’m talking about—the dreaded video and audio glitches caused by a less-than-stellar internet connection, which are often completely out of your hands.
