The Role of Proxies in Enhancing Online Security and Privacy

Considering the interconnectivity of the world, online security and privacy have become paramount. As a result, individuals and businesses take their cyber hygiene seriously. Using web proxies is one way they employ to improve their online safety. However, not all proxies are the same. Paid proxies have advantages over free proxies. In this article, we cover the features of proxies, how paid proxies improve on free proxies, and suitable use cases of proxies.

Taming Network Complexity with Digital Twins

Digital twins are often associated with manufacturing, where a virtual replica mimics the workings of a complex physical system, such as a jet engine or a machine on a production line. But increasingly, there is interest from enterprises, telecom companies, and cloud providers in applying the technology to networks.

The 7 Best Wi-Fi Routers for Speed, Performance, and Security

99% of the time, whenever we are in some place new, one of the first things we ask is “What’s the Wi-Fi code?” As Wi-Fi has become such an integral part of our lives, we need to rely on a stable internet connection for work, study, or pleasure. A strong, reliable internet source is often found via the wifi router. However, you can still get the best out of your connection by changing to any of the best WiFi routers.

Whistleblowers of a Fake SASE are IT's Best Friends

History taught us that whistleblowers can expose the darkest secrets and wrongdoing of global enterprises, governments and public services; even prime ministers and presidents. Whistleblowers usually have a deep sense of justice and responsibility that drives them to favor the good of the many over their own. Often, their contribution is really appreciated only in hindsight.

How to Perform a Network Security Risk Assessment in 6 Steps

For your organization to implement robust security policies, it must have clear information on the security risks it is exposed to. An effective IT security plan must take the organization’s unique set of systems and technologies into account. This helps security professionals decide where to deploy limited resources for improving security processes. Cybersecurity risk assessments provide clear, actionable data about the quality and success of the organization’s current security measures.

3 Things CISOs Can Immediately Do with Cato

Wherever you are in your SASE or SSE journey, it can be helpful knowing what other CISOs are doing once they’ve implemented these platforms. Getting started with enhanced security is a lot easier than you might think. With Cato’s security services being delivered from a scalable cloud-native architecture at multiple global points of presence, the value is immediate. In this blog post, we bring the top three things you, as a CISO, can do with Cato.

The Road Ahead: What Awaits in the Era of AI-Powered Cyberthreats?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly infiltrating the business world and our daily lives. While revolutionizing how – and how efficiently – work gets done, it also introduces a new set of cybersecurity challenges. In response to the evolving, AI-shaped threat landscape, I foresee organizations adopting robust countermeasures.

Application Monitoring with a Web Application Firewall (WAF) for Network Security

Nearly every business today uses some Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application. From streamlined productivity to team communication, web applications drive business revenue outcomes. Simultaneously, these applications expand your company’s attack surface since every connection creates new access points that threat actors can use to compromise systems and networks.

Machine Learning in Action - An In-Depth Look at Identifying Operating Systems Through a TCP/IP Based Model

In the previous post, we’ve discussed how passive OS identification can be done based on different network protocols. We’ve also used the OSI model to categorize the different indicators and prioritize them based on reliability and granularity. In this post, we will focus on the network and transport layers and introduce a machine learning OS identification model based on TCP/IP header values.
