Understanding SaaS Security: Risks and Best Practices

Software as a Service (SaaS) applications have become widespread and indispensable for businesses of all sizes, and for good reason. The convenience, flexibility, and scalability mean teams can access the essential tools and data from anywhere around the globe. This convenience and accessibility, however, does pose its own set of challenges when it comes to security risks.

Every Cybersecurity List Should Be a Risk-Ranked List

Cybersecurity is all about risk management and reduction. You cannot get rid of all risk. Well, I guess you could, but you (and everyone else) would probably not want to work in a true zero-risk environment. It would be too locked down, super slow, and incredibly inflexible. Cybersecurity is all about identifying the most likely and impactful risks and reducing them. To repeat, cybersecurity is about risk management. Identify the biggest risks and mitigate those the best you can. That is your job.

Taking the Pain Out Of Compliance for Legal and GRC Teams

The legal department plays a crucial role in enhancing enterprise security profiles. Historically, legal and cybersecurity departments have been siloed from one another in organizations both large and small. With security now a concern at the Board level, legal’s role in enterprise risk management – advising on threats and potential liability – must include the impact of data security threats.

What is Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management?

Cyber supply chain risk management (C-SCRM) is the process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating cybersecurity risks associated with an organization’s supply chain. Supply chains comprise multiple attack vectors, ranging from procurement tools to suppliers, developers, and third-party services. The complexity of this attack surface warrants a risk management strategy focused on supply chain risks as an extension to an existing third-party risk management program.

Risks and Mitigation of Malware: Strengthening Your Cybersecurity Posture

Malware risks and how to avoid them are important things for both people and businesses to think about. Threats to data accuracy, privacy, and financial security come from malware like viruses, ransomware, spyware, and trojans. Reports say that over 560,000 new pieces of malware are found every day around the world, showing that cybercriminals are always changing how they do things.

Beyond UEBA: Elevating Insider Risk Management with Behavioral Intelligence

Insider risk management is more critical than ever as human error and insider threats drive escalating security breaches. While many organizations have adopted User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) to monitor potential risks, relying solely on UEBA may fall short of the depth needed to stay ahead of these increasingly complex threats.

Why Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM) Increases Your Security Debt, and How You Can Fix It

In this Nucleus webinar, we take a deep dive into the practical challenges and strategies for managing security debt in the context of Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM). Scott Kuffer, co-founder of Nucleus Security and veteran in vulnerability management, explains how RBVM has shifted from a holistic risk reduction approach to a prioritization-heavy process that often falls short. He discusses why traditional methods lead to excessive security debt and demonstrates how aligning VM processes with product management principles can create more efficient, business-centric remediation.

Best Practices for Protecting Drone Data in Commercial Applications

Hey there, tech enthusiasts and masters of the skies! With the soaring ascent of drones in commercial applications, it's not just about nailing the perfect aerial shot anymore-it's also about locking down that precious data. Drones are busy bees, collecting loads of info that need protection just as much as any ground-based data trove.
