In today’s increasingly complex and evolving threat landscape, Security Operations Centers (SOCs) have become the nerve center for protecting critical national and local government assets. Building and maintaining an in-house SOC is often beyond the reach of many government agencies due to budget constraints, the need for skilled personnel, and the rapid growth of cyber threats.

With the easy availability of tools and knowledge, cyberattacks of all sorts are running rampant, putting pressure on organizations to better defend themselves. Security is a continuous process that grows over time — exactly why organizations need to create a strong foundation. Two important questions every organization has asked themselves are: Where do we start, and have we done enough?

In this episode of Trust Issues, host David Puner welcomes back Lavi Lazarovitz, Vice President of Cyber Research at CyberArk Labs, for a discussion covering the latest developments in generative AI and the emerging cyberthreats associated with it. Lavi shares insights on how machine identities are becoming prime targets for threat actors and discusses the innovative research being conducted by CyberArk Labs to understand and mitigate these risks.

There are several use cases for a Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution, including secure remote access, credential management and least-privilege access enforcement. PAM helps organizations manage the access of authorized accounts to highly sensitive data, including IT departments, HR or staff who handle payroll systems. Continue reading to learn more about the different use cases for PAM and why you should choose KeeperPAM as your PAM solution.

Antivirus, malware protection, email security, EDR, XDR, next-generation firewalls, AI-enabled analytics – the list of protective controls and vendors appears to go on forever. Each day, bad actors discover new attack vectors that provide them with new roads to create chaos and destruction. News of data leaks, breaches and exposures has reached the point where it leaves most people numb and apathetic.

It wasn’t too many years ago that only large-scale organizations and enterprises were compelled to worry about cybersecurity. They were the primary targets for malicious actors, and so they seemed to be the only ones thinking about defense. But just like most things, that has completely changed. Small and medium-sized businesses are just as vulnerable to cyberattacks. Without the size and resources to bring security in-house, most turn to managed security service providers (MSSPs) for help.
