The trends shaping the industry, and the challenges impacting implementation Meeting compliance requirements is essential to building a successful and trustworthy security program. However, it’s an area of cybersecurity too often overlooked, as it’s hardly the most glamorous field in the industry.

Environments like GitHub present data exposure risk in the form of secrets leakage and sensitive PII leaking from repositories. Read this online guide, for free, to learn about the problem of secrets exposure and leakage in GitHub, as well as how to easily implement secrets detection and scanning to prevent this risk.

In the business world, compliance means making sure that companies of all sizes are meeting the standards set by regulatory or oversight groups in various laws and standards, such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOX, and GDPR. Sometimes, an organization will self-impose its compliance by adhering to guidance and frameworks from organizations such as NIST, ISACA, ISO, and other advisory bodies.

My colleague, 1Password Senior Security Specialist (and all round stand-up guy) Chris Butler, and I recently chatted about a trend that’s emerged over the past few years: attempts to capitalize on cybersecurity incidents through self-promotion.

Rubrik allows customers to protect their workloads like VMs, Disks, and SQL instances running on Azure. We have customers who protect a large number of Azure subscriptions through our SaaS product. We offer features like File-Level Recovery to allow customers to make faster recoveries and Storage Tiering to save on storage costs associated with the backups. To support these features, we run compute in the customer’s environment to read the data from Azure Disk snapshots.

Personal data remains attractive for malicious actors and cybercriminals. As they evolve their methods for stealing and compromising such data, implementing sufficient data protection measures is especially vital for any organization. In some industries, protecting personal data is a must to comply with privacy laws and regulations. But even if your organization is not subject to a particular data privacy requirement, it’s highly recommended to secure the data of your customers and employees.

Ransomware attacks are on the rise. Many organizations have fallen victim to ransomware attacks. While there are different forms of ransomware, it typically involves the attacker breaching an organization’s network, encrypting a large amount of the organization’s files, which usually contain sensitive information, exfiltrating the encrypted files, and demanding a ransom.

Supply Chain attacks are not new, but this past year they received much more attention due to high profile vulnerabilities in popular dependencies. Generally, the focus has been on the dependency attack vector. This is when source code of a dependency or product is modified by a malicious actor in order to compromise anyone who uses it in their own software.
