Why end-to-end visibility is critical to secure your apps in a serverless world

One of the universal truths in technology is that security always lags behind innovation. Companies must move quickly as they seek to innovate, increase efficiencies and be disruptive in ever-crowded markets. Living on the bleeding edge means you will get a few cuts, but the risk of not adopting new technologies is greater than those of a few system failures or breaches. One challenge is that it is often not apparent what new risks exist until boundaries are pushed.

The Modern CISO Role Needs to Evolve. Here's Why.

The role of information security in modern enterprises is evolving like never before. Security will need to improve third-party oversight as organizations increasingly depend on outsourcing models for scale flexibility, efficiency, and cost savings. It will also need to do a better job of balancing security requirements (e.g., regulatory compliance, risk management) against business objectives (e.g., user experience, network performance, reducing costs).

Spotlight on Technology - Governance, Risk & Compliance

Today we are talking all things GRC with Megan Brown at LogicGate, including why it's essential to have a robust GRC tool in a modern security stack. GRC is extremely useful for compliance framework management and maintaining compliance - it can be used effectively to supply a historical database of known risks, issues and security measures that can be used to continuously improve security intelligence. Join Megan and Razorthorn MD James Rees to find out how a good GRC tool can save you both time and money, while efficiently improving your security and compliance.

How Tagging Helps You Identify Risk Faster

One of the most critical factors to effective cybersecurity is time. The longer a vulnerability remains unaddressed, the more opportunity you give hackers to get into your system and wreak havoc. Think about it like this: imagine that you leave your laptop bag sitting on the passenger seat of your car. If you run into the store to get milk but forget to lock the door, the odds are that the laptop bag will still be there when you get back.
