Monitor the security and compliance posture of your Azure environment with Datadog

Governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) management presents some unique challenges for organizations that deploy a myriad of cloud resources, services, and accounts. Simple misconfigurations in any of these assets can lead to a serious data breach, and compliance issues become even more prevalent as organizations try to inventory and manage assets across multiple cloud platforms and security and auditing tools.

Past as a Prologue: What Users can Expect with 2022 Cyber Threats

The cyber risk landscape changes quickly. In the last few years we’ve seen a rise in the number of ransomware attacks, and the end of 2021 was marked by the Log4J vulnerability. As data stacks get bigger and more difficult to defend, you may be wondering what threats are on the horizon in 2022. Based on what we’ve seen so far, the coming year’s risks are likely to be fairly familiar.

How to secure web apps continuously with Pen Testing as a Service

Web applications are continuously evolving due to the hypo-velocity of code changes and stream of new features and functionality leaving businesses exposed to application security risks. A new wave of automated pen testing conducted through a software as a service delivery model can help reduce this risk by providing automated vulnerability findings in real time.

Need Help Implementing Security? Tripwire Advisor Program's Got You Covered

As a former systems and network administrator, I understand the demands that are placed on today’s IT professionals. It’s true that skills gap continues to hamper IT and security personnel, for example. In early 2020, Tripwire revealed the results of a survey in which 83% of security professionals noted that they felt more overworked going into that year than they did at the start of 2019.

Robustness vs Resilience in Cybersecurity

Our cybersecurity architectures need to be resilient, not robust. Let’s understand with an example: Egyptian pyramids are robust. They have stood the test of time for 1000s of years. But they're not resilient. If you blow one up with dynamite, it will explode. On the other hand, a coral reef is resilient. If you break off a part of it, it regenerates itself. Similarly, in cybersecurity, we need to have the mindset of resilience, recovery, and recuperation.
