Every breach starts as a compromise that goes unnoticed and unactioned, often because existing security devices have too many events, too little context and cannot prioritize. Providing these systems with threat intelligence is the lowest cost and most effective way to improve contextualization and blocking of new attacks.
Want a job in cybersecurity? There are plenty to go around. Cybersecurity Ventures estimated that there will be 3.5 million job openings in the industry by the end of the year. That makes sense. According to Gartner , global spending on information security and risk management technology is expected to exceed$150 billion in 2021. Organizations are going to need someone to help them manage those new solutions. The issue is that information security is an expansive industry.
Social engineering is a type of cyber attack that targets people to gain access to buildings, systems, or data.

Social engineering is one of the most common— and successful— forms of cyber attack. Social engineering attacks are constantly evolving, but they generally follow five main approaches.
Indicators of compromise are the red flags of the information security world. These helpful warnings allow trained professionals to recognize when a system may be under attack or if the attack has already taken place, providing a way to respond to protect information from extraction. There are many indicators of compromise, depending on the type of threat.
The shift to remote and hybrid work at scale has created unprecedented demand for our cloud-delivered Zero Trust Network Access(ZTNA) solution, Netskope Private Access(NPA). This is no surprise.
During this past year, organizations have moved towards the adoption of SaaS (software-as-a-service) applications like Microsoft O365, Salesforce, and GitHub at a more rapid pace than originally planned to help accommodate and facilitate the many employees that became remote workers, needing access to cloud applications from anywhere.
Change is the only constant and this is especially apparent for the firewall space, as we’ve seen with branch office transformation and users continuing to work remotely. Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture, when properly designed, puts the user in the center with cloud edge security services protecting them, their data, and the apps and websites they use every day, on either company or personal instances.
