As National Insider Threat Awareness Month draws to a close, Egnyte is taking this opportunity to reinforce everyday best practices that companies like yours need to follow. The goal of the month is to educate U.S. government and industry leaders about the risks of insider threats and how to effectively address them.
In the days of on-prem data centers and early cloud adoption, the roles of application developers, infrastructure operations, and security were largely siloed. In the cloud, this division of labor increases the time-to-market for innovation, reduces productivity, and invites unnecessary risk.
Higher education institutions, like colleges and universities, often work with dozens of third-party vendors, which can introduce considerable security risks if the school doesn't maintain a proper vendor risk management (VRM) program. Compromised third parties can pose serious risks to universities, which can expose sensitive data, disrupt business continuity, or incur serious financial damages.
That’s a good question if you’ve been curious about what it is and if it applies to you. For example, do you have a cloud product that the US Government would gain benefit from using? Are you being asked to seek a security approval or an “ATO” by your customer? We’ll go through the basics of FedRAMP in this article to help you understand where you stand in that process. FedRAMP is a government-wide program.
