Organizations have started considering cybersecurity as a top priority lately. The amount of money invested in IT infrastructure is increasing at an exponential rate. Further, dedicated teams are formed to monitor and optimize the performance of the different solutions that each organization has in its environment. Similarly, when it comes to cybersecurity, it’s become essential to evaluate and quantify the security posture of every organization.

In a previous post my colleague spoke about how ensuring devices on your network is a great way to minimize the attack surface of your infrastructure. Organizations like the Center for Internet Security (CIS) provide guidelines on how to best configure operating systems to minimize the attack surface. The CIS calls these “benchmarks.”

The importance of cyber security compliance training cannot be underestimated, especially in the current era where we are seeing an increasing number of cybercrimes in the industry. As a business owner, conducting cybersecurity compliance training is now not just an option but an essential part of cybersecurity and various compliance programs. Unfortunately, most businesses are still far from taking such training programs seriously.

Cybersecurity starts with the ability to recognize your cyber risk. We will explore several topics related to taking a practical approach to managing risk and achieving cyber resilience. This is a blog series with collective thoughts from Bindu Sundaresan, Director AT&T Cybersecurity, and Nick Simmons, AVP, Cybersecurity. Cybercrime has become increasingly frequent, complex, and costly, posing a risk to all businesses regardless of size. How do you plan to respond when falling victim to a breach?

Establishing proper privileged account management procedures is an essential part of insider risk protection. There are some common mistakes companies make when managing accounts of privileged users. In this article, we overview eight widespread poor account management practices, analyze their consequences, and discuss ways to improve them. We also take a look at Ekran System’s account management capabilities that you can benefit from.

Cybersecurity is important because of the major risk data breaches pose. Now more than ever, personal and confidential data such as banking information, addresses, or financial documents are being shared and saved online. Without proper cybersecurity, this data becomes an easy target for cyberattacks which can cause monetary and reputational damage to people and businesses. Cyberattacks take on different forms.

For decades, the cybersecurity industry has been shrouded in secrecy. This is partly because of the misunderstanding that cybersecurity often relies on obscurity as its primary form of defense. As the thinking goes, if adversaries don’t know about or understand the security controls that security vendors have in place, it will be easier to defend against cyberattacks.

In the world of Big Data, decentralization is king. Seeing that today’s data sets are so large and complex that traditional database systems cannot handle them, distributed deep learning splits computational problems that require high storage and solving time into many subproblems that can be assigned to multiple machines.
