Many enterprises perceive cyber-attacks as malicious actions predominantly executed by external actors. Enterprises devote time and budgets investing in methods to bolster their security perimeters against external threat actors. However, it is equally important for these organizations to remember that many cyber-attacks, which cost millions in losses, originate through an internal compromise.

Employees in the post-lockdown world have bid goodbye to traditional work environments. Remote and hybrid work is the new normal, with employees expecting full access to their work resources even when working remotely. They might also use multiple devices, even personal ones, to access corporate data.

Email allows people to instantly connect with others across the world and share almost any information they want.

Identity fraud is the unauthorised use of a person’s personal information by another person to commit a crime or deceive or defraud that person or a third party in order to take advantage of the pleasures that come with that synthetic identity.

I remember where I was sitting when I read Mandiant’s first M-Trends report on the advanced persistent threat in 2010. I was a technical director at the National Security Agency in the office of Tailored Access Operations (TAO). At that time, my job was to build computer network exploitation (CNE) tools to collect foreign intelligence.

Inversion of control (IoC) techniques give developers a way to break out of traditional programming flow, and it offers them more flexibility and greater control over their code. Dependency injection, one form of IoC, is a pattern that aims to separate the concerns of constructing objects and using them. In this article, you’ll learn what dependency injection is, when you should use it, and what popular JavaScript frameworks it’s implemented in.

Today, web and mobile applications and API-based microservice endpoints are becoming the default. These applications are reachable through the HTTP web protocol. The encryption provided by a Secured Socket Layer or Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) is a must to secure the communication between client and server and across API back-ends. SSL/TLS are certificate-based encryption mechanisms. SSL has been the standard for over 20 years.

Remote work has significantly changed how employers hire and manage employees. Research shows the remote trend is only rising. 58% of US workers have the option to work remotely. More companies are leveraging talent across the U.S. and the world, making their companies stronger and more diverse.
