Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Any business or service provider looking to work with the federal government or one of its departments or agencies is going to need to comply with one of the security frameworks as appropriate for their role, usually something like CMMC, FedRAMP, or HITRUST. A key part of these security frameworks is verification and validation that security measures are in place and that continuous monitoring is effective.

Criminals have always been among the first to adopt the latest technology to benefit themselves financially. Famed bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde used high-powered V-8 engine-equipped Ford cars to outrun local police. Other gangs used the telephone to help coordinate their activities, and some realized they could gain an edge by outgunning security and police by toting Thomson submachine guns.

As March Madness sweeps across the nation, the excitement and frenzy associated with the NCAA Basketball Tournament also ushers in a season ripe for cyber threats. This annual college basketball tournament, beloved by millions, creates a unique environment that cybercriminals exploit to launch sophisticated social engineering attacks.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become one of the most transformative forces of our time. From the mundane tasks of everyday life to the complexities of global industries, artificial intelligence continues to permeate every aspect of society, reshaping how we live, work, and interact. The growing importance of AI is not just a trend but a fundamental shift in the way we perceive and leverage technology. This is particularly true in the cybersecurity industry.

Devices are the gateways to our work, and IT professionals understand the importance of managing and securing endpoints as part of a holistic identity and access management (IAM) strategy. Yet, it’s impossible to control what you aren’t aware of. Shadow IT, the unauthorized use of devices, apps, and services that people use to perform their jobs, can bypass even the best security programs.
