When the Biden Administration released its Cybersecurity Executive Order in May 2021, it was clear that Zero Trust would be a central component of the government’s security approach moving forward. Agencies and their partners scrambled to assess their existing Zero Trust investments and the gaps that would need to be filled in order to quickly ramp up implementation.
As cybersecurity professionals, we are always impressing the importance of patch management as one of the best ways to protect systems against vulnerabilities. Sometimes, the vulnerabilities are never fully exploited. Regardless of the threat possibility, patching is one of the easiest ways to ensure the minimum level of security in an organization.
Data loss prevention (DLP) refers to a category of tools and technologies that classify, detect, and protect information (data) in three states: data in use, data at rest, and data in motion. The purpose of DLP is to enforce corporate data security policies that govern where data does — and doesn’t — belong. As such, there are some key strategies and best practices required to build these data security policies.

In this post, we demonstrate how to set up effective security monitoring of your Hyperledger Fabric infrastructure. We identify some common threats, recognize key data sources to monitor, and walk through using Splunk to ingest and visualize your data. This post follows Introducing Splunk App for Hyperledger Fabric and highlights the use of the app for security monitoring of blockchain infrastructure. We will address smart contract/chaincode security & monitoring in a follow-up post.
Currently, ransomware is the most prominent cyber threat to businesses and individuals. Ransomware attacks are growing more prevalent as cybercriminals find new ways to profit from them. According to CyberEdge’s 2021 Cyberthreat Defense Report, 62% of organizations were victimized by ransomware in 2019—up from 56% in 2018 and 55% in 2017. This rise is arguably fueled by the dramatic increase in ransomware payments.
Session Replay enables you to replay in a video-like format how users interact with your website to help you understand behavioral patterns and save time troubleshooting. Visibility into user sessions, however, can risk exposing sensitive data and raise privacy concerns. For example, a user session may include typing in a credit card or social security number into an input field.
Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) is a collection of cloud-based productivity and collaboration tools developed by Google. Today, millions of teams use Google Workspace (e.g., Gmail, Drive, Hangouts) to streamline their workflows. Monitoring Google Workspace activity is an essential part of security monitoring and audits, especially if these applications have become tightly integrated with your organization’s data.
