Are you tired of playing whack-a-mole with cloud security risks? Do endless compliance reports and alert fatigue leave you feeling overwhelmed? It's time to ditch the outdated, reactive approach and embrace a new era of cloud security that's all about proactive visibility. The Missing Piece: Understanding Your Cloud Applications Imagine this: you have a crystal-clear view of every application running in your cloud environment.

As I write this, billions of users are looking at “the blue screen of death.” Flights are grounded around the world, 9-1-1 service is offline in the entire state of Alaska, hospitals can’t check in patients, retailers cannot make sales because their POS systems are down, Newark airport has reverted to paper tickets for check-in, and countless other organizations are at a standstill. This is the top story on every major news site I’ve checked. What could cause this carnage?

In the early hours of July 19th, 2024, CrowdStrike endpoints on Windows machines worldwide received a faulty content update, causing what is shaping up to be the one of the largest global IT outages to date. All over the world reports of Windows workstations and servers stuck in a boot loop with a BSOD were pouring in, impacting airlines, airports, banks, hospitals and many other critical infrastructures such as emergency services call centers, and the list goes on.

In the constantly evolving world of cybersecurity, staying ahead of emerging threats requires continuous vigilance and adaptation. Fortunately for those of us in the industry, we’ve been able to count on highly respected digital forensics and incident response specialists like Mandiant to publish annual research on the latest security trends seen first-hand by their global teams.

Wipers are malware that delete data on a device or make it inaccessible. They can be used for sabotage, to destroy evidence of an attack or simply to make a device unusable. IoT wipers often rewrite important parts of the firmware of an IoT device, rendering that device useless, so they are also known as “brickers”. Recent notorious examples of IoT wipers are AcidRain which was used by a Russian APT to brick satellite modems in Europe at the outset of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

The cybersecurity landscape is evolving, and Network Detection and Response (NDR) solutions are becoming indispensable for consistent visibility across an increasing attack surface.

Organizations in various sectors require multiple hardware assets. When organizations distribute assets to their employees, many have to deploy the boot files manually in individual devices, a tedious and time-consuming process—and especially when it’s necessary for 100 or more employees. ManageEngine DDI Central, a centralized platform for managing DNS, DHCP, and IPAM, provides you with templates so you can efficiently implement one-time configurations for your devices.

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is the digital equivalent of your home address. Your home has a unique identification number that gives information about your physical geographic location, like road, city, state, and country. An IP address provides similar information about the people and devices connected to a network.

In today’s complex IT environments, maintaining full network visibility is a daunting task. Network segmentation, while essential for security, often complicates the process of obtaining a comprehensive view of the entire network infrastructure. Federal IT departments charged with the responsibility of keeping networks mission-ready, face significant hurdles in visualizing connectivity, ensuring security zone segmentation, and performing complete path searches across segmented domains.
