Critical Security Controls are a set of cybersecurity principles and actions that list defense tactics and best practices to mitigate against popular cyber-attack methods. But what makes them so valuable is that the framework prioritizes a small number of actions that all work to significantly reduce cybersecurity risk across your network. Keep reading to learn more about CIS controls, as well as which controls are essential for successful cyber defense.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a framework for data protection that gives strict obligations for organizations within the European Union. For many businesses, understanding and implementing GDPR vendor management is a daunting task. That’s why we are going to break down what GDPR vendor management is, who is involved in it, and what the requirements are.

Risk mitigation is at the heart of cybersecurity. By connecting to the Internet, implementing upgraded IT systems, or adding a new vendor to your organization, you are automatically exposing your business to some level of cyber risk. With outsourcing on the rise and a growing reliance on vendors who are processing, storing, and transmitting sensitive data, assessing and mitigating risk is becoming increasingly important.

With many nuances to consider, adhering to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements can be a daunting task. After all, the entirety of the GDPR consists of a whopping 99 Articles. Fortunately, by following a GDPR security checklist, you can help your organization ensure that all required facets of data security are covered without sifting through pages and pages of legalese.

Third-party cyber risk is now one of the biggest threats today, according to many CISOs. Security leaders point to the fact that many of the recent major breaches have been a result of a single software supply chain vulnerability: SolarWinds, Log4j, and MOVEit, just to name a few.

In today’s digital age, where businesses rely heavily on technology and data, the risk of cyberattacks and data breaches has become a constant concern.

But what exactly is the cost of cyber liability insurance, and how do insurers determine it?

Businesses of all sizes are increasingly reliant on technology to conduct their operations efficiently. While technology offers numerous benefits, it also exposes organizations to a growing threat—cyber attacks (or cyberattacks). As the frequency and sophistication of cyber threats continue to rise, businesses are turning to a crucial safeguard: cyber attack insurance.
