In cybersecurity, the ability to gather, analyze, and act on data determines how well an organization can anticipate threats, detect vulnerabilities, and respond to attacks. But not all intelligence is created equal. Knowing what data to collect, where to find it, and how to interpret it is what separates reactive security teams from proactive ones.

One of the largest data breaches of 2024 didn’t require advanced tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), or an escalating chain of successful attacks. It simply required purchasing credentials on the dark web and using them to log in and steal data, once again highlighting the vital need for robust, proactive protection against the growing surge of identity-based attacks.

This blog has been adapted from a section of 1Password’s ebook: “Why MDM isn’t enough for device security”. To read the complete ebook, click here. For years, mobile device management solutions (MDMs) have been all but ubiquitous in corporate cybersecurity. Devices enrolled in MDM are commonly referred to as “managed,” which reflects the tendency of companies to consider a device functionally secure as long as it has MDM installed.

In today's fast-paced digital environment, organizations face a growing need to protect sensitive systems and data while maintaining operational efficiency and driving productivity. One Identity Safeguard, a comprehensive Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution, not only addresses security concerns, but also offers significant business advantages that go beyond basic compliance and risk mitigation.

If organizations are complying with their regulatory obligations, why are they still being breached? This obvious question exposes a paradox at the heart of everything we do in cybersecurity. It seems that the more we regulate, the more compliance requirements and frameworks we produce, and the more we nurture cybersecurity awareness, the more cyber incidents we face. What’s going on? Where’s the cause and where’s the effect?

Some traditional security methods are no match for evolving cyber threats, which is why zero trust is an essential addition to every organization’s arsenal. Unlike perimeter defenses, zero trust secures access at every level, verifying every device and user continuously to create a security posture that is far harder to penetrate. Gartner reports that 63% of organizations now use a zero trust strategy, a shift driven by the rising costs and frequency of successful breaches.

Trustwave has attained authorized status by the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) for its Government Fusion platform. This announcement follows Trustwave being named last year as an official StateRAMP-authorized vendor. These achievements cap a multi-year journey through the FedRAMP process and make Trustwave the only pure-play Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider recognized by FedRAMP.
