Here are seven cybersecurity trends and ransomware attack examples that you should make sure to keep top of mind in 2022.

Decade Retrospective: The State of Vulnerabilities

The Spanish philosopher George Santayana is credited with the aphorism “Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” This statement is particularly true when it comes to cybersecurity. Threat actors reuse well-known and previously patched vulnerabilities and attempt to take advantage of organizations making the same error over and over. So, if one does not know what has recently taken place it leaves you vulnerable to another attack.

This ends up leaving sensitive apps and data vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Trustless Infrastructure: Securing Critical Assets with Teleport

The global pandemic and push for remote work are putting companies’ IT infrastructures at greater risk than before. This risk grows as infrastructure is scaled, and more people gain access to highly sensitive data, such as access keys to a valuable password vault. Another vulnerability is the use of passwords since they can also be compromised. To overcome these risks and protect critical infrastructure, the implementation of a zero-trust access solution is needed. But how can we accomplish that without slowing down engineers or adding administrative overhead?
