In 2020, we saw cybersecurity move from a technical problem to become a business enabler. In 2022, we will see 5G go from new technology to a business enabler bringing previously unimaginable use cases because of its high bandwidth and lower latency. Data from the current AT&T Cybersecurity Insights Report shows that 5G technology is being driven by the line of business and has been siloed between IT and OT organizations.
Cloud security is not only good for consumers — but it’s also a requirement for businesses in many industries. Understanding compliance regulations (like GDPR) and security frameworks (like NIST) can help IT teams create strong, layered privacy and security controls and data loss prevention using a range of platforms and integrations. Here are the most common and comprehensive security standards that businesses need to know to be cloud compliant.
In this tutorial, we will walk through the end-to-end process of scanning your Amazon S3 buckets for sensitive data with Nightfall’s S3 Sensitive Data Scanner. By the end of this tutorial, you will have an exported spreadsheet report (CSV) of the sensitive data in your S3 buckets.
Organizations store high volumes of business-critical information in Amazon S3, such as personally identifiable information (PII), credit card information, secrets & credentials, and more. Identifying and protecting sensitive data in Amazon S3 is increasingly time-consuming, complex, and expensive, especially as your organization takes on more data.
A CASB (cloud access security broker) is an intermediary between users, an organization, and a cloud environment. CASBs allow organizations to manage cloud security and enforce security policies through a consolidated platform. The term CASB was introduced by Gartner in 2012, defined as “...
Customers are increasingly looking for just-in-time access to infrastructure. Imagine there is a production outage and a senior SRE needs to login to a production server to diagnose and fix the issue. In this organization, on-call SREs have elevated access to production systems, but when they are off-duty, their privileges are reduced. When the Pager Duty alert goes off, our on-call SRE ssh’s into the server but after several minutes of looking, can’t diagnose the issue.
As organizations look for solutions that enable them to create a software bill of materials (SBOM) to ensure they’re meeting new governmental mandates for protecting the software supply chain, it’s important to understand the difference between solutions based on reporting vs. remediation. The primary focus of any SBOM solution should be on open source code. The use of open source continues to expand exponentially. Open source components comprise 60%-80% of today’s applications.
