What is FIPS 140-2? Cryptographic Module Validation Program
FIPS 140-2 is a federal information processing standard that manages security requirements for cryptographic modules. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published the security standard in November 2001 to develop coordinated requirements for hardware computer components. NIST replaced FIPS 140-2 with FIPS 140-3 in March 2019. This iteration introduced new critical security parameters for software and firmware and updated the four critical security levels that FIPS 140-2 introduced.
Security Awareness Is Dead. Long Live Security Awareness
Our actions determine outcomes, not our thoughts, our knowledge, or our intentions. Everyone working in cybersecurity knows that and is all too familiar with statistics like “more than 70% of cyber incidents are facilitated by human action” (in some reports, even up to 95%). Seemingly, security awareness is all about educating people about the dangers that be, but it does not cut to the chase of actually training people to do the right thing.

Effective Risk Management: The COSO ERM Framework
Enterprise risk management (ERM) frameworks allow organizations to identify, assess, manage, and monitor risks across all levels of an organization. One of the most well-known approaches to ERM is the COSO ERM framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The framework offers guidelines and best practices for organizations seeking to achieve a balanced perspective on risk.
Fight, Flight, or Freeze | The Human Psychology of Security
Bec McKeown explains the intricate process of how this tiny brain structure, the amygdala, sends chemical signals down the spinal cord to the adrenal gland, resulting in the production of adrenaline. Explore the intriguing phenomenon of the freeze response and how it relates to the delicate balance between heightened adrenaline and reduced rationality. Learn about the evolutionary significance of this mechanism, which once helped our ancestors escape from saber-toothed tigers but now responds to various modern threats.
