With the release of the 2022 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Security Service Edge (SSE) there is an abundance of information on the newest framework created to address security requirements in a cloud-first world. SSE was introduced in 2021 to refine Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) by focusing on the convergence of security capabilities within the framework. Check out my blog breaking down SSE and SASE for a more in depth explanation.

Hello friend, My name is Maxime Lamothe-Brassard and I am the CEO and founder of LimaCharlie.

In the realm of cloud security, public sector agencies have a lot on their plates. From keeping up with the barrage of constantly emerging security guidelines (see below) to the ongoing demands of maintaining software security, the pressure on the government to lock down cybersecurity is immense.

Spring has arrived, the flowers are blooming and, for us Kubernetes fans, CNCF’s KubeCon Europe conference has just begun in Valencia! Here at Catalogic, the CloudCasa team has spent the last few months trying to top our February release by developing another set of great new features.

We’re living in the age of accelerated consumption and delivery. You can get a seemingly infinite selection of products delivered to your door within two days, for free, from thousands of miles away. You can access an endless variety of services online within mere seconds: Movies, music, games, education and even health care. These modern marvels are afforded to us by relatively recent advances in software development, delivery and operations.

In November 2021, the U.S. Department of Defense significantly updated its Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework to incorporate new cybersecurity requirements for DoD contractors. In particular, CMMC 2.0 Level 1 (Foundational) contractors must now perform annual self-assessments, and Level 2 (Advanced) contractors must perform annual self-assessments for selected programs.

Cyber security is an important aspect and an integral part of any online business. The layperson has little idea of what threats exist and how to protect against them. And yet, if you own a business you are almost definitely vulnerable to cyber security threats. You don’t need to be a Fortune 500 company to protect against them. By knowing what to do, you can keep your data secure and avoid breaches.

Today’s threat actors often carry out cyber attacks with the primary objective of accessing and exfiltrating sensitive information from your IT environment. Efforts to obtain this “crown jewel” information usually involve complex multi-phase cyber attacks. But another way in which sensitive data ends up in the hands of malicious actors with a lot less effort is when an organization exposes sensitive data assets in a data leak incident.
