Remote Work: Where do we stand one year on?
Remote working has been a necessity for many organisations over the past year. But with a tentative re-opening of offices on the cards, how many of us will be making a full-time return? We've surveyed 3,000 remote workers to bring you the most up-to-date picture of the remote working landscape.
Framework for a Comprehensive Ransomware Recovery Plan
Let's face it, recent ransomware attacks have caught many IT professionals off guard. Reason being is they honestly didn't have adequate plans in place. And it's not totally their fault. The ransomware attacks of today are far more sophisticated. Which means you need an equally sophisticated, yet easy to implement plan in place to survive and recover. In this whitepaper, Framework for a Comprehensive Ransomware Recovery Plan, we give you the tools to develop your own ransomware recovery playbook.
Protecting Unstructured Data
Most of the collective data fueling today's technological and scientific advances consists of unstructured data files - trillions of them. Large files, medium files, and small files are stored on NAS systems, Unix servers, Windows servers, and public cloud platforms. And the number of individual files behind these innovations continue to increase at an exponential rate. Download this ebook and learn how to enhance visibility, protection, and mobility at petabyte scale for your unstructured data.
Evaluating encryption with the NIST Protect framework
A variety of cyber security frameworks exist to help organisations in different sectors to go about IT security in a rigorous and controlled manner. To name a few, there's ISO IEC 27001/ISO 27002, the US NIST Cyber security Framework and the UK NIS Regulations Cyber Assessment Framework. The frameworks are an excellent way to help formalise the process of implementing and maintaining effective cyber security strategies through defined structures containing processes, practices, and technologies which companies can use to secure network and computer systems from security threats.
Using Transparent Encryption to Defeat 12 Common Data Breaches
Securing the network perimeter has long since been recognised as insufficient. With today's environment of local networks, networked devices and cloud applications, organisations use security techniques such as Zero Trust, the Software Defined Perimeter and Microsegmentation to cope. These approaches and related technologies are designed to block unauthorised access to data containers, i.e. files. Control over access to files is the new security perimeter.
Meeting PCI DSS Merchant Requirements with WatchGuard UTM, Total Security, Multi-Factor Authentication, And Wireless Solutions
If you are in the retail or hospitality industries, it's important to know exactly how your network security solution maps to PCI DSS standards. This white paper presents a straight-forward review of PCI requirements and how the WatchGuard platform delivers the capabilities you need to ensure mandates are met.
Deploying Zero-Trust Networks in the Era of COVID-19
The coronavirus pandemic has exposed business continuity inadequacies at many organizations, and highlighted the slow pace of progress in digital transformation. This new reality necessitates a departure from a traditional network-centric security model that assumes every device and user within the network should be trusted. In this eBook we will explore how the dynamics of COVID-19 have impacted security, outline the importance of a zero-trust approach, and discuss how WatchGuard can help your business deliver the security you need during these trying times.
Sysdig: Securing Infrastructure as code via Open Policy Agent (OPA)
Moving to containers and Kubernetes creates a tremendous opportunity to get security right and reduce the risk of data breach. Most organizations start their Kubernetes security efforts by 'shifting security left' to address issues in the CI/CD pipeline. Fixing known vulnerabilities and risky configurations before pushing images to production makes sense. But there is an opportunity to shift security even further left - as you configure your Kubernetes infrastructure - to reduce risk.
5 Reasons we're seeing more ransomware attacks than ever before
Cybersecurity specialists have noticed several troubling trends over the past year, ransomware being one of the most concerning. While this is far from a new issue, it’s now more common than ever before. Every month in Q2 2021 set a new record for ransomware attempts, contributing to a 151% year-over-year increase compared to 2020. Cybercrime has risen in the past year, but ransomware attacks are outpacing other forms.
