CISOs: Are You Applying NIST / CISA Standards to ALL Data Including the Cloud?

Security leaders want to solve problems identifying and understanding anomalies or account access behaviors by correlating anomalous behaviors of specific accounts with other parameters like geography or ingress and egress points, but few rules-based Cybersecurity tools have the ability to do that without a great deal of manual data massaging and manipulating.

Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit 2023 Recap

One of the key predictions is that by 2027, 50% of chief information security officers (CISOs) will adopt human-centric design practices in their cybersecurity programs to minimize operational friction and maximize control adoption. This approach focuses on designing security controls around individuals rather than technology or threats. It recognizes that employees play a crucial role in cybersecurity and aims to reduce the likelihood of risky behavior.

Aligning an Organization’s Attack Surface to Detection Surface is Key to Adversary Defense in Today’s Cloud Era

With the Cloud Era, the IT asset estate has expanded, and there is a diverse set of attack surfaces to defend. The term “attack surface” describes the growing IT asset estate, but there is no parallel term to describe where we can detect or respond to attacker activity.

What Legacy and Bundled Cybersecurity Tools Miss in Large Network Environments

The main challenge many of the cybersecurity products on the market today struggle to overcome is the difficulty of monitoring multi-cloud environments. Many are only capable of handling pieces of one environment rather than giving an enterprise visibility across all of their environments. This leaves costly gaps in their security posture and significantly increases the likelihood of an attack.

Making an Informed Cloud Security Decision

Many organizations rely on neural networks driven by machine learning that relies on the accuracy of manually constructed training data. Training data errors lead to overlooked anomalous behavior and, often, mountains of false positive and negative flags that have to be reviewed by human analysts.

Encryption = Privacy ≠ Security

For the past few years, many have been talking about the changing “threat landscape” as it pertains to the increase in zero day, insider and phishing threats. While all of these threats are on the rise, and constitute a concern, there is, perhaps, an even larger shift presenting a threat to enterprises – the shift …
