Why cloud security assessments are essential for identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities.
Cloud computing has profoundly changed how organizations acquire, use and pay for the technologies they need to conduct business. However, the speed and scale of cloud adoption often outpaces a company’s ability to secure everything.
We live in an age of remarkable advances in healthcare technology, including such breakthroughs as genetic sequencing, 3-D-printed prosthetics, robotic-assisted surgery and AI-powered imaging systems. However, research shows that outdated and inefficient communication technologies create persistent challenges in the industry.
In our last post, we discussed the importance of threat-detection solutions that can find and stop cyber threats that have secretly taken root in your network. The good news is that C-level executives and board members are taking an increased interest in cybersecurity and actively encouraging increased investment in threat detection and other security controls.
According to IBM researchers, the average organization takes 287 days to detect and respond to a data breach. By that time, it’s already too late. With nearly 10 months to rummage around in compromised systems, malicious actors have ample time to steal sensitive information, plant malware, manipulate data or sabotage infrastructure.
Cyber insurance provides a critical hedge against financial losses stemming from cyberattacks, but these policies have become more expensive and difficult to obtain. Following years of increasingly sophisticated and expensive attacks and breaches, insurers are raising premiums and imposing stricter security requirements in efforts to reduce their exposure.
Mounting cybersecurity challenges are driving strong demand for managed security services.
It’s a perfect storm for IT security professionals. The combination of rapidly expanding attack surfaces, a worsening skills shortage and an array of increasingly sophisticated threats is making cybersecurity a nearly impossible challenge.
DR-as-a-Service provides infrastructure, processes and expertise in a subscription-based model.
Organizations depend upon the around-the-clock availability of mission-critical IT systems — and that creates tremendous risk to the business. Disasters can and will occur, whether caused by human error, power interruptions, fire, water damage or weather-related events.
Educators today have a wealth of digital teaching tools at their disposal, but that has become something of a double-edged sword. While teachers can use the tools to enhance the classroom experience in many exciting ways, maintaining a working knowledge of multiple rapidly evolving technologies can become exasperating.
Microsoft doesn’t need your charity. The world’s second-largest company has a market capitalization of about $2.5 trillion, and some analysts believe it will soon become the world’s first $5 trillion company. However, if you are among the millions of Microsoft 365 users, you’re probably giving the company more money than you should.
Microsoft 365 is among the world’s most popular Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms, with some 345 million users worldwide. Analysts estimate that companies using the suite of cloud-based productivity and collaboration tools collectively generate a whopping 100 petabytes of data each month — much of which is extremely sensitive information that could lead to serious financial, legal and operational damage if lost or compromised.
