Security assessments can help organizations win the war against cyberattacks by identifying and remediating vulnerabilities.
Sometime in the sixth century B.C., Chinese general Sun Tzu wrote one of the most successful books on military strategy. In it he states that strong leadership and sound planning can result in victory over a superior force.
A hybrid cloud enables organizations to gain the agility of the public cloud while maintaining security and control.
Public cloud or on-premises data center? That has been the conundrum organizations face as they seek to leverage the flexibility and scalability of the public cloud while addressing security, privacy and performance concerns.
The rate of cloud adoption will continue to be highest among small to midsize businesses (SMBs), according to recent forecasts from Techaisle, with 57 percent of SMBs accelerating their cloud initiatives. Not only is cloud adoption increasing, but cloud strategies are becoming more advanced.
Most security breaches can be traced back to human error. Hackers know it’s far more difficult to defeat advanced security defenses than it is to trick a human into opening the doors and letting them in. If the doors aren’t completely opened, the keys are essentially handed to hackers when organizations fail to require complex passwords, turn on security features or respond to security alerts.
“I opened the attachment because the email looked like it was from my boss.”
“I needed to work from home and my Internet has been spotty, so I just saved the documents to a USB drive.”
“I paid the ransom because I didn’t want to get in trouble, but I still can’t access my files.
Without access to business applications, data and cloud resources, many organizations can’t function. In a best-case scenario, operations are severely limited, which results in low productivity, missed deadlines, lost sales, a poor customer experience and high mitigation costs.
Hurricane activity has spiked dramatically in recent weeks. As the National Hurricane Center monitored the simultaneous formation of a half-dozen named storms and five other areas of concern in mid-September, NHC scientist Eric Blake tweeted, “They are forming like roaches out there!”
An active hurricane season is always a reminder of the importance of disaster recovery planning.
Password security is one of the biggest challenges faced by organizations today, with a staggering 81% of data breaches caused by a weak or stolen password. Subsequently businesses are evaluating multi-factor authentication (MFA) products for additional layers of security around access to corporate resources.
