File integrity monitoring helps ensure that critical system and data files aren’t altered — maliciously or accidentally.
Most organizations associate the term “security breach” with the theft or exposure of sensitive data. However, data tampering could pose an even greater threat, according to leading security experts.
Organizations must take steps to reduce risks from unmanaged file-sharing services.
Cloud applications and services make it easy for business users to explore new ways to do their jobs with improved speed, flexibility andefficiency. Unfortunately, they also make it easy to circumvent IT authorization, which significantly heightens the risk of data loss and compliance violations.
Enhanced biometrics solutions boost security through stronger authentication.
The password has been a linchpin of security for millennia, a common way to demand proof of identity in order to control access to an area. It may have been effective for medieval castle sentries, but the password has become notoriously inadequate for protecting modern IT environments.
Organizations are turning to managed security service providers for help in boosting data security and regulatory compliance.
Organizations continue to make significant investments in cybersecurity, but cybersecurity incidents continue to make headlines.
Software-defined WAN solutions help to reduce costs and streamline operations through flexibility, consolidation and centralized management.
The wide-area network (WAN) has become one of the most critical components of the IT infrastructure, enabling organizations to gain access to cloud resources and connect remote locations and workers to headquarters.
At this year’s DEF CON cyber security event, security researches demonstrated that by using a telephone line they could send a fax that would enable them to access and gain complete control of the recipient’s fax machine and any connected network.
Orlando Steel trusts Verteks to provide good advice and reliable technology solutions.
There are dozens of different metrics for evaluating the effectiveness of technology solutions. Organizations often base IT investment decisions on characteristics such as processing power, capacity, scalability, throughput, availability and more.
Communications Platform-as-a-Service is changing the way communications and collaboration services are delivered.
Remember when the phone system was a distinct piece of equipment that was managed by specialists? Those days are becoming a distant memory as more organizations adopt unified communications (UC) solutions.
Threat intelligence provides the actionable information organizations need to enhance their security strategies.
Most security tools are designed to detect and defend against specific types of cyberattacks. Firewalls allow only trusted traffic to flow through, while intrusion prevention systems examine data packets and drop those that appear to be malicious.
SIEM systems help overworked IT teams wade through alerts and event logs to better detect and respond to security incidents.
Common sense would dictate that the longer it takes to discover a security breach, the greater the potential damage. Unfortunately, insider attacks, zero-day exploits and advanced persistent threats are increasingly difficult to detect, giving cybercriminals the advantage of lengthy “dwell times” in compromised systems and networks.
