Cybersecurity Automation

Even though organizations are expecting security automation to reduce their cybersecurity workforce, it also helps them to focus on overall network security and the most serious vulnerabilities.

As cyber attacks evolve, so must infosec teams' methods of detecting them. Security observability is the next step up from monitoring. Learn why, as well as when to build or retrofit this approach into complex enterprise environments.

Even in the days of the ENIAC—the first general-purpose digital computer, completed in 1945—we knew data isn’t useful unless it’s in the hands of the right people at the right time With good data, teams can work together, and companies can make informed decisions to meet the needs of their suppliers and customers. Data matters to any company, but managing it becomes more complex as the company grows larger. For example, a global enterprise manufacturing and selling widgets could have an office in Singapore designing its products simultaneously with other design teams in Palo Alto and Germany.

Proofpoint’s Andrew Rose discusses the ongoing challenges in cybersecurity and how automation can help with the industry skills shortage.

In software development, there is a concept called "technical debt." It describes the costs companies pay when they choose to build software the easy (or fast) way instead of the right way.

Breaches of cyber security are a significant risk to every business, but are increasingly affecting local government and the public sector

Over the past ten years, enterprise IT has been transformed by the expansion and maturation of the cloud. The cloud has made it possible for enterprises to cost-effectively and quickly develop and deploy a large number and wide variety of digital services. Meanwhile, the growing ubiquity of high-bandwidth wireless networks and connected devices has made it possible for customers to access these enterprises’ digital services anytime, from anywhere in the world. As innovative companies like Amazon, Salesforce and Slack use the cloud to roll-out new digital services that delighted their customers, CIOs quickly found that if they wanted their own

Nearly 65% of security operations center (SOC) analysts are likely to change jobs in the next year, survey shows.

SOC teams struggle to keep up with a dangerous threat landscape, growing attack surface, and voluminous security alerts.

Excessive complexity and lack of first line integration lead many GRC practices to failure. Simplicity and collaboration are key to success.

Cybersecurity personnel are burning out, and companies can’t replace staff fast enough.

We trust our metrics to show us the status of our system and where it misbehaves. But do our metrics show us what really happened?

Enhanced and consolidated data can provide a real-time snapshot of how effective and mature a compliance program is.

Stress and burnout are having a massive impact on cybersecurity teams, leaving people and businesses more vulnerable than ever.

Cloud-native infrastructure holds the promise of greater ease of deployment and faster time to value. read more about the blog below

71% of VPs and CIOs believe that the high number of cybersecurity tools negatively impacts their org’s ability to detect and prevent threats.

The security operations centre (SOC) has been on the front line facing the pandemic-induced escalation of cybersecurity threats in the past eighteen months.

Despite what most vendors and pundits will tell you, the answer to cyber attacks isn’t simply “buy more tools.”

The battle against Log4Shell is proceeding very slowly due to a confluence of factors. It remains buried in a number of assets, particularly legacy systems that are tougher to address. But it also continues to affect organizations via new devices.

The growing attack surface is extending the security/software developer gap, increasing vulnerabilities, and slowing security investigations.

Organizations must take active steps to maintain an accurate and up-to-date inventory of their data, with particular focus on identifying their sensitive data.

Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) and ITOps teams use wide variety of tools and operational data to mitigate security posture exposures and fortify business resiliency, yet audit readiness and compliance validation remain a challenge.

The first half of the year saw more than 11,800 reported security vulnerabilities, but figuring out which ones to patch first remains a thankless job for IT teams.

With an infrastructure for observability, security teams can make better decisions about access and identity-based threats.
