We’re not just referring to the need to recertify annually and pass occasional audits. We’re talking about an additional part of the process, the final part of the NIST Risk Management Framework: Monitoring.

What is OSCAL and Why Does It Matter for NIST and FedRAMP? Complying with federal cybersecurity guidelines is a difficult task.

Since 1991, Web Application Firewall, commonly referred to as WAF, has become one of the most common application security technologies available on the market. Since the last century, WAFs have evolved by incorporating the cloud and using Machine Learning instead of RegExp. Currently, few technologies, such as NG-WAF, RASP, WAAP, and a few others, have internal WAF capabilities, which prevent web applications and API threats.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) 4.0, issued a comprehensive set of requirements, to safeguard online payment systems against breaches and theft of cardholder data.
