Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Every day, cyber incidents and their subsequent downtimes seem to fill the news. These downtimes, both costly and damaging to consumer trust, have rightfully been something that CISOs and CIOs work to prevent with increasingly sophisticated security measures. But sometimes the most damaging "disasters" are the simplest.

How automated data compliance can meet business, customer and regulatory demands.

If your company is not using managed network security services, then it's time to start. Here are the benefits of managed security for your business.

During the last 20 years many areas of technology development seemed to speed up dramatically. Identity management as part of cybersecurity, has undergone an incredible transformation, at a rate which no one could have predicted. But few areas moved as fast as quantum computing is developing today. The speed of progress is impressive with advances in capability, which once seemed near impossible, being achieved in relatively short time frames.

Rewind a couple of years and enterprises were heavily focused on acquiring new tech to drive forward their digitisation plans. Then, when the pandemic struck, organisations were forced to fix any technology gaps in their environment and digitise services to hastily plug these gaps. Cybercriminals - aware of the opportunity that the new remote landscape offered - were also taking advantage, quickly exploiting vulnerabilities across the digital ecosystem to infiltrate and breach organisations.

Over the past decade, the working world has undergone a dramatic transformation. Spending each day of the week in an office is no more for most, while many have the flexibility to work from any location using a device and network that the organisation often has no control over. Productivity levels have certainly increased because of the flexible working environment, but it has opened the door to new challenges, mainly protecting the organisation's critical assets.

Cloud computing is nothing new in 2023, but is certainly still a growth piece of technology infrastructure, and one upon which many organisations work to build their IT infrastructure, whether across one cloud provider such as the market leaders AWS, or, increasingly, around a multi-cloud strategy across several providers, and some public cloud offerings.

Has the pandemic come to an end? Are we back to a full-fledged, in-office work style? The answer is absolutely not. What we proposed as the "new normal" (working from home) back in 2020 is now just normal in 2023. Gartner research predicted that "almost 50% of employees will will continue to work remotely post-pandemic," which is the reality now! With this shifting trend towards a flexible work culture, it's essential for front line IT workers, aka sysadmins, to stay equipped with a supercharged remote troubleshooting toolkit to rescue endpoints in trouble.
