Some 90% of security breaches can be avoided by using multi-factor authentication (MFA). Yet most enterprises still rely only on usernames and passwords - and avoid other strong second-factor authentication methods - to make user sign-on both safe and convenient. Our addiction to passwords seems to be a long-standing issue. In order to stay secure, users have to make passwords complicated, only to spend time remembering and then forgetting them, which has resulted in more IT support.

As we previously discussed in the Automating Your Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) Response blog post, CSPM is a vital component in any environment leveraging cloud services. Whether you are using a single cloud or are in a multi-cloud scenario, the complexity of these cloud platforms is constantly expanding. Staying on top of new changes in policies and functionality to ensure that you are maintaining a secure environment is daunting - and almost impossible to do without automation. No one has the resources to spend on maintaining a large team of cloud specialists who just audit everything that is in use.

Do you love SecOps in theory, but just can't seem to make it work in practice? Or, maybe you've already implemented a security operations strategy to some degree within your organization, but struggle to make IT operations and security jive as seamlessly as you would like?

ITOps, SecOps, and DevOps may sound similar. Indeed, they are similar - to a degree. But they have different areas of focus, different histories, and different operational paradigms. Keep reading for an overview of what ITOps, SecOps, and DevOps mean and how they compare. We'll also explain where DevSecOps fits into the conversation - and why you shouldn't worry so much about defining these terms perfectly as you should about finding ways to operationalize collaboration between your various teams.

Ransomware criminals are masters of their trade. They deploy a wide variety of techniques to infiltrate targeted systems and exfiltrate valuable data. Threat actors are located all over the world, and it can often seem impossible to keep track of emerging threats.
