Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Software as a Service (SaaS) has become an increasingly hot topic for businesses of all sizes. Companies looking to change the way they operate after the COVID-19 pandemic have been making use of SaaS services to help them grow. But, as more companies use SaaS, so too do more cybercriminals take an interest in it. Here we look at four major threats to business SaaS security measures and analyse what your company can do to minimise the risk during 2022.

Nigel Thorpe, technical director at SecureAge says it's time to beat ransomware criminals at their own game.

Which cultural values empower businesses to thrive today? That's an open question, of course. But I suspect most employees, managers, and analysts would include items like collaboration, transparency, and creativity on the list of essential ingredients in business success. Indeed, you could argue that these values are at the core of a variety of modern organizational and technical innovations, from DevOps (which is all about collaboration) to open source software (which centers on collaboration and transparency) and the creator/maker movement (which is, of course, all about creativity).

Data Protection Day as it's marked across Europe, or Data Privacy Day, internationally, is an annual marker in a very challenging cybersecurity challenging calendar. Consumer data is regularly stolen, and enterprises and public sector organisations are often in the headlines because of incessant attacks from cybercriminals as well as from accidental privacy misadventures.

As CVE-2021-44228, a.k.a "Log4Shell" or Apache Log4j Remote Code Execution vulnerability continues to send shockwaves across the world of software, many security vendors and practitioners are rushing to provide recommendations on dealing with the crisis. If you need immediate help mitigating the impact of Log4shell, we're here for that. But the goal of this post is to look forward. This isn't the first and won't be the last high-impact vulnerability to be uncovered. So it's worth preparing your organization for the next one, so that you can respond faster, mitigate and remediate sooner - and have fewer weekends like the last one.

If the opinion of every UK business leader was surveyed back in February 2020, it's very likely cybersecurity wasn't at the top of their priority list. Fast forward to December 2021, and the reality is very different. Steep rises in data breaches, ransomware attacks and phishing scams in recent months, means many organisations are frantically trying to bolster their security operations, in a bid to keep pace with the evolving and progressively more complex cyber threat landscape they are now facing heading into 2022.
