Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Every security leader is tasked with a difficult balancing act: reducing risk while controlling cost. Cybersecurity budgets aren’t unlimited, and executive teams demand clear justification for every new tool. Data loss prevention (DLP) has often struggled to prove its value in this context. Traditional solutions were expensive to deploy, noisy in practice, and often delivered more frustration than measurable protection.

Zero Trust is a security mindset and architecture that assumes no user, device, or network is inherently trustworthy, requiring continuous verification for every access request. Unlike a single tool or product, it requires a holistic strategy that integrates strong identity controls, such as MFA and least privilege access. Success with Zero Trust hinges on cultural shifts, executive buy-in, and ongoing adaptation to threats that emerge beyond the initial setup.

Everywhere you look, your wrist, your home, your car, smart devices quietly gather data. The Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved from a novelty into the backbone of daily life. From smart thermostats that learn your schedule to industrial sensors tracking performance in real time, connected devices are reshaping how we live, work, and interact. But with that progress comes peril. Each device represents a potential breach point; every upload, update, or firmware oversight can expose personal information.

When company leaders and managers consider their cybersecurity risks, they too often focus on their vulnerability to external threats only. While state-sponsored attacks, phishing attacks, ransomware, and third-party software infiltration are becoming more prevalent in the current threat landscape, it’s important that those potentialities don’t distract attention from the dangers posed by insider threats.

What is the best Threat Detection & Response for cloud-native applications? Traditional EDR isn’t enough for Kubernetes enviorments. Security teams need CADR (Cloud Application Detection and Response), which unifies application, container, Kubernetes, and cloud detection into a single platform that builds complete attack stories instead of siloed alerts. Why doesn’t traditional EDR work for Cloud-Native Applications?

As insider threats become more common, cybersecurity experts need tools that make detecting and preventing them easier. One powerful tool is Splunk, a leading platform for security information and event management (SIEM). In this guide, we’ll explore how to use Splunk to improve your organization’s security against insider threats.

Companies in the finance industry have to look out for a range of insider threats and insider fraud situations, for a number of reasons. There are particular liabilities in play for businesses that deal with financial data. These businesses and institutions are also governed by tighter compliance regulations.
