Cloud configuration remains a critical priority for organizations leveraging cloud services, which today, is practically universal. Cloud misconfigurations, in turn, can lead to security vulnerabilities and compliance issues. That’s why it’s more important than ever for organizations to get this fundamental security function right. Here’s what you need to know about cloud misconfiguration, from what causes it to how to remediate it when it does occur. ‍

Malicious cyber activity is intensifying at an unprecedented rate. The infrastructure that offers the convenience of working from multiple workstations, mobile devices, and home computers is a double-edged sword, increasing the total attack surface and complexity of securing these environments.

Mobile devices are an indispensable part of our modern lives. While twenty years ago most people just used their phones to make phone calls, today they serve an ever-growing number of purposes. They still keep us connected, of course, but they also allow us to be more productive anywhere we go. That increase in accessibility is why enterprise mobile security is just as essential as the devices themselves.

VPNs were once the go-to method for organizations offering remote access, but they’re no longer up to the task. As organizations adapt to a more mobile workforce and the growing use of BYOD and SaaS applications, they are increasingly turning to advanced solutions that can meet their evolving security needs more effectively. This blog will explore why now is the time to consider VPN alternatives that will strengthen your organization’s security posture. ‍

When it comes to the world of cybersecurity, vulnerabilities are everywhere, just waiting to be exploited. Vulnerability management is the systematic process of identifying, assessing, prioritizing, and mitigating security vulnerabilities in IT systems, applications, and networks. It aims to reduce the risk of exploitation by continuously monitoring for weaknesses and applying necessary security measures.

Mobile devices are now an integral part of the way we work, and because of that, mobile security has become a necessity when it comes to protecting an organization’s data. Yet with many IT and security teams already stretched to the limit, the task of incorporating mobile security into their existing operations may seem like an impossible task.

When it comes to how employees get work done, personal devices are an ever-growing part of the equation. The 2023 Lookout State of Remote Work Security Report found that 92% of remote workers have performed work tasks on their personal mobile devices. While putting security controls on employer-owned devices is a no-brainer, the increasing overlap of personal with professional means that organizations need to think about how to secure employee-owned devices that are being used for work.

Data leaks are a growing concern for organizations due to the rising volume of sensitive information stored digitally. Leaks occur when sensitive data is inadvertently exposed, and they can easily lead to cyber attacks, reputational damage, and enormous financial costs. The best way to protect against them is to stop them from occurring in the first place. In this blog, we’ll delve into the common causes of leaks and best practices to bolster data security and prevent data leaks effectively. ‍

Social engineering attacks have become increasingly sophisticated and diverse in today's digital-first world. Attackers have a toolbox full of tactics to manipulate individuals and organizations into revealing sensitive information or granting unauthorized access. By understanding the different types of social engineering attacks, you can better protect yourself against these manipulative techniques.

Modern organizations know that protecting their data is absolutely critical. That’s where cloud security compliance comes in. Satisfying regulatory standards helps organizations protect against unauthorized access and data breaches, as well as other security incidents. Beyond protecting data, compliance also protects organizations from the legal implications and financial effects of attacks.
