Connecting all your company resources in a network for sharing is valuable, but you need a way to verify that only authorized users and devices can access these resources. Authentication serves this purpose by providing methods for users and devices to prove their identity. In Windows environments, two main authentication protocols are used: NTLM (New Technology LAN Manager) and Kerberos. In this article we will discuss NTLM vs Kerberos and show why it is important to implement Kerberos if possible.

The latest iteration of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) just came into force, and there is much to discuss about how security professionals can get up to speed on meeting its requirements.

Certifications validate a professional’s knowledge and skills. As a result, they enhance career prospects by establishing credibility that individuals are equipped to handle evolving cyber threats.

Many PowerShell scripts are designed to run unattended, so it is vital to ensure that they can handle errors smoothly. Proper error handling helps prevent a wide variety of issues, from incomplete operations and system downtime to data loss. Error handling needs to account for both terminating errors, which stop script execution, and non-terminating errors, which allow the script to continue running but can affect the output.

Organizations today collect and generate enormous volumes of sensitive data. Much of it is stored in SQL Server databases, making SQL Server security management crucial for protecting critical applications and services. Implementing strong Microsoft SQL Server security measures helps organizations defend against cyber threats and comply with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.
