Cyber threats are getting smarter and are going after businesses of all kinds. Your first line of defense against these threats should be network firewall security, which protects your private data and systems. By filtering data based on set security rules, firewalls create a wall between trusted internal networks and untrusted external ones. A study from Cybersecurity Ventures says that by 2025, cybercrime will cost the world $10.5 trillion every year.

The payment industry is bracing for the transition to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) 4.0, heralding significant changes in cybersecurity practices. As we approach the implementation of this revised standard, a critical focal point emerges: the role and new mandate of web application firewalls (WAFs) in ensuring compliance.

It's been two decades since the introduction of virtual private networks (VPNs), and they are still the go-to solution for many organizations that need to connect remote users to company resources. But while VPN technology remained relatively static — grounded on the principle that your resources are primarily located on a corporate network — remote work requirements have changed dramatically.

A recent news article from Bleeping Computer called out an incident involving Japanese game developer Ateam, in which a misconfiguration in Google Drive led to the potential exposure of sensitive information for nearly one million individuals over a period of six years and eight months. Such incidents highlight the critical importance of securing cloud services to prevent data breaches.

Over the last few years, the evolution of cybersecurity strategies has seen a significant shift toward a more layered, nuanced, and, in many cases, advanced approach. Among these advancements, Network Detection and Response (NDR) has emerged as a critical component that continues to become more widely recognized and accepted across the industry for its efficacy in bolstering cybersecurity defenses.

We have worked closely with Cisco for many years in large complex environments and have developed integrations to support a variety of Cisco solutions for our joint customers. In recent years we have seen an increased interest in the use of Cisco Meraki devices by enterprises that are also AlgoSec customers. In this post , we will highlight some of the AlgoSec capabilities that can quickly add value for Meraki customers.

Enterprises often find themselves tethered to complex and inflexible network architectures that impede their journey towards business agility and operational efficiency. Secure Access Service Edge, or SASE, a term coined by Gartner in 2019, defines a newer framework that converges enterprise networking and security point solutions into a single, secure, cloud-native, and globally distributed solution that secures all edges.

Jeremiah Cornelius, Technical Lead for Alliances and Partners at AlgoSec, discusses how Cisco Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator (NDO) users can achieve policy-driven application-centric security management with AlgoSec.

Every time you deploy a new Cisco device, whether to handle network growth or as part of a product refresh cycle, someone needs to configure it to meet your unique needs. But configuring switches or routers is not a one-time event — support teams often need to add a new VLAN, change an access port to a trunk or add a new route to the routing table.
