October 2023 marks the 20th anniversary of Cybersecurity Awareness Month. The initiative is spearheaded by the U.S. National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA). It is a collaboration between these U.S. government agencies and industry to raise awareness about cybersecurity, the risks we face from digital crime and cyberattacks, and how to protect ourselves from them. This year, the campaign promotes four key behaviors to strengthen cybersecurity.

Directories, particularly your Microsoft directories, are where it all starts.

In the ever-changing world of cybersecurity, Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are responsible for building comprehensive threat detection strategies for their environments. A key indicator of success for any SOC team is their level of security coverage, which correlates with the breadth, depth, and accuracy of their threat detection tools and workflows.
