The connected nature of business environments has increased the severity and frequency of cyberattacks in the insurance sector. Insurance companies face a greater threat than most industries because they deal with sensitive and valuable data stemming from numerous avenues. This has resulted in several high-profile cyberattacks on insurance providers over the past few years.
We are pleased to announce that we have expanded our training offerings with the addition of a brand-new AT&T Cybersecurity Training (ACT) learning portal, which is part of AT&T Cybersecurity Training-as-a-Service.
In the first part of this blog series, we explored deploying Amazon EKS with Terraform, and looked at how to secure the initial RBAC implementation along with securing the Instance Metadata Service. In this second post, we’ll look at more best practices to harden Amazon EKS security, including the importance of dedicated continuous delivery IAM roles, multi-account architecture for Amazon EKS cluster isolation, and how to encrypt your secrets in the control plane.
Anyone who has ever read a vulnerability scan report will know that scanners often include a large number of findings they classify as "Info". Typically this is meant to convey general information about the target systems which does not pose any risk. Many people who read such reports will generally ignore all of the "Info" findings, and focus only on anything labeled "Critical" or "High". However, this can be dangerous for a number of reasons.
Wireshark is a free open source tool that analyzes network traffic in real-time for Windows, Mac, Unix, and Linux systems. It captures data packets passing through a network interface (such as Ethernet, LAN, or SDRs) and translates that data into valuable information for IT professionals and cybersecurity teams. Wireshark is a type of packet sniffer (also known as a network protocol analyzer, protocol analyzer, and network analyzer).
A bipartisan Senate bill would require some businesses to report data breaches to law enforcement within 24 hours or face financial penalties and the loss of government contracts. The legislation from Senate Intelligence Chair and Democratic Senator Mark Warner with Republican Senators Marco Rubio and Susan Collins is just one of several new cybersecurity bills that will likely be debated this year. If passed, the bill could require certain U.S.
IT/OT convergence is an oft-repeated term, and maybe it’s the wrong term. From a technology standpoint, IT/OT convergence has been occurring since at least the 1990s when HMI/Operator Stations began running on Windows and when Ethernet began displacing deterministic custom LAN protocols in the OT realm. This technology convergence has continued with networking, cybersecurity, virtualization, edge, zero trust, etc.
The need to employ data governance over sprawling repositories is essential in any industry, but it is especially important for the life sciences. The amount and types of data produced are not easily reviewed and organized. The value and sensitivity of the data makes it a lucrative target for cyber attacks. Egnyte’s data governance features give you more control over your data integrity, data privacy, and data security policies across a multitude of public cloud repositories.
