Cybersecurity leaders already know the importance of a data loss prevention (DLP) solution. They also know DLP has its limits. As cloud applications have grown more common, they’ve introduced gaps in the DLP shield. SaaS apps present new opportunities for data leakage, accidental sharing, and insider threats. To plug those gaps, you need a cloud access security broker (CASB).

In the modern cloud landscape, the question isn’t whether or not you need a cloud access security broker (CASB) — it’s how to choose the right one and implement it effectively. Malicious attacks are on the rise, and so are remote and hybrid workforces, making it more important than ever to be proactive about data security.

What is DSPM? Data Security Posture Management, or DSPM refers to the practice of assessing and managing an organization’s overall data security posture. It involves monitoring, evaluating, and continuously improving the effectiveness of data security controls and measures in place to protect sensitive information. What is Data Security Posture Management? It provides a holistic view of an organization’s data security status and helps identify vulnerabilities, gaps, and areas for improvement.

Now that we’ve introduced Elastic Cloud encryption at rest and walked you through setting it up in AWS and Azure, it’s time to get you set up in Google Cloud. In this final blog of the series, we will explain how encryption at rest works with Google Cloud Key Management Service (KMS) and then show you how to apply a Google Cloud KMS key to an Elastic Cloud Hosted deployment for encrypting data and snapshots at rest.

You can detect spyware on an Android phone by recognizing the following signs: your phone suddenly becomes slow, the battery drains quickly, unfamiliar apps appear, it overheats frequently, you receive strange messages or it makes weird noises during phone calls. Spyware is a form of malware installed onto your device without your knowledge. Once spyware is installed, a cybercriminal can spy on you and collect private information like passwords or credit card numbers.

As the Internet grows, so do the demands for speed and security. At Cloudflare, we’ve spent the last 14 years simplifying the adoption of the latest web technologies, ensuring that our users stay ahead without the complexity. From being the first to offer free SSL certificates through Universal SSL to quickly supporting innovations like TLS 1.3, IPv6, and HTTP/3, we've consistently made it easy for everyone to harness cutting-edge advancements.

As organizations adopt a “digital-first” mentality, APIs have essentially become the backbone of modern applications, providing seamless integration between services, platforms, and third-party systems. For businesses, APIs help streamline processes and for consumers, APIs enable smooth and easily accessible digital services. However, an increased reliance on and growing number of APIs has also made them prime targets for cyberattacks.

Disruptive technologies have a learning curve in the pace of adoption and implementation. Training and education tend to follow a slower schedule and can have a hard time keeping up with discoveries happening on the bleeding edge. This is part of what led to the current cloud security skill gap. The cloud transformed software development, accelerating innovation and the pace of human creativity. But, we now know that it also formed new security challenges.
