The post-quantum world is often described as a doomsday scenario. One of the biggest fears about quantum computing is its ability to break the traditional encryption algorithms that have protected our data for decades.
SaaS vendors are responsible for ensuring the security of their cloud environments, but each customer is responsible for securing their data in those clouds. The best way to secure assets such as business-critical data on the cloud is an account-level backup and recovery tool.
Migrating to quantum resistant algorithms will take years to integrate into existing systems and processes. Organisations need to achieve crypto-agility – the ability to change, improve, and revoke cryptographic assets to successfully deal with quantum threats.
How do technology partners, cloud providers, vendors, distributors, customers and organizations earn trust? There is no simple answer, but compliance standards play a significant role. There can be no trust without transparency, and modern compliance helps organizations make their security practices considerably less opaque.
As regulators get more serious about enforcing data protection rules, the severity of penalties issued against enterprises who fail to secure their customer data continues to grow and there's higher demand for better executive accountability as seen in the recent cases of Uber and Drizly.
From security and efficiency to performance, modern network and application infrastructure challenges are analogous to the methods employed by the TSA, and by extension, the good and bad experiences of travelers everywhere.
While the transition to passwordless security procedures is already underway, adoption is still limited mainly in larger companies in certain industries. There are many steps that can (and should) be taken to accelerate the authentication journey to make passwordless authentication mainstream.
While User Behavior Analytics is about a single baseline for each activity and an analysis of each activity on its own, User Journey Analytics looks at sequences of activities and learns for each user the complete set of typical user journeys in an application. This enables extremely accurate detection.
Credentials are everywhere, they are a demonstrated weak link in organizational security, and malicious actors have demonstrated that they prefer using them over approaches. As a result, credentials are both the best and the last chance to catch adversaries.
Developers have been increasingly targeted by attackers. Compromising a single developer enables attackers to embed malicious code into a company's products. If that product is then used by other companies, the malware can spread to their systems in a supply chain attack.
