Since the introduction of cloud computing, more and more companies have been flocking to cloud computing, because it has proven to be cost effective and inherently more secure than on premise data centers. However, no one has ever claimed that making switch magically happens by pressing a button. Cloud computing needs to be properly managed and configured. Processes and policies that protect the data and applications that reside in the cloud need to be developed and continuously monitored to stay within best practices.

Cyber attacks are becoming more advanced with each year, as indicated by the increase in data breaches. According to a Risk-Based Security report, 2019 might break a new record, with more than 3,800 breaches, and still counting. 

Threat hunting aims to help reduce the number of breaches. Some security analysts even take threat hunting as far as infiltrating the dark web, all to ensure they are the first to discover a new attack type. Read on for an overview of the state of cybersecurity, and key threat hunting tips for 2020.

Traditional, downloadable, applications are becoming less common as cloud services expand. Instead, organizations and consumers are turning to programs they can use from any connected device: web applications. Web applications allow organizations to accommodate remote workers, as well as access a globalized market of connected customers. However, these applications require that services be constantly accessible and that data transfer is secure. An application breach or service inaccessibility can cause significant impacts to you and your customers.

cybersecurity, Mobility

Since its introduction in the early 2000s, Bluetooth technology has been helping people to connect their devices and share data seamlessly. Wireless microphones and headphones, for example, are there because of Bluetooth. But is Bluetooth technology safe?

Well, as you could be aware, Bluetooth connection and internet connections in their entirety have their vulnerabilities. This is particularly so because data thieves are everywhere these days, all waiting to pounce on unsuspecting smartphone users. Yet, engineers are constantly looking forward to ensuring the safest devices and programs for their users, thereof they have focused on java programming, as one of the safest coding languages that are less prone to hacking. Given its popularity, there are many companies that provide java programming services that would accommodate every request. However, in this post, we will focus on the potential Bluetooth security risks and how you can mitigate these risks.

Developing Cybersecurity Muscle Memory with Table Top Sessions

cybersecurity, Network Security

Anything that’s difficult takes time to master, or at least become competent, and it requires constant training and being pushed in situations which will sharpen your reflexes. This is the predominant reason why we perform cybersecurity tabletops in order to improve our reaction time regarding security incidents and breaches. During these situations there’s much more than the technical aspect that needs to be considered and if the entire organization isn’t moving in tandem, mistakes will be made. Organizations as a whole need to live this experience, even if it’s just a tabletop, in order to understand the ramifications of where you might have blinders on from a maturity standpoint. This consistent role playing, aimed to force all levels of participant’s out of their comfort zone, is used to create that tempered muscle memory on how to react to incidents without question.
