Interest in zero-trust security has heightened significantly over the past two years among organizations looking for better ways to control access to enterprise data in cloud and on-premises environments for remote workers, contractors and third parties.Several factors are driving the trend, including increasingly sophisticated threats, accelerated cloud adoption and a broad shift to remote and hybrid work environments because of the pandemic. Many organizations have discovered that traditional security models where everything inside the perimeter is implicitly trusted, does not work in environments where perimeters don’t exist and enterprise data and the people accessing it are increasingly distributed and decentralized.To read this article in full, please click here

Enterprise interest in Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) has soared over the past two years among organizations trying to enable secure anywhere, anytime, any device access to IT resources for employees, contractors and third parties.Much of this interest has stemmed from organizations looking to replace VPNs as the primary remote access mechanism to their networks and data. But it is also being driven by organizations seeking to bolster security in an environment where enterprise data is scattered across on-premises and multi-cloud environments, and being accessed in more ways than ever before.To read this article in full, please click here

Paying ransom to a cyber extortionist holding enterprise data hostage might seem like a poor idea in principle but sometimes it might the best, or even only, option for extricating your organization from a crisis.Seventy percent of businesses hit in ransomware attacks have paid to resolve the problem, half of them over $10,000 and 20 percent over $40,000, a recent IBM survey of 600 corporate executives showed. Nearly six in 10 indicated they would be willing to pay a ransom to recover data.If your organization happens to be among those willing to consider a ransom payment, it is a good idea to devise a strategy for negotiating with the attackers before the need for it actually arises.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here(Insider Story)
The recent spate of data breaches at major U.S. organizations has raised questions about how effective current security tools and approaches are when it comes to dealing with emerging threats.
Private and public enterprises have spent tens of billions of dollars to bolster security over the past decade, yet malicious attackers consistently succeed in evading whatever roadblocks are thrown their way.
