Unlocking the Secrets of Cybersecurity: Deception Technology

In the high-stakes realm of cybersecurity, the game is all about thwarting hackers and safeguarding your most sensitive data. A modern, cutting-edge strategy for cybersecurity is called “Zero Trust,” and it’s revolutionizing security. Instead of relying on a single fortress-like perimeter defense, Zero Trust meticulously guards each resource within your network.

Imagine traditional perimeter cyber defenses as a medieval castle surrounded by a moat. Once an attacker breaches those towering walls, they’re practically free to roam. Now, picture Zero Trust as a bustling airport with multiple security checkpoints before you can even think about boarding a plane.

But here’s the kicker: Even with the most robust security measures in place, no system is foolproof. Even the largest, most compliance-oriented organizations can find themselves in the crosshairs of a determined attacker. When the breach alarm sounds, your next line of defense is crucial. Enter “Deception Technology.”

What is Threat Modelling and why you should be doing it?

Businesses consider risk from many points of view: strategic, financial, compliance, and reputational. One common thread of risk throughout is cybersecurity risk. Unfortunately, cyber threats continuously increase and permeate every facet of the modern digital organization.

Businesses must take proactive steps to protect their sensitive data and assets from cybercriminals. This article provides a simplified guide to cybersecurity Threat Modelling for businesses.

Cyber Insurance: Does Your Organization Need It?

A cyber attack is not just inconvenient and expensive, it can be an existential threat to an organization.

And when that attack comes, who is willing to take on that risk?

Coronavirus: Tips When Working From Home

With the current situation around Coronavirus, many workplaces and venues made a tough and rightful decision to temporarily close their doors (that is to promote social distancing) based on the recommendations from local and federal health authorities.

Last week, we shared our risks and recommendations for businesses in the light of the Coronavirus outbreak. Since many organizations elected to have most of their staff work remotely, we feel it is important to provide a few simple yet essential tips for everyone who is working from home.

New Year New You: 3 Cyber Security Tips for SMBs in 2020

What 2020 will bring directly depends on you… and your perception of cyber security.

We won’t be wrong if we say that large companies with enormous budgets and innovation opportunities have always been a desirable target for cyber criminals.

At the same time, their developed security systems designed to protect against an unauthorized entry strengthen their position in the cyber space (although not 100% of time – that’s a different story).

However, the latest trend is that SMBs are at hackers’ gunpoint nowadays just as (if not more often than) large corporations.
