Just as you would imagine based on its name, Zero Trust requires authentication of each touchpoint connecting to an organization’s network, aiming to transform it into an impenetrable fortress. Regardless of its benefits, even Zero Trust has its limitations and can create friction unnecessarily, which could have a lasting effect on employee productivity and an overextension of security resources. Are there any alternatives? Is there another remedy that can provide a similar level of security as Zero Trust without the friction? Zero Trust 2.0 is the answer.
With today’s threat landscape, security and SAM teams need to work together to understand what is installed across network devices and how those are being used for the best asset protection.
Shifting to a remote environment may have benefitted businesses, but not without introducing new cybersecurity risks. A data-backed strategy can help security leaders manage those risks.
Traditionally, security operations centers (SOC) used tools such as endpoint detection and response (EDR), network detection and response (NDR), and security information and event management (SIEM), but as a result of the rush to remote work, many security teams have found their tools are now blind to many new and emerging threats.
There is a need to rethink enterprise security. User identity has become a critical cybersecurity concern as more remote WFH users have gained secure ID and access to corporate documents and data. A one-problem, one-tool approach to security is no longer sustainable.
We recently surveyed companies across the U.S. about their current cybersecurity challenges now that many have moved to a predominantly remote workforce. Unfortunately, what we found was that most organizations are only scratching the surface when it comes to identity and access management, as they may only be addressing a fraction of what identity can provide. This is leaving many organizations exposed to data breach and compliance fines.
In a new survey, federal executives identified a number of challenges associated with remote work; safely returning to the workplace; and guarding against fraud, waste, and abuse.
nVisium released the findings of their recent research which explores the current state of cybersecurity awareness and security training initiatives within today’s remote workforce. The research reveals that only 35% of respondents classify security awareness training as a ‘top priority’ while working remotely, and nearly half say that their DevOps teams are not experts in understanding how to protect at home wireless networks.
