FEATURES, INSIGHTS // Network Security
Zero Trust is not simply a product. If someone says it is, they probably either don't know what they're talking about or have watered down their marketing to the point of making it misleading.
By anonymizing their activities and assets, colleges and universities can protect people, data and applications from cyber threats at the network level by making themselves invisible.
Living-off-the-land attacks are effective because they allow attackers to hide their activities in legitimate processes and makes it harder for defenders to detect them. These tools also make attack attribution much harder.
The rise of social engineering tactics as well as risks associated with embedded vulnerabilities in contractor networks makes keeping this technology confidential and out of the hands of adversaries increasingly difficult.
While the sky just may be the limit (or actually, it may not be), when it comes to cybercriminals, three key areas where we expect to see more activity in the coming year are space, digital wallets and esports.
Security must be as agile as today's workforce, ensuring consistent protection and optimal user experience regardless of where a user or device operates.
In order to deliver on the promise of 5G, we need new industry standards for security, testing, and training to proactively combat 5G cyber threats and minimize risks.
For red teams, using an obfuscated network for testing offers the advantage of hiding who is performing the attack and where it is originating, for a more real-life context
Recent changes have resulted in a proliferation of devices and users working from anywhere, which has expanded the digital attack surface and exposed more applications, devices, data, and users to risk.
Zero-trust network access (ZTNA) simplifies secure connectivity by providing seamless, per-use access to applications, no matter where the user or application may be located.
