Many of today’s cyberattacks are broken into multiple stages of activity, each of which on its own is often difficult to discern as malicious rather than benign. Discernment is even more difficult given the volume of legitimate activity within which it naturally occurs given the diversity of work styles, devices, networks, applications, and cloud-delivery locations. ...
Today’s ransomware is often specifically engineered to bypass traditional, prevention-oriented security controls by distributing campaigns across multiple stages, each increasingly engineered to leverage legitimate applications, communications, and other activities to blend in with normal operations. This sophistication makes it exceptionally difficult for even seasoned security staff to detect attacks in progress amid the high volume ...
Over three-quarters of employees want the option to work from home at least part-time. The ability to support a remote work program can help an organization retain employees and is a crucial component of a business continuity plan. While not every remote worker needs a full corporate environment to do their jobs, some do. For ...
Digital acceleration, defined by initiatives that include ubiquitous connectivity, migration to the cloud, and investment in next-generation networking technologies, has driven many advancements in the IT industry. Wired and wireless networks are no exceptions. The local-area network (LAN) wired and wireless forms the backbone of IT, enabling next-generation applications and increasing user productivity. The LAN ...
The wired and wireless local area network (LAN) forms the backbone of IT. It enables next-generation applications and can boost user productivity. As such, the LAN not only greatly impacts user experience, but is also the beginning or end of many security events. Today’s IT administrators need to build their next-generation networks with a focus ...
To stay competitive, a high-performing network that meets the needs of digital acceleration initiatives is critical. Sometimes it’s difficult to know what to focus on, as there are a lot of different factors that can impact performance, from the architecture chosen, to the age of the equipment, to the client devices. Another key contributor that ...
Today’s networks are expected to do more than deliver connectivity and bandwidth. To optimize performance and enable additional functionality, a network needs to be intelligent. The more intelligent the network, the better it will perform, and the more tasks it can offload from IT teams. A network that has built-in intelligence cuts down on the ...
The rapid growth of personal and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices connecting to enterprise networks has increased the need to have fine-grained control over what is allowed into the network and with what permissions. Network access control (NAC) solutions can ensure only devices that should attach to the network do, and can restrict what they have access ...
According to Gartner’s Case-Based Research, the three most pervasive challenges that AI addresses are lack of detection capability, inadequate security posture, and poor operational efficiency. In many ways, cybersecurity is becoming a big data problem, given the volume and sophistication of cybercampaigns. Fortunately, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) for cyberattack detection is a rapidly ...
Endpoint security solutions range from the original antivirus solutions of yesteryear to extended detection and response (XDR) platforms that tie multiple security solutions together for a better ecosystem. As the needs arise for endpoint security solutions, vendors will attempt to make their solutions match buyer expectations and analyst terms through their messaging but not their ...
According to Gartner, the rapid evolution and sophistication of cyberattacks and the migration of assets to the hybrid multi-cloud create a perfect storm. IT leaders must integrate security tools into a cooperative, consolidated ecosystem using a composable and scalable cybersecurity mesh architecture (CSMA) approach. By 2024, organizations adopting a CSMA to integrate security tools to ...
Ransomware has become a popular weapon in the hands of malicious actors who try to harm governments, businesses, and individuals daily. Ransomware is the final stage of a more complex attack. The security breach could have already happened a long time ago. Considering the range and volume of cyberattacks that organizations face daily, a disjointed ...
