With so many recent high-profile breaches accomplished through the compromise of passwords on privileged accounts, it's time all cybersecurity stakeholders got educated. Where do privileged accounts reside throughout the IT environment?
In this Help Net Security video, CEO/CISO Josh Sokol, showcases SimpleRisk, a fully integrated GRC platform that can be used for all of your governance, risk management, and compliance needs. If you're at Black Hat USA 2022, you can learn more about SimpleRisk.
Kubernetes security is essentially a collection of techniques, strategies, and technologies created to protect the Kubernetes platform and the containers it handles. Kubernetes security addresses three main concerns: the K8s API, best practices for pod container security, and the 4 C's of cloud-native security, namely container, cluster, code, and the cloud itself.
The legacy approach to attack surface management falls short of what modern organizations require: contextual awareness. Security teams increasingly suffer from threat intelligence sensory overload while still unable to achieve the visibility they need to protect the organization, its infrastructure, and mission critical digital assets.
An incomplete identity management strategy has a serious impact on the success of digital transformation, as well as increasing cyber risk exposure. Identity data plays a fundamental role in this, and achieving impactful results is all but impossible without effective identity management.
Nothing ever stays the same for long in IT. New ways to meet the changing requirements of businesses are constantly needed alongside in-house structural and policy reforms, plus the added complication of complying with new and updated regulations. For busy IT staff there isn't always the time to comprehensively strip everything back to build in the new.
Most IT infrastructures evolve over time as the needs of the business and its users change to meet fresh demands and comply with updated organizational policies and regulatory requirements. Because IT staff rarely have the time to orchestrate root and branch transformations, they generally end up layering additional tools and applications on top of, or alongside, the ones they already have to smooth the transition.
As an experienced vulnerability management professional and a former system administrator who specialized in patching and remediated 800,000 vulnerabilities over the course of my career, I can offer some realistic perspective on this topic. One reoccurring discussion I've had is how long it takes for a new vulnerability to get exploited.
Although guidance from the White House and CISA advising on this heightened risk for U.S. businesses and the increase in the proposed budget for cybersecurity within the federal government signals that more resources are needed to properly defend against these risks, this does not necessarily translate to more IT budget or security staff within most organizations in the private sector. Prioritizing the modernization of aging technology stacks will be essential to mitigate rising cybersecurity vulnerabilities and ensure the security of the organization's critical systems and applications from malicious cyber campaigns.
