A zero trust approach to cybersecurity has become the go-to model for many organizations because it embraces a framework that layers nicely across every possible threat vector.
"Catering for different use cases, adding flexibility and achieving cost savings are the driving factors behind the escalating pace of change toward a multi-platform database landscape," said David Gummer, Redgate CPO. "However, the sheer volume of platform choices, with respondents citing usage of 16 different database types, highlights why it's critical that IT teams are upskilled and have the right tools in place.

In this Help Net Security interview, Yoav Nathaniel, CEO at Silk Security, discusses the evolution of cyber risk management strategies and practices, uncovering common mistakes and highlighting key components for successful risk resolution. We hope to find the 'golden' indicator for which risk will eventually lead to a breach, but until that day, security teams need to holistically incorporate several layers of risk factors to determine business risk and drive justifiable communications.
