Having direct visibility into your access data is crucial for two reasons: 1. Simplifying audit preparation and 2. Managing progress of your identity program to ensure peak performance.

Gaining access to real time data creates a great deal of autonomy fo...

Incredibly, the seemingly simple task of managing corporate-owned devices is still a struggle for most organizations in 2023. Maybe best MDM for Mac doesn't work with Windows, or the best MDM for Windows doesn't work with Mac. Maybe neither have Linux support. Perhaps they don't provide enough insight into the endpoint, or control over it. Whatever the case, security leaders never seem satisfied w...

Email impersonation is a key component of credential phishing, advance fee fraud, hybrid vishing, and business email compromise schemes. Because email impersonation scams rely on social engineering rath...

The traditional concept of the CISO may literally be 'too much', according to Nathan Case. It's based on systems of control and unrealistic assumptions that don't survive contact with real life.

How can CISOs still look good and maintain the org's trust under the worst of circumstances? In this interview, Jules will tell us how. Zer...

InfoSec might have a hoarding problem, but it's easy to understand why. It's almost impossible to know what logs you're doing to need, when you're going to need them, or for what reason. SIEM vendors have taken advantage of these InfoSec data FOMO tendencies, however, and are making a killing charging a premium for storage - even when the storage in question is your own on-prem hardware. There ARE...
