Ireland’s National Cyber Security Centre points to the ‘Conti’ ransomware variant, which caused the HSE's IT systems to shut down over the weekend.

In parallel with any physical form of identification, digital identities must be protected at all costs to prevent identity theft or fraud.

The cloud has virtually infinite redundancy, storage and compute power, so why reinvent it? True cloud security should be delivered from the cloud itself.

For organisations to continue to thrive in a distributed work environment, they must ensure that security is also modernised to support new realities appropriately.

Microsoft, Shell, GoDaddy, MobiKwik — these are just some of the high-profile company's on the receiving end of sophisticated attacks, writes Bitglass senior director of marketing Jonathan Andresen.

For organisations that would prefer to pace themselves and take a slower, more systematic approach to SASE adoption, a strategy of ‘crawl, walk, run’ is recommended, writes Bitglass regional sales director for ANZ Wayne Neich.

All organisations need advanced threat protection to stop ransomware attacks and ease the impact if they do occur, writes Bitglass CTO Anurag Kahol.

Organisations should monitor all file, app, user and web activity with comprehensive activity logs to uncover the whereabouts of consumers’ data.

With so many people working from home, the corresponding surge in app usage, unmanaged devices, web traffic and accessing internal resources is making security a much trickier prospect.

“I look forward to helping Bitglass change the way people and organisations protect themselves when using the cloud."

Zero trust and SASE work together by converging a least-privilege access strategy with an architecture that simplifies how highly distributed users, BYOD, and cloud resources are secured.

How secure is the public cloud? That’s what many IT and security professionals are asking as data leakage becomes a pressing concern for organisations and their data protection strategies.

When the focus has been on adversaries that develop increasingly complex and sophisticated attacks, tried and true techniques such as compromised credentials continue to be amongst the most potent weapons.

This is our second IT Jam with both Bitglass and Jonathan Andresen, who is the company's senior director of marketing.

Legacy network security solutions built around on-premises architectures cannot support the evolving demands placed on IT, writes Bitglass CTO Anurag Kahol.

Insider threats come from people inside an enterprise, whether they divulge proprietary information with nefarious intentions, or are just careless employees that unwittingly share sensitive data, writes Bitglass product marketing manager Juan Lugo.

Today, TechDay speaks to Bitglass senior director of marketing Jonathan Andresen, who discusses insider attacks and the best solutions and practices to employ to protect organisations and employees.

Enterprises that fail to adapt to the modern business world when it comes to security are likely to fall prey to data breaches and experience a host of other problems, writes Bitglass product marketing manager Will Houcheime.

A report has found 61% of companies had an insider attack in past year.

It comes as rapid migration to cloud and remote working and BYOD scenarios leave organisations increasingly vulnerable to insider attacks as a result of the upheaval caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bitglass designed its SAML relay to allow a cloud access security broker (CASB) to be inserted into the traffic flow between users and cloud services during the login process.

41% of businesses are yet to implement any steps to expand secure access of their remote workforces despite over 75% of employees now working from home.

Data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities within a CASB solution have emerged as the most effective platform to prevent legitimate remote users from accidentally or maliciously sharing business data that could put an organisation at risk.

Bitglass’ 2020 BYOD Report suggests that BYOD and personal device security in organisations still leave much to be desired, even as more organisations adopt flexible BYOD arrangements.
