Endpoints are the doorways to your organization’s data, resources, and other critical information. Unfortunately, cybercriminals are well-aware of these “doorways,” and often use endpoints as entryways for their cyberattacks. Today, the average enterprise uses and manages around 135,000 devices, and this number continues to grow every year. This means that organizations, now more than ever, need to protect their vulnerable endpoints.
With every new device, application and website that your users and employees have to log in to, they have to create a new password. It’s no wonder then that they find this overwhelming. So, what do they do? They create a password that is easy to remember — something like “123456” or perhaps their birth date. Then, to keep it simple, they use the same password over and over again. On top of that, they opt for their browsers and devices to remember these passwords.
Microsoft Azure Key Vault is a cloud-based service designed to help organizations securely store and manage sensitive information such as encryption keys, secrets, and certificates. As more organizations migrate to cloud services, ensuring the security of sensitive data and applications is crucial. In this comprehensive guide, we will discuss Azure Key Vault with a focus on securing Blob Storage, providing how-to guides and best practices.
Today we’re excited to announce the InfluxDB add-on for Ockam Orchestrator. Through the use of the add-on, customers that are using InfluxDB Cloud can use Ockam to improve their security posture by automatically granting uniquely identifiable, least privilege, time-limited credentials for any client that needs to connect to InfluxDB Cloud.
The 5 Biggest Threats: You may have found your business is relying on mobile devices more and more. The computing power of phones and tablets can now equal that of your average desktop computer, but their portability makes them far more useful in a remote working environment. With the number of online communications options available to mobile devices, making a call on a mobile phone is almost an afterthought – but with a cloud business phone system, it is an option that is supported.
By 2030, experts predict that there will be over 40 million connected devices worldwide. These “devices” are a variety of endpoints, such as laptops, smartphones, computers, and more. Businesses and organizations around the world rely on these endpoints to complete tasks, communicate, and access information. In this overview, we’ll go over the different types of endpoint devices and how they affect an IT environment.
Why do we want to eliminate trust? Isn’t trust a good thing that we should foster and grow? And shouldn’t computing platforms trust their end-users, and vice versa? The short answer is no. And I would argue that the very goal of system security has always been to reduce trust.
