Here we are, back again to another calendar fourth quarter and maybe the same for your business.

But rather than re-hash what we have all lived through leading up to this season, it feels right to have a look at what operations — maybe yours included, are doing to make peak season 2023 a success.
Our glossary page on attack surfaces defined the terms associated with the concept. This post provides information that'll help your organization identify its attack surface.

That risk can’t be eliminated as attack surfaces are always evolving, but it must be carefully managed.

Banning apps is sometimes necessary to protect your organization from malicious or misused applications. In particular, leaky apps can be a significant threat, and identifying and banning them is an essential app security measure. Some organizations choose a more flexible approach by allowing employees to use unsanctioned apps and monitor their usage for suspicious activity.
