Cyberthreats have been coming at us from the left, right, and center. The number of cyberattacks is forever on the rise, and companies need to keep ramping up their security measures to protect themselves. It’s important that these measures cover every aspect of a network environment. To understand why monitoring your whole environment is so important, let’s take a look at what an attacker might do once they get inside your organization.

Auth0 provides identity as a service (IDaaS), allowing you to secure your apps and APIs without having to write your own authorization code. Auth0 can work with social identity providers (IdP) like Google and Facebook so your users can access your app by using their existing accounts for authentication. You can also use an existing enterprise identity provider (e.g., LDAP) to allow your users to leverage single sign-on (SSO) across multiple apps.

Kubernetes has become the world’s most popular container orchestration system and is taking the enterprise ecosystem by storm. At this disruptive moment it’s useful to look back and review the security threats that have evolved in this dynamic landscape. Identifying these threats and exploits and being a proactive learner may save you a lot of time and effort…as well as help you retain your reputation in the long run.

MSPs use a variety of powerful IT tools to offer services to their customers and help small businesses compete against larger industry players. When considering whether a business should outsource its IT department to a managed services provider (MSP), the first step is understanding exactly what an MSP is and what it can do. This guide will explain how MSPs support small businesses, the many benefits of enlisting their services, and why they’re important for economic growth.

Even though technology has advanced significantly over the past few decades, hackers and cybercriminals still target large volumes of email messages daily. Some of the biggest types of things that get sent through email include malware, ransomware, trojans, and viruses. These things are often disguised in some sort of “friendly” email message, an embedded link, or a cute kitten meme.

From the outset, Apple has been keen to protect user privacy and security, and deprecating kernel extensions is one of the company’s latest moves towards modernizing its platform. As part of Apple’s sustained effort to make macOS a more reliable and secure platform, the tech giant announced at WWDC 2019 that kernel extensions are going to be replaced in macOS Catalina with Apple’s new technology, system extensions. But, why should you care? Let’s explore now.

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and its successor, Transport Layer Security (TLS) are protocols designed to safeguard traffic over the internet. SSL certificates allow websites to move from HTTP to HTTPS, a more secure communication channel on a network. Starting this September, the lifespan of an SSL/TLS certificate will be limited to 398 days, a reduction from the previous maximum certificate lifetime of 825 days.

There was a time when cyberattacks on identity and authentication infrastructures [like Active Directory (AD)] were immensely challenging to perform. A lot of forethought had to be put into devising a plan for the careful execution of attacks, and advanced technical knowledge of domains and networks was a requisite. Over time, with the advent of open-source pen testing tools, the knowledge gap and the complexities involved to carry out a full-scale cyberattack have narrowed drastically.
