The massive shift to remote work and a continually expanding attack surface has made the concept of trust-based security a naïve one at best, dangerous at worst. But the upshot is that everything we’ve seen and experienced in the past year has helped seed the need for a zero-trust based approach. Let’s look at some of the major trends and factors of the past year and how these risks can be mitigated using a zero trust approach.

As organizations shift IT spending to cloud services, it’s important to prepare for more regulations, a high rate of data loss, and a likely increase in attacks on cloud apps. To plan for these challenges, organizations need visibility and security for software-as-a-service (SaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) clouds. Here are four categories to consider to secure your cloud environments.
Back when threats were only of a physical nature, power plants created and conducted drills to prepare. While a physical attack is still a concern, we must now also consider a digital protection system. Because of the rapid rate of development in this sector, it is imperative that power plant technicians understand both the physical and digital threats they may face.
When it comes to data breach and privacy class actions, plaintiffs will need to prove data was actually misused not just improperly exfiltrated by hackers.
A data security platform can provide a holistic approach by providing key data-centric capabilities that keep data secure from first touch—during data acquisition—through the activities such as data curation and analysis and ultimately to archiving and data destruction.
The Biden cybersecurity executive order maps out how the U.S. government will implement cybersecurity requirements and standards – but it is just the beginning. The federal government won’t be the last entity demanding more security transparency from software vendors and this is likely a sign of what’s to come for any organization creating software in any industry.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Department of Justice’s Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced a new pilot program called “Operation Flashpoint” to build awareness in communities across the U.S. about how to prevent bomb attacks.
Privacy and security become further inextricably linked as consumers’ expectations rise.
