And 75% of businesses state that more than 40% of data stored in the cloud is sensitive? Or that valid accounts are being used to attack your cloud, and these attacks […]
Managing the Unseen Attack Surface
US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) defines “Attack surface” as: The set of points on the boundary of a system, a system element, or an environment where an attacker can try to enter, cause an effect on, or extract data from, that system, system element, or environment. However, this definition is predominantly relevant […]
The Perfect Storm: Lack of Security and Cloud Skills
It is a fact that the security industry suffers from a chronic shortage of skilled employees. This global shortage, which ISC2 estimates at 4 million professionals.
