Don’t make hackers at home for the holidays
While you’re home for the holidays this year, you may have some unwelcome guests…on your organization’s infrastructure.
While you’re home for the holidays this year, you may have some unwelcome guests…on your organization’s infrastructure.
The latest news that the notorious Nobelium hacker group flooded at least 140 resellers and technology providers worldwide with software supply chain attacks is no surprise. It is just the next generation of these rapidly rising waves of attacks that have been progressing in their sophistication for more than a decade now:
Digital transformation reached an inflection point over the past year. To meet the demands of the “New Normal” brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, enterprise organizations had to turbocharge adoption of new processes and product development far ahead of even the most ambitiously planned timelines for digital transformation.
Most organizations don’t have the time or resources to keep up with the security patches for all the products they have within their infrastructure. All it takes is one missed patch on a single product for hackers to exploit that vulnerability and gain carte blanch to your entire infrastructure.
Most enterprise security teams in the past managed mobile access to their hybrid network resources for around 20% to 30% of their employees, scattered across a dozen or so offices.
In the first blog post of our series looking at cost optimization, we examined what is driving the dynamic shift in IT budget priorities as organizations adapt to our New Normal. That post kicked off this series on how Zero Trust Access can cost-effectively secure and manage access to all your resources – local and cloud.
Talk about your budget blues: due to the pandemic, Gartner recently cut its Global IT Spending Outlook for 2020. Instead of the 3.4% growth for the year the analyst firm was predicting back in December 2019, it now expects spending to drop dramatically, by 8%.
2020 was the year of the “New Normal.” But what happens after the New Normal is over? What happens in the “Next Normal?”
The world changes, the world evolves, and the risks change as well…the risks that we keep our eyes on the most now are cyber risks; that’s really where the risk is now, rather than something that looked like the global financial crisis.
With the pervasive need for Zero Trust concepts to be applied throughout the environment, scalability of the capabilities is essential. Access control decisions that may have only occurred once for each access previously will now be performed continuously as access to the resource is used, requiring a robust infrastructure for making, enforcing, and then logging these access decisions.
