Dive into the critical insights of CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog with Bitsight’s latest blog! Discover how KEVs, which signal urgent cybersecurity risks, are being tracked and mitigated across industries. Learn why addressing these vulnerabilities quickly is vital and how it impacts organizational security.
Learn how to reduce the threat of cyber intrusion with a detection and prevention approach grounded in continuous monitoring.
Cyber risk mitigation and remediation are often talked about in the same terms. But they are different. Learn how you can optimize both.
Accelerated by the pandemic, digital ecosystems are expanding. New ways of working remotely, and the rapid adoption of cloud technologies have increased the number of digital touch-points that employees interact with. Unfortunately this expanded attack surface creates new points of exposure that make it difficult for security leaders to pinpoint where cyber risk exists, or when a risk is worth concern.
With the expanding perimeter companies are creating as they move more of their business into the cloud, as well the addition of work-from-home network connections, there is a greater attack surface for hackers to penetrate. Focusing on these three attack surface risk reductions best practices will help security managers protect their programs.
Did you know that the volume of attacks on cloud services more than doubled in 2019? According to the 2020 Trustwave Global Security Report, cloud environments are now the third most targeted environment for cyber attacks. While these incidents are on the rise, migrating to the cloud is no longer optional for many organizations, due to the widespread shift to remote work. In today’s ever-evolving, dynamic security landscape, mitigating risk effectively requires thorough cloud security monitoring and continued visibility into your expanding attack surface.
As cloud services increase in popularity, a worrying cybersecurity trend has emerged. According to the 2020 Trustwave Global Security Report, the volume of attacks on cloud services more than doubled in 2019 and accounted for 20% of investigated incidents. Although corporate and internal networks remain the most targeted domains, representing 54% of incidents, cloud environments are now the third most targeted environment for cyber attacks.
Over the last several years Shadow IT has grown from a minor annoyance into a major threat to business operations. While the term is often used to refer to runaway tech spending by users in marketing or dev-ops or finance, it has in fact become a much larger issue that involves the very core of organizational infrastructure with the potential to pose enormous cyber risk.
