Apple events follow a very consistent pattern, which rarely changes beyond the details of the content. This consistency has gradually become its own language. Attend enough events and you start to pick up the deliberate undertones Apple wants to communicate, but not express directly. They are the facial and body expressions beneath the words of the slides, demos, and videos.
I’ve seen a huge increase in the number of questions about cloud providers beyond AWS over the past year, especially in recent months. I decided to write up an overview comparison over at DisruptOps. This will be part of a slow-roll series going into the differences across the major security program domains – including monitoring, perimeter security, and security management. Here’s an excerpt:
To wrap up this series we will bring you through a process of narrowing down the shortlist and then testing products and/or services in play. With email it’s less subjective because malicious email is… well, malicious. But given the challenges of policy management at scale (discussed in our last post), you’ll want to ensure a capable UX and sufficient reporting capabilities as well.
As we continue down the road of Selecting Enterprise Email Security, let’s hone in on the ‘E’ word: Enterprise. Email is a universal application, and scaling up protection to the enterprise level is all about managing email security in a consistent way. So this post will dig into selecting the security platform, integrating with other enterprise security controls, and finally some adjacent services which can improve the security of your email and so should be considered as part of broad…
As we covered in the introduction to our Selecting Enterprise Email Security series, even after over a decade of trying to address the issue, email-borne attacks are still a scourge on pretty much every enterprise. That doesn’t mean the industry hasn’t made progress – it’s just that between new attacker tactics and the eternal fallibility of humans clicking on things, we’re arguably in about the same place we’ve been all along.
It’s 2019, and we’re revisiting email security. Wait; what? Did we step out of a time machine and end up in 2006? Don’t worry – you didn’t lose the past 13 years in a cloud of malware (see what we did there?). But before we discuss the current state of email security, we thought we should revisit what we wrote in our 2012 RSA Guide about email security.
Cloud Security CoE Organizational Models
In the first post of our Cloud Security Center of Excellence series we covered the two critical aspects of being successful at cloud security: accountability and empowerment. Without accepting accountability to secure all the organization’s cloud assets, and being empowered to make changes to the environment in the name of improved security, it’s hard to enforce a consistent baseline of security practices that can dramatically reduce an organization’s…
Forming the Cloud Security Center of Excellence
We spend a lot of time talking to cloud security professionals, basically trying to figure out the best ways to get their jobs done in largely uncharted territory. Cloud technology is evolving at an unprecedented rate, empowering line of business users to move fast and not ask permission from IT or Security. Of course this can result in an unmanaged environment, with many traditional governance models rendered useless by the accessibility and ease…
Things have been good in security. Really good. For a really long time. We can remember when there were a couple hundred people that showed up for the RSA Conference. Then a couple thousand. Now over 40,000 people descend on San Francisco to check out this security thing. There are hundreds of companies talking cyber. VC money has flowed for years, funding pretty much anything cyber. Cyber cyber cyber.
In this year-end/start firestarter the gang jumps into our expectations for the coming year. Spoiler alert- the odds are some consolidation and contraction in security markets are impending… and not just because the Chinese are buying fewer iPhones.
