Compliance frameworks are notoriously dense and complex, making them difficult to put into action. Compliance is also time-consuming—especially if you’re still attempting manual configuration of your systems, applications, databases and cloud assets. Manual configuration is error-prone and immediately out of date the moment an assessment ends. And a lack of compliance can result in failing audits,...

ICS Security in Healthcare: Why Software Vulnerabilities Pose a Threat to Patient Safety

The lack of healthcare cybersecurity is one of the most significant threats to the sanctity of the global healthcare industry. This is made evident by the fact that in 2020 more than 18 million patient records were affected by successful cyber-attacks on the U.S. healthcare system. Health professionals should not take this issue lightly, as...

What Are the Benefits of Adopting the Cloud in Industrial Cybersecurity?

Cloud adoption has come a long way from its early days where corporate executives questioned the stewardship of their data. The initial suspicions of “where’s my data” have been laid to rest, as administrative tools and contractual obligations have emerged to give better visibility to, and accountability of, data custodianship. Even the capabilities...
