It is arguable that log management forms the basis of modern cybersecurity. Without the detailed access logs provided by internal security tools and systems, organizations would lack the data they needed to make crucial cybersecurity decisions.This blog will review what log management is, the basics of the log management process, and why an enterprise-level log management solution is now par for...

Ransomware attacks can ripple through supply chains, causing serious disruption and massive financial consequences for multiple businesses in one fell swoop. As such, CISOs are spending more time considering how to keep operations secure as ecosystems span across dozens, if not hundreds, of vendors, contractors, and digital dependencies. With this in mind, the UK government has released a...

PCI DSS compliance is often seen as a one-off task, that is, you do the audit, implement controls, and then move on.But then there comes the problem - systems aren’t static, meaning that files, scripts, and configurations change constantly, and even small untracked changes can create gaps that lead to non-compliance or security issues.This is where File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) comes in. It...

According to a new Ponemon study, weak file protections now account for several cybersecurity incidents a year for many organizations.Unsafe file-sharing practices, malicious vendor files, weak access controls, and obscured file activity are largely to blame. File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) could be the solution.Are Files Safe in Transit? More Than Half UnsureYou know something’s wrong when more...

As Fortra’s new File Integrity Monitoring Buyer’s Guide states, “What was once a security control for simple file changes now ensures integrity across organizations’ entire systems.” The landscape has evolved significantly since Fortra’s Tripwire introduced file integrity monitoring (FIM) over twenty years ago.But that’s exactly why the industry is due for a new look at what makes a FIM solution...

Once the frontier of innovation, the cloud has become the battleground of operational discipline. As cloud complexity rises, the most common and costly security threats aren't advanced nation-state attacks. They're internal errors.According to the CSA's Top Threats to Cloud Computing Deep Dive 2025, more than half of reported cloud breaches stemmed from preventable issues like misconfigurations,...

We all know where vulnerability management fits into an overall security strategy; it provides the raw data that analysts use to figure out what’s wrong and what needs to be fixed. The problem is, traditional VM stops there – leaving analysts to do all the work.Today’s companies don’t have the luxury of doing that anymore. Experts are needed on the front lines, not vetting false positives, and VM...

IoT is everywhere, quietly powering everything from smart thermostats in homes to complex systems in industrial networks. While these devices bring incredible convenience and innovation, they also open the door to significant cybersecurity risks, especially in manufacturing and similarly sensitive sectors.The longer devices stay online, the more likely they are to become vulnerable due to outdated...

The frontlines of cybersecurity have long included the financial services sector, but today’s battlefield is increasingly asymmetric. Threat actors aren’t just going after the big-name banks with sprawling infrastructure and billion-dollar balance sheets. They’re targeting credit unions, wealth management firms, fintech startups, and insurance providers with the same determination and ferocity...

Software-as-a-Service adoption is exploding, but security teams are struggling to keep up. The Cloud Security Alliance’s 2025 SaaS Security Survey has revealed that while investment in and attention to SaaS security are on the rise, genuine control remains elusive, especially when it comes to configuration management, identity governance, and visibility.According to the report, most SaaS security...

COBOL remains deeply embedded in the infrastructure of global enterprises, powering critical systems in banking, insurance, government, and beyond. While its stability and processing efficiency are unmatched, legacy environments running COBOL face a growing challenge: Security.As cyber threats evolve and legacy systems continue to age, COBOL-based mainframes present attractive targets due to their...

Picture this: You’re at the supermarket, looking for your favorite brand of cereal. But the shelves are empty, staff are frazzled, and the checkout terminals are flickering ominously. That’s not just a supply chain hiccup, it’s a direct result of the latest wave of cyberattacks targeting the UK’s biggest grocery chains.In 2025, major retailers like Co-op, Marks & Spencer, and Harrods found...
