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...

Security and compliance—a phrase often uttered in the same breath as if they are two sides of the same coin, two members of the same team, or two great tastes that go great together.The truth is, they can be. But it takes some effort.How can security and compliance teams work together to create a winning alliance, protect data, develop according to...

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...

On May 16th, 2025, the Japanese Parliament enacted a landmark piece of cybersecurity legislation: the Japan Active Cyberdefense Law. It was a historic moment for the country's digital defense, empowering law enforcement and military agencies to conduct pre-emptive cyber operations before they materialize.However, the law doesn't just affect Japan's internal security posture; it reflects a global...

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...

As the European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)'s enforcement date approaches (October 2026), cybersecurity requirements on manufacturers, developers, and service providers responsible for software and hardware connected to the internet will need to start thinking - if they haven't already -about what they need to do to comply. It may seem like a long time off, but the earlier you start, the better...

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...

Escalating tensions in the Kashmiri conflict between India and Pakistan illustrate a point the Indian government has been driving home for years; it is time to double-down on securing India's critical financial services.As the cornerstone of the nation's stability, the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector was the focus of India's first Digital Threat Report 2024, and offers a ...

Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) have long served as the front line of defense for web applications, filtering out malicious traffic and enforcing security policies. But as threats grow more sophisticated and application environments become more dynamic, many are questioning whether traditional WAFs are still up to the task. In 2025, with the rise of cloud-native applications, APIs, and machine...

India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 is a turning point in how personal data is regulated, managed, and protected across the country. As every industry becomes more digital, this law makes it clear who owns data and who must protect it.The Act introduces a legal imperative and an operational opportunity for SOC managers, CISOs, DPOs, and IT security teams to revisit how data...

As digital transformation sweeps across the healthcare sector, there has never been more at stake. Healthcare data is worth a lot on the black market. Unlike financial data, which has a short shelf life (accounts can be frozen, and fraud alerts issued), medical records stay fresh for a long time.They contain a host of personal information, like medical histories, insurance data, and payment...
