The Ultimate Guide to Safe Sharing Online

We live in a world that thrives on digital connectivity. According to We Are Social, Canadians are now spending half a day more a month online than they did a year ago.

Vulnerability Scanning vs. Penetration Testing: What’s the Difference?

It amazes me how many people confuse the importance of vulnerability scanning with penetration testing. Vulnerability scanning cannot replace the importance of penetration testing, and penetration testing, on its own, cannot secure the entire network. Both are important at their respective levels, needed in cyber risk analysis, and are required by standards such as PCI, HIPAA, ISO 27001, etc. Vulnerability Scanning vs. Penetration Testing Penetration testing exploits a vulnerability in your system architecture while vulnerability…

White boxes in the enterprise: Why it’s not crazy
