Zero trust: The next evolution in cybersecurity

As the number of connected devices continues to grow, so does the vulnerability of networks to cyber-attacks. The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has exponentially expanded the attack surface for cybercriminals. Traditional perimeter-based security models are no longer sufficient in this environment, leading to the adoption of a more comprehensive security framework: zero trust. What is zero trust? At its core, zero trust operates on a…

Managing the invisible risk of non-human identities

In the dynamic world of cybersecurity, identity and access management (IAM) is a pivotal foundation. Ensuring that only authorized individuals and systems can access company resources is imperative. Unfortunately, while many organizations excel at managing human identities, they often need to pay more attention to a growing and potentially more hazardous category of digital actors known as non-human identities (NHIs). These unseen entities, which include service accounts, APIs, bots, and more, are rapidly multiplying, leading…
