With World Password Day behind us, let’s recap on one of the hottest topics at the moment: the evolution of passwordless authentication. Passwords have been the first line of defence against cyberattacks and essentially, our daily lives for as long as one can remember. Passwords are simple, a comfort zone and everyone’s go-to – but we tend to forget that “everyone” includes hackers and threat actors as well.
Deep packet inspection (DPI), as the name suggests, is a type of network packet filtering and an advanced mode of examining network packets. In DPI, network packets that are transmitted through an inspection point are evaluated.
Are you a network admin who gets overwhelmed by the number of devices they have to manage? We can only imagine the plight you have to go through. Technological advancements have extended the scope of network monitoring.
Squid proxies are among the most popular open-source proxy servers preferred by companies across the globe to keep their networks safe and boost performance. Since Squid proxy’s release in 1996, companies have preferred it for its high-performance proxying, forwarding, and caching functions.
Network monitoring is a challenging job because networks continue to evolve to meet ever-changing client requirements. Businesses today heavily depend on their networks, and even a short outage can lead to penalties and lost profits. This is why your monitoring tool must also transform itself to not only scale as you grow but offer new features that address new challenges posed by the increasing usage demands placed on your network.
The cyber landscape is ever evolving. Organisations have started moving their resources to the cloud excessively to scale up their deliverables. The hybrid work culture and BYOD policies have made an organisation’s network increasingly perimeter-less.
The boom of information technology opened an entirely new world of identities and opportunities. Most users’ journeys in the cyber world started with the creation of an email address. That email address, which served as an online identity, eased communication between two users, breaking location barriers.
Fileless threats are on the rise. These threats occur when cybercriminals use pre-existing software in victims’ systems to carry out attacks, instead of using a malicious attachment or file. More often than not, a criminal’s favourite tool for a fileless attack is PowerShell.
Ransomware has become a significant threat in today’s digital landscape, with cybercriminals using it as an effective means of making money, often with a low cost and high profit margin. Victims rarely recover their stolen data in full, despite promises from the perpetrators, so most of the time paying the ransom is not a viable solution.
In many organisations, IT support seems to follow a corollary of Moore’s Law in which the number of support tickets — rather than the number of transistors — doubles every two years. Even companies that experience slower growth find that tickets ultimately proliferate and threaten to overwhelm their IT support teams if they haven’t kept their ticket management systems and processes up to date.
