Hybrid Pathways’ Post

In this week’s Security Sparks, we tackle the changing world of Shadow IT and where we are seeing some growth.  We get into some blind spots, opportunities, and a few reminders on good practices and partnerships. An old topic that needs some dusting off on occasion, to ensure we don’t fall victim to our pasts.  #ciso #cybersecurity #riskmanagment #lessonslearned #cyberhygiene #microsegmentatiom #microservicedefense #shadowit

Sharing this informative short clip, from a former colleague of mine Roland Cloutier, about Shadow IT and its security risks and opportunities. As always, Roland is very insightful! #Cybersecurity should always been taken seriously.   #SecuritySparsk #InfoSecurity #SecurityandFinanceBusinessPartners #riskmanagment #shadowit

With Cisco’s recent acquisition of Splunk, Palo Alto’s acquisition of IBM’s QRadar assets and the merger of LogRhythm and Exabeam, Joe Austin, Director and lead of Arrowpoint Advisory’s Cyber Security practice, considers these three landmark deals that signal growing consolidation in the cyber security market, accelerated by the adoption of AI. This current wave of consolidation is being driven by a growing and complex cyber security landscape. Digital transformation, cloud adoption and the prevalence of AI have created more attack surfaces and more sophisticated threats than ever before.

Palo Alto Networks Looks For Growth Amid Market Shift - The Cyber Express: Palo Alto Networks Looks For Growth Amid Market Shift  The Cyber Express #CyberSecurity #InfoSec #SecurityInsights

It's #2024 and every major #cybersecurity #framework is still harping on about protecting "the #network", like that's a thing which still exists outside of legacy enterprise environments and platform service providers. When are standards bodies going to wake up to the concept of #cloudNative businesses? Where are the frameworks and standards which recognise that modern IT environments have evolved and our security control frameworks need to as well? After the COVID-driven rise of #distributedWork, the mass adoption of cloud services and #zeroTrust principles, concepts like network perimeters, segmentation and trust zones, scanning and monitoring for unauthorised devices or listening network services have ceased to exist in a meaningful way for many businesses - especially in the SMB space. I understand that physical networks are not going away any time soon and they will continue to have a place in large enterprises for the foreseeable future. In those environments these legacy standard will continue to serve us as well as they always have. The problem we face now is that the model for IT services in younger and smaller businesses has diverged to the point of being almost completely incomparable, with totally different risk profiles, and often contradictory best practices. Yet here we are, still trying to enforce and measure cybersecurity the same way we always have. As an industry, it's time we open our eyes to this fundamental shift, and admit that legacy cybersecurity frameworks aren't appropriate for cloud native environments. We need a new, complementary framework that is designed around the concepts which underpin modern IT and business practices - something that an SMB with 5 people can look at and say "yeah that makes sense for us", but which can still scale to hundreds or thousands of users. Cloud native businesses need their own cybersecurity framework.

#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking Security: Transforming Cybersecurity for a Borderless World In an era marked by unprecedented connectivity and digital integration, the traditional boundaries that once defined the realms of cybersecurity are becoming increasingly porous. As organizations expand their digital footprint and embrace cloud technologies, the need for a more robust and adaptive security paradigm has never been more apparent. Enter “Zero Trust Security,” a revolutionary approach reshaping the landscape of cybersecurity to meet the demands of our borderless world. The traditional security model, based on the assumption that threats originate outside the trusted network perimeter, is no longer sufficient. Cyberattacks have evolved, infiltrating systems from within and exploiting the vulnerabilities of interconnected networks. In response to this changing threat landscape, the concept of Zero Trust Security has emerged as a guiding principle for safeguarding sensitive data and systems. At its core, Zero Trust Security challenges the notion of implicit trust within a network. Rather than relying on the outdated idea of a secure perimeter, Zero Trust operates on the principle of “never trust, always verify.” This means that every user, device, and application, regardless of their location, is treated as potentially untrusted until proven otherwise.
