World’s First 5G Clean Network Takes Flight
Imagine lightning-fast multi-Gbps peak data speeds, zero latency, enormous network capacity, and a uniform user experience regardless of the physical location of your device. Thanks to the 5G wireless technology, this fantasy of avid data consumers is on the verge of turning into a full-fledged reality as 5G compatible devices slowly make their way into […]
Cyber Threat Intelligence, a.k.a. The Art of War
Cybersecurity is a thriving industry, both from the protection and prevention perspective and the threat actors and their growing arsenal. The good guys face a seemingly endless number of challenges. At times, it can seem impossible. Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is the best solution to address the growing number of bad actors, the enormous amount […]
Why Apple has security built into their hardware?
As we move deeper into the Information Age, security measures are evolving to secure our more widely dispersed data and identities. Gone are the days of only looking for the “https” in URLs. We can no longer feel secure seeing a lock symbol next to the URL in the browser. Carefully “blocking the view” when […]
Protecting Users, Data and Apps with a Cloud Security Gateway
If you’ve ever seen a “blocked page” screen while surfing the Internet at the office, your company uses URL filtering. IT has the responsibility to maintain a “blacklist” of URLs or search terms. This blacklist blocks access to pages that violate company policies or may contain malware. URL filtering occurs at the basic level, but […]
Safely Directing Network Traffic
Strict DNS security measures protect against malware attacks When we reference a website or a network server, we use (mostly) readable names, not the destination Internet Protocol (IP) address. Names are easier to remember and share. Imagine if we didn’t use domain names. “Check out today’s graphic on 172.217.2.238!” All network-connected devices (i.e., computers, smartphones, […]
The Secret of Cybersecurity Compliance
Cyber threats are lurking everywhere, and malicious actors are always ready to exploit an organization’s vulnerabilities and weak points. Making your organization cybersecurity compliant is an integral way to protect the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information. Cybersecurity Compliance means adhering to various regulatory controls and guidelines to safeguard data. These controls vary from industry […]
Zero Trust Network Access
Security in most organizations is focused on keeping intruders out. Cyberattacks have become much more precise in their methods, and we can no longer explicitly trust our own people – those on the inside. In an article published by CSO Online, contributing writer Kary Pratt described Zero Trust as, “The Zero Trust model of information […]
Wolves Among the Sheep
The Importance of Network Encryption in Protecting our Privacy Are you aware that shepherding is still an occupation today? The demand is less due to modern ranching practices and a reduction in natural predators, but there are still shepherds watching over their herds as they roam the pastures. The occupation arose to protect the sheep […]
Autonomous Threat Prevention
When it comes to enterprise security, prevention is better than cure. A recent study conducted by the University of Maryland confirmed that threat actors attack every 39 seconds, averaging 2,244 times a day. The insurgence of cybercrimes is forcing organizations to re-evaluate their security strategies. In the purely digitized world of today, a growing influx […]
Preventing Compromised Credentials and Insider Threats
Compromised accounts and insider threats are the main ingredients behind most data breaches of today. Breached credentials are an easy and inconspicuous way of penetrating accounts and getting access to personal user data. According to Cybersecurity Insiders’ 2020 Insider Threat Report, 63% of organizations believe that privileged IT users cause the biggest threat to security. […]
Unique Security Challenges with the Convergence of IT/OT
By the end of 2023, security and risk management (SRM) leaders will need to adjust their OT cybersecurity solutions because 60% of today’s point solution OT security providers will have been rebranded, repositioned or bought, or will have disappeared – Gartner IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology) were two separate domains until recently when […]
Block Zero-Day Threats with Cloud-Based Sandboxing
When it comes to threat prevention and mitigation, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution. The legacy anti-malware techniques gained a lot of popularity over the years, but they come with their share of glitches. Most anti-malware and anti-ransomware solutions rely on signatures and common threat indicators for threat detection and are not […]
No One Crosses the Line, The Technology Used in Next-Gen Cloud Firewalls
A firewall serves one purpose. It denies passage. IT firewalls are put in place to prevent unauthorized access to a network. In the past, a network firewall was a separate piece of hardware installed at the entry point. All incoming traffic was checked at the firewall, and only friendly traffic was allowed to pass through […]

Automatic eSIM Provisioning and Activation
With the wide adoption of eSIM technology, the dreaded SIM swapping phenomena is finally coming to an end. The term “eSIM” simply stands for an embedded SIM card or chip which requires no physical swapping. This tiny embedded chip works in a similar fashion to the NFC chip that is widely used for Apple Pay […]
Multi-Cloud Networking Simplified
“Most organizations adopt a multi-cloud strategy out of a desire to avoid vendor lock-in or to take advantage of best-of-breed solutions.” Michael Warrilow, VP Analyst, Gartner The ever-expanding cloud services, the looming threat of data loss, unplanned downtime, and improper distribution of computing resources are all pushing organizations to avoid cloud vendor lock-ins. More […]
Protection from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks
A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is an intentional attempt to consume the resources of a network, website, service, or application. A tangible example is a large crowd of people blocking the entrance to a store, preventing anyone from entering. If no one can enter the store, service is denied. A DDoS attack is […]
