The concept of “security by design” embodies this philosophy, emphasizing that security measures must be integrated into every stage of system development and operations. From cloud environments to software development, network configurations, and beyond, the goal is to preempt vulnerabilities rather than react to breaches.
This article explores security by design, why it matters, and how organizations can effectively implement it to protect their systems, data, and networks.
The increasing sophistication of cyber threats and strict (and complex) regulatory requirements create a professional environment where every player on your team has to know what they can and cannot do. In this regard, training and continuing education are non-negotiable.
This article discusses the critical importance of such training, the evolving threat landscape, and best practices for maintaining cybersecurity proficiency.
Endpoint security has become a critical focus in the cybersecurity strategies of organizations that handle CUI as part of the Defense Industrial Base. CMMC, a DoD-mandated framework, emphasizes robust endpoint protection as integral to meeting compliance and securing national security information. This article delves into the importance of endpoint security under CMMC, the specific control families from NIST SP 800-171 that address endpoint vulnerabilities, and practical measures organizations can adopt.
