Mobile device management (MDM) is essential security software for effectively overseeing and protecting mobile devices that companies deploy to their personnel. Whether the smartphones, laptops, and tablets are under multiple mobile service providers or operating systems, the MDM can manage their operations.
In an era where cybercrime is on the rise, one of the most critical roles to a company’s safety is the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). However, as businesses continue to seek outsourced solutions for all matters of information technology (IT) and cybersecurity, many are turning to external, virtual CISOs (vCISO) to oversee company IT. Given the central position and wide-reaching influence of a company’s CISO, virtual CISO advantages for executives extend well beyond analogous benefits and ROI of other managed IT services.
Years ago, planning and executing a cyberdefense strategy was much simpler than it is today. A big reason digital assets are harder to protect boils down to the endpoints on which they’re stored and accessed, which now includes desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, and other Internet of Things (IoT) devices. That’s why finding a quality endpoint management solution is the key to keeping your company and its stakeholders safe.
Companies seeking out lucrative contracts with the US Department of Defense (DoD) need to bolster their cybersecurity to protect our servicemen and citizens, abroad and domestically. To do so, they need to achieve compliance with the Cybersecurity Model Maturity Certification (CMMC), a framework published by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, also known as OUSD(A&S). Employing network security monitoring best practices is a crucial component of CMMC compliance and, ultimately, working with the DoD.
One of the most basic and essential protections for any business or personal computer is antivirus software. Malware and viruses have always been one of the main vectors of cyberattacks, and that is no different entering the third decade of the 20th century. Per Forbes, computer viruses posed a bigger threat in 2020 than could have been expected due to the new cyber-reality the pandemic created. In which case, managed antivirus services are more critical than ever.
The introduction of IoT networks has dramatically boosted the connectivity and output of many organizations.
This boost has caused an explosion in IoT devices, and IoT networks have become widespread across many business ecosystems. Coupled with the transition into industry 4.0, we can only expect this trend to continue, as the success of an industry 4.0 transition relies on the use of IoT devices and networks. The benefits of IoT adoption are clear. However we must not rush into widespread adoption without considering the security ramifications.
For companies looking to optimize their cybersecurity and ward off cybercrime threats, there is no more essential position to consider than that of the chief information security officer, also known as the CISO. However, as businesses gradually come to outsource more of their information technology (IT) and functionalities to service providers, virtual CISO consulting services, also known as vCISO, have become a compelling option. This article will break down everything you need to know about vCISO.
Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.
Teaching is a tool often undervalued in a fast-paced business environment.
But when it comes to security, you must take your time and understand what is needed; preparation prevents poor performance.
A chief information security officer (CISO) holds immense responsibility and power in today’s workforce. That’s why one of the most important considerations when building your company’s cyberdefense infrastructure is whether there’s a significant return on investment (ROI) in comparatively low vCISO pricing rather than full-time, executive-level staffing. In the sections below, we’ll help you understand the trade-off so you can decide if it’s right for your enterprise.
Cloud security is an essential aspect of cybersecurity. Organizations must begin to aggressively take advantage of cloud technology to store, backup, and protect their sensitive data against malicious actors’ activities. You can take the data security of your business to another level with managed IT cloud services.
