Cybersecurity tips for business became the rally cry in recent months as enterprises increasingly embraced the idea of remote work partly because of the COVID-19 pandemic. To ‘Work from Home’ (WFH) means to work remotely as opposed to commuting to work in an office. Enterprises embraced the flexible WFH model to ensure business continuity even as mobility and activities are crippled in this COVID-19 era.

How to Build and Maintain Proper Data Center Security
Consumers and employees expect access at all times, which relies on data centers operating 24/7. But if data center security measures aren’t strong, operational reliability is called into question.
Over the years, the methods for establishing, monitoring, and upkeeping data centers should have evolved as technology did. Yet, a 2018 Gartner report found that approximately 70 percent of data center networking tasks are performed manually, which increases time, cost, and the likelihood of errors, and reduces flexibility.
Foregoing automation and other new safeguards in exchange for outdated methods put data centers at risk. Learn about the critical data center security requirements that will keep hackers out now – and well into the future.

Elements to a Great Network Diagram
Network diagrams form the blueprints for security programs in the 21st Century. Unfortunately, creating and maintaining these network architecture diagrams has become the IT equivalent to bookkeeping – it’s a fairly simple task that few people enjoy.
To be fair, documenting one’s network is tedious. Also, today’s fast-paced digital environment requires most businesses to expand rapidly. Digital transformation – on any level – significantly increases a company’s attack vectors. According to Forbes Insights:

Basics of Third-Party Risk Management in Healthcare
In today’s world, many businesses are mobilizing their workforces. More and more services are being outsourced to external organizations, and it’s no different in healthcare. But that process also entails many risks, as even the most careful company often can’t account for every loophole in its vendors’ defenses. That’s why third party risk management in healthcare is absolutely vital for everyone.

What is an Information Security Program Plan?
Modern day IT ecosystems are complex. Vast swaths of data need to seamlessly move throughout the networks’ applications, databases, and servers in a fast and secure manner. That data—especially the sensitive data—must be protected at all costs. This is what information security program plans are designed to accomplish.

Top 5 Types of Penetration Testing
The escalating threat of hackers grows more serious each day. A TechRepublic survey of more than 400 IT security professionals found that 71% of them had seen an increase in security threats or attacks since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak. Should a hacker successfully breach your defenses, the damages—to your reputation, bottom line, and operational capabilities—could be catastrophic.To gauge your cybersecurity defenses and spot vulnerabilities in your critical IT systems, you need to consider different types of penetration testing.

Identity and Access Management Best Practices
Identity and access management (IAM) best practices seek to clearly define, and oversee the access privileges granted to network users, and ensure that access is only granted to those within the organization.
Think of identity and access management best practices and tools as gatekeepers, tasked to either allow or deny entry, depending on who or what is trying to enter the “premises”, as well as closely monitor all visitors’ movements within the designated “area”.

What is the NIST Third-Party Risk Management Framework?
Integrating cybersecurity best practices has become an essential aspect of the information and communication technology (ICT) supply chain. There is a growing cyber risk associated with dealing with vendors that are not adequately vetted or audited for their cybersecurity capabilities. The National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) have devised a series of frameworks for cybersecurity best practice.

What is the NIST Penetration Testing Framework?
With each passing year the risk of cyberthreat looms larger. While the integration of new technologies has created business efficiencies and increased interconnectivity, it has also exposed organizations to new forms of cyber-related risks. In response to this growing problem, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) produced the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF). The framework serves as guidelines for managing your cybersecurity risks. One of the best ways to assess your adherence to NIST is by conducting a NIST-based penetration (pen) test. But what does the pentest framework entail?
