Estimates show that the cost of cybercrime to organisations in 2023 was €7.2 trillion ($8 trillion), with projections indicating that this will grow to €9.4 trillion ($10.5 trillion) in 2025! Protecting data from cyberattacks and accidental loss is a core requirement of the cybersecurity team. The increasingly used tactic of attackers stealing data to use […]
Containerisation has become a prevalent application deployment method across the IT sector. The number of containers in use has exploded, and to tame this growth various tools and frameworks have been developed. The most popular framework for container management is Kubernetes, which was developed and released as open source by Google. Many solutions build on […]
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is the physical hardware, software, and associated procedures and rules that deliver the security and trust for digital certificates and public-key encryption on networks. When web sites and web applications are secured using TLS/SSL via Server certificates, Intermediate Certificates, and Root Certificates such as those from Certificate Authority Entrust Datacard, it […]
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) digital certificates are the credentials that guarantee digital identities on the Internet, and other computer networks. Of course, in 2020, everyone should be using TLS (Transport Layer Security) version 1.3 digital certificates, but the acronym SSL is known, sticky, and ingrained. When you read SSL mentally note that it’s TLS 1.3 […]
Implementing proper security for data, both at rest on servers and devices, plus in transit across the network is hopefully well understood and now just a core part of deploying IT systems. A crucial part of protecting data is the use of cryptographic keys and encryption for files and data in all locations. Nearly everything […]
