Discover 10 ways to leverage the SCP command in Linux. Learn how to incorporate options for specific file transfers and how to deal with common errors.
Yesterday, CyberArk announced a new partnership with Wiz, where they’re touting “complete visibility and control for cloud-created identities.” I know I’ve had my fun poking holes at CyberArk in the past, but with this announcement, they’ve just handed the world a glaringly tone-deaf admission of being outdated, un-innovative, and uninterested in what enterprise security teams actually want.
Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries across the board, and cybersecurity is no exception. But as AI evolves, so do the threats that keep cybersecurity professionals up at night. Just how serious is the concern? According to a StrongDM survey of 600 cybersecurity professionals, AI-driven threats are emerging as one of the top concerns for the future of cybersecurity.
Discover how StrongDM's Zero Trust PAM and fine-grained authorization secure cloud data plane access and mitigate shadow access risks without hindering productivity.
By simplifying the ability to enforce granular policies, Cedar has set a new benchmark for access control in Kubernetes, and we’re thrilled to be part of this journey. This evolution is a milestone for anyone dedicated to securing cloud infrastructure.
Data breaches have cost companies across industries an average of $4.88 million this year. Luckily, effectively preventing them comes down to simply managing user credentials effectively. In fact, regularly updating user passwords can notably reduce the risk of unauthorized access and data theft. Ready to level up your cybersecurity game? Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to change a PostgreSQL user password, why it’s important, and the best practices for securing your database. Read on!
Setting permissions, revoking access, and performing other user management duties in Linux can improve your system's security and organization, ensuring users can access the resources they need when they need to. The useradd command lets you create, modify, and check user accounts, helping you handle multi-user environments across various Linux distributions.
Explore our in-depth guide on how to change and edit passwords in Linux using various commands and tools. Also, learn some advanced Linux password management techniques.
A .tar.gz file is a compressed archive file format that combines the tar and gzip formats. These files are popular among system administrators, developers, and regular computer users for archiving and compression. You might need to extract or unzip .tar.gz files if you're transferring big datasets or distributing software with Linux, the third-most popular desktop operating system in the world.
Let’s talk about the unsung heroes of your on-premises infrastructure: network devices. These are the routers, switches, and firewalls that everyone forgets about…and takes for granted—until something breaks. And when one of those somethings breaks, it leads to some pretty bad stuff. If your network goes down, that’s bad, bad, bad for business. But if those devices lack the necessary security, well, that can leave you exposed in an incredibly dangerous way.
Zero Trust cloud security is a cybersecurity model that operates on the principle that no user, device, system, or action should be trusted by default — even if it's inside your organization’s own network. This approach minimizes the risk of breaches and other cyber threats by limiting access to sensitive information and resources based on user roles, device security posture, and contextual factors.
If organizations hope to minimize their exposure to attacks and mitigate any damage done by a threat, they must have a comprehensive incident response plan. An effective plan will detect, contain, and enable rapid recovery from security breaches, preserving your business continuity and operability. We've outlined seven incident response steps for you to follow so you can be prepared for a threat.
