Protecting sensitive patient data in healthcare isn't just a priority—it's a legal and ethical obligation. However, one of the most overlooked security gaps that healthcare organizations face is the practice of password sharing among employees. This seemingly harmless habit can quickly lead to unauthorized access and serious data breaches, putting both the organization and patients at risk. While often seen as a convenient shortcut, password sharing undermines the security of protected health

Kubernetes (K8S) has revolutionized software development, but managing such a complex system with numerous components can be challenging. Fortunately, there are several best practices your team can adopt to secure your K8S environment and reduce your attack surface. By implementing these Kubernetes ...
Zero Trust Data Protection isn't just the best way to safeguard your data — given today's advanced threat landscape, it's the only way. Assuming inherent trust just because an access request is inside your network is just asking for a breach. By implementing the latest tactics in authentication, network segmentation, encryption, access controls, and continuous monitoring, ZT data security takes the opposite approach.
With so many advanced cyber attackers lurking on the threat landscape, a simple password is no longer enough to safeguard your sensitive data. There are many reasons to adopt MFA for your business. It supplements your security by requiring additional information from users upon their access requests—and it significantly reduces your risk of incurring a breach. Several multi-factor authentication methods are available, with varying strengths and weaknesses. Be sure to compare the differences
Access is no longer the primary challenge in enterprise security; it's the actions of users that are most aligned with managing risk. By focusing on how actions are authorized, StrongDM is giving customers a more effective approach to enterprise security. Our policy-based action control ensures that, in addition to access, every user action is scrutinized, delivering a higher level of security tailored to meet the complex demands of modern enterprises.
SQL injection attacks remain one of the most prevalent and dangerous threats to database security. These attacks can compromise sensitive data, disrupt operations, and cause significant financial and reputational damage. Understanding how to prevent SQL injection attacks will help you foster a security-conscious organizational culture.
Internet of Things (IoT) devices form the backbone of many modern businesses, facilitating operations, collecting valuable data, and enhancing efficiency. However, the widespread deployment of these devices creates numerous entry points for potential attackers. Without robust security measures, you risk exposing critical systems and sensitive information to malicious actors.
Traditional security measures like simple virus protection, firewalls, and web and email filtering are no longer sufficient to safeguard against the sophisticated tactics used by modern cybercriminals. This heightened complexity means you must implement advanced defense mechanisms that go beyond basic protections, ensuring a resilient and adaptive cybersecurity posture.
Get ready to secure everything and anything with MFA. Easily combine security checks such as device trust and geo-location. With StrongDM you can MFA all resources (e.g., multiple clouds, diverse databases, or critical applications, etc.) without changing your applications’ code or infrastructure.
This article investigates MFA fatigue attacks. We'll explain how they work, why they're effective, and who they typically target. We'll also provide real-life examples to help your team detect and prevent these threats. You'll leave with a clear understanding of MFA fatigue attacks and tips on how to shore up your cloud security to defend against them.
There are multiple situations where it is necessary to terminate a process – for example, when the program does not respond or freezes, when there are detected traces of the malicious work of an application, or when one process consumes far too many system resources, and this list goes on. Learning how to kill a process properly is a vital skill that can help keep your various systems healthy and functioning optimally.
Understanding the core differences between a Zero Trust architecture and a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an important step in shaping your organization’s cybersecurity strategy. Zero Trust and VPNs offer distinct approaches to security; knowing their functionalities and security philosophies helps you understand when to select one or the other to protect your data effectively—a strategic necessity for robust cybersecurity.
Continuous compliance is the ongoing process of ensuring that an organization consistently adheres to regulatory standards and internal policies for its systems, applications, employees, partners, and engagement with stakeholders. It involves continuous monitoring, auditing, and real-time updates of both technology and human behavior to maintain compliance with government and industry standards frameworks.
