Cross Domain Solutions – more than a one-way data flow
Key findings: Cross Domain Solutions (CDS) enable the secure exchange of data between environments with different classification levels, while protecting data and infrastructure. Traditional CDS are insufficient against today’s threats – modular, scalable and configurable solutions are needed. SEFs (Security Enforcing Functions) are a key component of CDS – they combine filtering, scanning, transformation and […]
Zero Trust in practice: How to effectively secure a distributed IT environment
In an era of remote work, distributed teams and a growing number of cyber threats, the traditional approach to IT security is no longer sufficient. Model Zero Trust, based on the principle of “never trust, always verify,” is becoming the new standard for protecting data, systems and users – regardless of location or device. Key […]
Phishing in sight – why is email authentication no longer enough? OPSWAT
Phishing is one of the most common and dangerous attack vectors used by cybercriminals. Despite the development of email authentication technologies such as SPF, DKIM and DMARC, many organizations still fall prey to impersonation of trusted sources. Attackers are becoming increasingly creative, taking advantage of oversights in systems and inattentive employees. That’s why it’s important […]
