By issuing Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity, the White House created a tool critical to reinforcing federal network security and modernizing the way that the federal government does cybersecurity. Specifically, the order details the response federal department and agencies should have to combat the plague of major cyberattacks targeting critical services and infrastructures. While the majority of the order mostly impacts the federal government and its a

IoT and IIoT are used to move field data into cloud systems so that the data can be managed and shared among numerous users and applications. With an estimated 15 billion IoT devices expected to be connected to enterprise infrastructures by 2029, organizations across all industries can efficiently address industry problems using analytics, machine learning and advanced sensors. This proliferation of smart devices and technologies has created an environment in which the device

Fundamentally, cybersecurity regulates what data is accessible to whom or what. Encryption is a key component of cybersecurity. In fact, encryption is the ultimate method of controlling and limiting access. Data does not exist solely at a standstill, such as in file systems, cloud databases and other general storage infrastructures; it moves back and forth across networks and is in regular use by applications. Encrypting data in one area and not encrypting it in the other is

Moving gigabytes, terabytes and even petabytes of data have become a matter of routine for organizations across all industries. And the ability to transmit these vast amounts of data, particularly over global distances, requires a secure, high-speed data transmission infrastructure. Securely transmitting data has become even more critical in recent years due to the wide range of cyber threats targeting all industries. Malicious actors continually seek to exploit the vulnerabi

IT/OT convergence has been a necessary progression of the industrial environment in the digital age. However, while industrial enterprises have been pursuing greater efficiency in their OT systems through digitization, there has been a concerning lack of vigilance in addressing the increased need for enhanced security for the now online OT. OT and integrated control systems (ICS/SCADA) are at very real risk when connected to the internet. An OT system can be more vulnerable t

WAN-SOCKET FULFILLS NEED FOR END-TO-END ENCRYPTION Being able to leverage a global network or the internet to improve operations or processes is a competition differentiator. An organization’s global network should be able to handle the workloads and intricacies of the latest digital innovations. However, if it is not secure, a network is a burden. The data that travels within a network has to be secure at and between all endpoints, or the organization and its assets are at r
