The new SATs

11/03/2023 3:20 PM By cfridrich - Comment(s)

A well orchestrated Security Awareness Training (SAT) program for every single person in your company is perhaps the single most important cybersecurity tool, feature, element, solution, or service one could implement.

Remediation vs. Response

10/26/2023 8:50 AM By cfridrich - Comment(s)

There is an important and distinct difference between response and remediation. As with many things these days there are plenty of opinions. And like other things along that train of thought, they all stink. Except this one, of course!

EDR, XDR, and MDR

10/17/2023 5:49 PM By cfridrich - Comment(s)

Back in the old days the name of the cybersecurity game was prevention - if you had a strong perimeter, then you're good! That thought process has shifted rather dramatically, because we know they'll get it regardless.

SD-WAN and SASE

SDWAN, SASE, cybersecurity, dual-link aggregation... There is so much to try to keep straight. Cloud 9 boils it down in simple terms. Learn more about why these "techs" might be right for your business.

Under Constant Attack

07/21/2021 2:59 PM By cfridrich - Comment(s)

Most companies only have basic firewall protection, generally hardware-based and maybe a few others may conduct regular scans of their environment. Really no different than your home having a basic lock and maybe a deadbolt.

Prevent Ransomware with MFA

07/14/2021 9:55 AM By cfridrich - Comment(s)

Ransomware sucks. Identity as a Service (IDaaS) is ideal for organizations wrestling with making network access easy for staff, without compromising security. Let your IT team focus on driving business objectives, instead of solving end-user identity needs and issues.

Never Trust and Always Verify

Never Trust and Always Verify. Hmm, doesn't sound very productive in most business situations, but if you're talking about technology and security, I think we might be on to something.

New WFH Workforce protections

02/12/2021 12:20 PM By cfridrich - Comment(s)

There may be some light at the end of this pandemic tunnel… Remote work has evolved into a permanent fixture and must be included in long-term planning. This introduces more risks around access as employees connect in new ways.

ALERT: SolarWinds & FireEye

Unfortunately, Cyber Attacks don’t take time off to celebrate with family and friends. Are you concerned your business has been affected by the SolarWinds hack? If so, get help right away.

Wuhan Virus Phishing Attacks

04/15/2020 7:51 PM By cfridrich - Comment(s)

I just got an e-mail from the WHO asking for a donation to help fight coronavirus. It looked good. It sounded good. It was a fake. Asking for a donation in Bitcoin set off my alarm. We may get sick, but phishing, the art of conning people via email or texts, is as healthy as ever.

Today, most organizations are concluding that SD-WAN is the best way to add the controls necessary for the digital age. But, do you build your own SD-WAN or buy it as a managed service?

Traditional firewall security simply can’t keep up with the challenges created by new network paradigms. As a result, when discussing netwrok security with enterprises today, there are three reoccurring themes: visibility, scalability, and convergence.
