Why zero trust delivers even more resilience than you think

Ten years ago, zero trust was an exciting, innovative perspective shift that security experts were excited to explore; today, it’s more likely to be framed as an inevitable trend than as a mere option on the security menu. At the same time, however, it… Continue reading Why zero trust delivers even more resilience than you think

Is your identity safe? Exploring the gaps in threat protection

A recent study from Silverfort has identified the identity attack surface as today’s most substantial weakness in cybersecurity resilience. Traditional approaches, such as MFA and PAM, have notable limitations that can lead to the exploitation of… Continue reading Is your identity safe? Exploring the gaps in threat protection

IEEE 802.11az provides security enhancements, solves longstanding problems

In this Help Net Security interview, Jonathan Segev, IEEE 802.11 Task Group (TG) Chair of next-generation positioning (TGaz) at IEEE, discusses IEEE 802.11az. The new standard will enable accuracy to less than 0.1 meters, which is a significant improve… Continue reading IEEE 802.11az provides security enhancements, solves longstanding problems
