Last year, NIST standardized a set of encryption algorithms that can keep data secure from a cyberattack by a future quantum computer. Now, NIST has selected a backup algorithm that can provide a second line of defense for the task of general encryptio… Continue reading NIST selects HQC as backup algorithm for post-quantum encryption
Connected devices are better protected from cyberattacks and less likely to be compromised by errors thanks to the new TPM 2.0 specification from the Trusted Computing Group (TCG). Manufacturers attach a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to a device to hel… Continue reading TPM 2.0: The new standard for secure firmware
Vulnerability management has been the standard approach to fending off cyber threats for years. Still, it falls short by focusing on a limited number of vulnerabilities, often resolving only 1% to 20% of issues. In 2024, with the average data breach co… Continue reading Setting a security standard: From vulnerability to exposure management
In this Help Net Security interview, Mike McNeil, CEO at Fleet, talks about the security risks posed by unmanaged mobile devices and how mobile device management (MDM) solutions help address them.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has become a widely adopted practice in modern DevOps, automating the management and provisioning of technology infrastructure through machine-readable definition files. What can we to do make IaC secure by default? Securit… Continue reading How to make Infrastructure as Code secure by default
The Network and Information Security (NIS) 2 Directive is possibly one of the most significant pieces of cybersecurity regulation to ever hit Europe. The 27 EU Member States have until 17 October 2024 to adopt and publish the standards necessary to com… Continue reading NIS2: A catalyst for cybersecurity innovation or just another box-ticking exercise?
In this Help Net Security interview, Doug Madory, Director of Internet Analysis at Kentik, discusses the FCC’s proposal requiring major U.S. ISPs to implement RPKI Route Origin Validation (ROV), and addresses concerns about the impact on smaller ISPs a… Continue reading Breaking down FCC’s proposal to strengthen BGP security
As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, understanding and implementing robust cybersecurity frameworks is crucial for organizations of all sizes. This article lists the most essential cybersecurity frameworks developed to guide businesses and governm… Continue reading 10 cybersecurity frameworks you need to know about
Funded by the National Security Agency, MITRE’s D3FEND framework is helping to provide standardization, specificity, and repeatability needed by cybersecurity engineers. As the framework moves from the beta version to version 1.0 in 2024, we asked D3FE… Continue reading Modeling organizations’ defensive mechanisms with MITRE D3FEND
