Zero Trust: Back to Basics
/by Wayne Lloyd, Federal CTO, RedSealThe Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity in 2021 requires agencies to move towards zero trust in a meaningful way as part of modernizing infrastructure. Yet, federal agencies typically find it challenging to implement zero trust. While fine in theory, the challenge often lies in the legacy systems and on-premises networks that exist with tendrils reaching into multiple locations, including many which are unknown. Identity management and authentication tools are an important part of network security, but before you can truly implement zero trust, you need an understanding of your entire infrastructure. Zero trust isn’t just about identity. It’s also about connectivity.
Zero Trust: Shift Back to Need to Know
/by Wayne Lloyd, Federal CTO, RedSealCyberattacks on government agencies are unrelenting. Attacks on government, military, and contractors rose by more than 47% in 2021 and can continue to climb. Today’s cybercriminals, threat actors, and state-sponsored hackers have become more sophisticated and continue to target government data and resources. For governmental agencies, hardening security requires a return to “need to know” using zero trust security protocols.
Ransomware Realities: Exploring the Risks to Hybrid Cloud Solutions
/by Anthony Grasso, Sales Director, CAHybrid cloud frameworks offer a way for companies to combine the scalability of public clouds with the security and control of their private counterparts, and pandemic pressures have accelerated hybrid adoption. Along with increased uptake, is a commensurate uptick in ransomware risks. With attackers leveraging the distributed nature of remote work environments to expand their attack impact, organizations must recognize potential challenges and develop frameworks to mitigate ransomware threats effectively.
Keep it Separate, Keep it Safe: How to Implement and Validate Cloud Network Segmentation
/by Kevin Lemieux, Sales Director, New EnglandThe distributed nature of cloud computing makes it a must-have for business, thanks to on-demand resource availability, network connectivity, and compute scalability. But the cloud also introduces unique security challenges. Cloud network segmentation offers a way for companies to reduce the risk of cloud threats. By dividing larger networks into smaller subnets — each of which can be managed individually — businesses can boost protection without sacrificing performance.
Do You Need a More Intelligent and Secure Network?
/by Bob Schultz, Sales Director, Mid-AtlanticEffective security tools are now table stakes for organizations to ensure they meet evolving legislative standards around due diligence and data control. But these straightforward security measures aren’t enough to address the evolving nature of information technology (IT) environments — from rapid cloud adoption to mobile-first environments to the update of edge computing. The sheer volume and variety of corporate IT environments create organizations’ ever-changing challenges.
On the Internet We’re All in a War Zone: Why it’s Time to Prepare for the Worst
/by Dr. Mike Lloyd, CTO, RedSealSadly, once again we find ourselves watching war as it unfolds. The truth is that, by accident or design, we’re all in a war zone online, because online conflict does not respect country boundaries or even physical distance. Western targets must prepare accordingly, by understanding their attack surface in granular detail, and probing for weaknesses that could be exploited by adversaries in the days, weeks and months to come. Resilience is the name of the game here, and that will only come about by plugging the highest risk gaps now across cloud and on-premises infrastructure.
How Security Vulnerabilities Expose Thousands of Cloud Users to Attacks
/by Jay Miller, Vice President, Commercial SalesCloud computing has revolutionized data storage and access. It’s led the charge for digital transformation and allowed the increased adoption of remote work. At the same time, however, cloud computing has also increased security risks. As networks have grown and cloud resources have become more entrenched in workflow, cloud computing has created larger potential attack surfaces. To safeguard their mission-critical data and operations, organizations need to know chief cloud cyber risks and have to combat them.

Future-Proofing Your Security Infrastructure
/by Kevin Lemieux, Sales Director, New EnglandCybersecurity is getting more complicated every day. Why is this happening? Organizations are seeing their infrastructure becoming more complex, attack surfaces growing dramatically, and threats from cybercriminals evolving. What’s more, the reliance on public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud environments — coupled with more remote workers — has expanded the security perimeter for many organizations.
Mitigating Cloud Security’s Greatest Risk: Exposure
/by Sukesh Garg, Vice President, ProductCloud security is complex and distributed. Implementing security controls across on-premise environments traditionally sits with the information security team, but in the cloud, the responsibility could be distributed across developers, DevOps and InfoSec teams. DevOps and developers don’t primarily focus on security, and the impact is often seen as an increase in misconfigurations introducing the risk of breaches.
