The simplicity of the con only adds to its popularity. Kerberoasting rose 583% last year, with threat actor Vice Spider responsible for more than a quarter of those incidents, according to CrowdStrike’s 2023 Threat Hunting Report. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency also… Wed, 14 Aug 2024 14:54:12 -0400 Nathan Eddy https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2024/08/what-kerberoasting-experts-explain-why-cyber-attack-rise https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2024/08/review-kensington-docking-station-dream-hybrid-workers Docking stations have been around for a long time. Over the years, they have found a lot of use, especially for workers who are out in the field part of the time, then back in an office for paperwork or other duties. Early docking stations generally allowed laptops to connect to a desktop monitor or computer, though users sometimes needed thumbscrews and serial ports to connect everything. In a lot of ways, those devices were clunky, but they got the job done. To say that the Kensington SD5700T Thunderbolt 4 dual 4K docking station is improved from those older models is an understatement… Wed, 14 Aug 2024 14:38:34 -0400 John Breeden II https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2024/08/review-kensington-docking-station-dream-hybrid-workers https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2024/08/type-1-vs-type-2-hypervisors-whats-difference-perfcon One firm wants to allow its employees to access their files and applications from anywhere. The IT team at a second company is focused on its disaster recovery strategy, and a third organization has yet another goal: to improve use of its on-premises data center. At all three companies, the solution involves hypervisors, a technology invented in the late 1960s that’s now considered critical to modern IT infrastructure. Here’s a rundown of what hypervisors are, the different types that exist and what they can do for businesses. What Is a Hypervisor? A hypervisor is software that allows a… Tue, 13 Aug 2024 19:54:14 -0400 Chris Hayhurst https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2024/08/type-1-vs-type-2-hypervisors-whats-difference-perfcon https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2024/08/product-spotlight-verkada-cd52-dome-camera-improves-security-through-integration Physical security remains a major concern for many businesses with many valuable assets and the need to protect sensitive information within their facilities. One important technology supports both physical security and cybersecurity efforts: video cameras. Cameras play a key role in implementing sound visitor and access management by providing effective video surveillance. Cameras can record and deter theft, unauthorized access and on-premises attacks, and when placed in the right locations, they can also help address data theft and insider threats.

They represent a major hassle for users, who are often required to keep track of unique, complex passwords for hundreds of different accounts. And they create significant costs for organizations that must pay help desks to assist users as they reset their passwords over and over again. To make matters even worse, passwords remain one of the most vulnerable authentication methods available. “The need to manage passwords and overcome problems related to them leads to massive frustration and lost productivity,” writes Jeremy Salzberg, chief security… Fri, 09 Aug 2024 11:47:55 -0400 Matt McLaughlin https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2024/08/unlocking-modern-security-journey-beyond-passwords-user-authentication https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2024/08/businesses-turn-next-gen-siem-improved-cyber-visibility Businesses are increasingly turning to next-generation security information and event management systems because the success of their cyber workflows relies on holistic visibility of their IT environments. After identifying the critical data assets they must protect, businesses use next-gen SIEM to correlate that information with other data feeds to unearth potential threats and compromises. Unlike traditional SIEM, next-gen systems infuse data points from raw streaming workflows and all types of asset sources: cloud, on-premises, hyperconverged and hybrid. In short, next-gen SIEM offers IT… Thu, 08 Aug 2024 18:27:48 -0400 Nathan Eddy https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2024/08/businesses-turn-next-gen-siem-improved-cyber-visibility https://biztechmagazine.com/ad/maximize-platform-engineering Thu, 08 Aug 2024 13:34:23 -0400 https://biztechmagazine.com/ad/maximize-platform-engineering https://biztechmagazine.com/article/2024/08/how-optimize-your-conference-room-hybrid-work The conference room has always been an important place in the office that brings team members together — a room whose purpose is to encourage collaboration, teamwork, new ideas and strategy. But as companies continue to offer a combination of onsite and remote work, something has to change. The traditional meeting room needs an update to support the dynamics of the shifting work environment. Today’s meeting rooms are drastically changing. The number of participants in a meeting may be quite different from the number of participants in the room.

Studies have shown that diversity does indeed have a positive impact on a company’s bottom line. As reported by Forbes earlier this year, “Creating a more inclusive workplace yields greater satisfaction, which is directly tied to the bottom line through increased productivity and retention.

If they choose correctly, they can give themselves a competitive advantage. If not, their rivals may gain the upper hand. The introduction of the cloud was one such moment. The dawning of the generative artificial intelligence era is another. To their credit, the business leaders I speak to recognize that generative AI is no passing trend. On the contrary, they’re trying to figure out how to securely leverage it to benefit their own organizations.
