Hybrid work has uniquely changed how applications are accessible, utilized and safeguarded. Employees are no longer limited to a single office network as they use different devices and connections to communicate while traveling, working remotely from home, or in co-working spaces. The delivery of applications has become more complex than before because of this transformation. The challenge extends beyond making applications accessible. Organizations objective is to ensure that applications are delivered securely, reliably and with providing a consistent user experience that is regardless of the user’s location and network environment. A Distributed Workforce and Network Prior to the hybrid norm, many applications were accessible only in restricted corporate settings. It was easy for IT teams to manage both security and performance within a specific boundary. However, this traditional model does not exist thus it creates significant challenges for IT teams. Today’s applications are curr...

The most dangerous cyberattacks  today are not always direct. Increasingly, attackers are choosing a quieter and far more effective route - through the supply chain. They target trusted vendors, software providers or service partners instead of solely targeting one organisation at a time and then take advantage of access points to harm multiple organisations at once. Supply chain attacks have become a serious national security risk as a result of this transition. How Trust becomes the entry point Modern organisations depend on a vast network of third-party vendors. These links are important for speed and scale, from cloud services and software updates to managed IT providers. But they can also pose a risk. Attackers know that it's extremely difficult to effectively breach a secure organisation. It is often easier to take advantage of a smaller vendor with weaker security precautions. After entering, attackers are able to get to their real targets through shared systems, software up...

Protecting critical infrastructure from state-sponsored attacks is no longer a security concern but the core of national resilience, economic stability, and public safety. As digitalization and interconnected systems expand their capabilities, they equally increase the exposure to risk. State-sponsored attackers recognize this and are heavily investing on sophisticated cyber operations designed to disrupt power grids, hospital networks, transportation systems and telecom networks. Unlike typical cybercriminals, they differ in both intent and capability. These actors are well funded, highly skilled and often operate with geopolitical objectives. Their goal is not just disruption but to have influence over essential systems, create pressure and at times gaining strategic advantage. This makes such attacks fundamentally different and far more dangerous in today’s threat landscape. From Breaches to Disruption Traditional cybersecurity thinking has focused on preventing breaches. But in cr...

By- Shibu Paul, Vice President – International Sales at Array Networks The conventional perimeter-centred security system is becoming less effective in an atmosphere where cyber threats are becoming more prevalent. On the basis of the basic principle of “never trust, always verify,” the Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) model has evolved into an effective structure to enhance cybersecurity in businesses. With the support of industry insights and real data, this article analyses possible strategies for implementation of Zero Trust at all levels in large multinational companies. The Necessity for Complete Trust The usage of mobile phones, cloud computing and working remotely has increased the possibility of an organization’s attack surface. Traditional security models are not enough against emerging cyber threats considering that they depend on trust among the network perimeter. To tackle such challenges, the Zero Trust Architecture ensures robust verification of identity, restric...

Insider threats is one of the most underrated but certainly one among the devastating risks in the context of cybersecurity. These threats come from inside the organisation through employees, contractors or partners, who has authorization to access to information and systems as compared external attacks. Huge data breaches, financial losses and reputational damage can occur from the actions of an outlander pursuing internet- based attacks which may be malicious or unintentional. What are Insider Threats? Insider Threats include a variety of activities where a malicious insider of a company exploits their authorized access to damage a company's reputation and fulfill their malicious intentions. This can be stealing confidential details, destroying systems or inadvertently disclosing information because of carelessness. The difficulty with insider threats lies in their delicacy; their malicious actions can be tough to spot through traditional security steps because insiders already h...
