Despite the best efforts of security providers and users, data breaches continue to proliferate, with 4.1 billion records exposed in data breaches in the first half of 2019 alone. And each time there’s a breach, we go through the same process of trying to figure out who’s to blame. Was it an IT admin, who configured a piece of software incorrectly? Was it a user, who clicked on a link they shouldn...
As companies’ workloads increasingly move to the cloud, new security concerns arise. Chief among these is making sure your company is prepared to manage access to the sensitive data that resides in the cloud. Traditional privileged access management solutions (PAM) are expensive, and they’re too slow for onboarding and offboarding in multi-cloud environments. Instead, companies need a lean, scalab...
How many years has the cybersecurity industry talked about “the password problem”? And how many years has the conclusion always been the same: passwords are one of the weakest links in the cybersecurity chain. They are always either too simple, stolen or lost. Or they become too complex to remember. But everybody has to use them. Right? Think again. We can’t claim to be able to eliminate all the p...
When we talk about simplifying access management tools, we tend to focus a lot on the end user. Developers, for example, often bypass the bulky and hard-to-use privileged access management (PAM) solutions their organization has put in place to secure access to servers and other valuable assets, mainly because they’re interested in working faster.

Below is a bit of a breakdown of who uses PrivX Free, what are t...

The speed of go-to-market is one of the key elements in product development. When you have a special product, you want to make it available for the right audience without delays. At the same time, it's a game of balance: you also need to gather enough market, analyst and customer intelligence to make the product fulfil customer needs you didn't even realize existed. Combine your trust in your prod...
We get news about successful hacks, breaches and ransomware basically every week. As a consequence, stock listed companies often see their stock prices plummet, their reputation takes a hit and their brands tarnished. In some cases, the general public might take their business elsewhere. But there’s more to the story of cyber security incidents: a failure to act and report in a timely fashion incr...
Do you remember that infamous Equifax breach? The one where hackers stole the personal information of 147.7 million US citizens? We wrote a blog post about the incident a few years back. Whether or not you remember the case, the first thing you should notice that the case is still relevant – almost two years after it was discovered. One of the reasons is that US authorities have taken a stricter a...
