From Vulnerabilities to Compliance

In this edition of Cybersecurity Market Moves we focus on three aspects of cyber management that impact business operations and risk.

Our lead-off feature from Ravid Circus is entitled Lost in Translation: bridging the communication gap in vulnerability management. He discusses how effective communication, predictable processes and technology solutions can narrow the gap from identification to remediation in vulnerability management.

Vulnerability management is critical to protecting an organization’s IT and cloud infrastructure, systems, or applications from incoming threats. The ability to remediate the most relevant vulnerabilities quickly is the only way to keep your perimeter safe. Yet, security teams struggle with managing vulnerabilities. Why? At the core lies a fundamental communication and collaboration problem.

He describes how process tweaks and automation tools and technologies can streamline the process and support a more effective vulnerability management program.

Next, Pukar Hamal provides a piece on how organizations can balance innovation and compliance. In the wake of the EU AI Act, security executives ponder the implementation of regulations as a crucial step toward ensuring the safe and transparent use of AI technology and how businesses can navigate an ever-evolving regulatory landscape without sacrificing innovation or commercial growth.

Finally, our third lead storm from Shai Morag explains why the cloud has cybercriminals ditching malware and how more and more cybercriminals are zeroing in on inherent weaknesses in cloud infrastructure and applications to sneak into networks.

He tells us to remember that when it comes to cloud security, it’s not all bad news. There is increasing awareness about the vulnerabilities cybercriminals are exploiting in the cloud – and security teams are improving their oversight. The scalability and flexibility of cloud deployments mean that once organizations have the right tools and procedures in place, they can rapidly and dramatically improve their security posture.
