A firewall risk assessment is a detailed assessment approach of a firewall topology and configuration that has been implemented to protect your information, systems, applications, and overall business operations.
1. Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) allow employees to securely access a company's private network from remote locations over the public Internet rather than using a private leased line.
2. VPNs use encryption, authentication, and tunneling protocols to create a secure connection between a user's device and the private network. This allows employees to work remotely while maintaining the security of the private network.
3. There are different types of VPN implementations including intranet VPNs within an organization, extranet VPNs for connections outside an organization, and remote access VPNs for individual employees to connect to the business network remotely. Common protocols used include PPTP, L2TP, and IPsec.
Your endpoints are what makes you most vulnerable to cyberattacks. Along with that, BYOD policies have made all organizations more vulnerable if they don't have solutions such as Mobile Device Management and Multi-Factor Authentication. Endpoint security allows you organization to reap the benefits of BYOD without a breach.

The Zero Trust Model of Information Security Tripwire
In today’s IT threat landscape, the attacker might just as easily be over the cubicle wall as in another country. In the past, organizations have been content to use a trust and verify approach to information security, but that’s not working as threats from malicious insiders represent the most risk to organizations. Listen in as John Kindervag, Forrester Senior Analyst, explains why it’s not working and what you can do to address this IT security shortcoming.
In this webcast, you’ll hear:
Examples of major data breaches that originated from within the organization
Why it’s cheaper to invest in proactive breach prevention—even when the organization hasn’t been breached
What’s broken about the traditional trust and verify model of information security
About a new model for information security that works—the zero-trust model
Immediate and long-term activities to move organizations from the "trust and verify" model to the "verify and never trust" model
Companies are struggling to deal with the unstoppable growth of cyber-attacks as hackers get faster, sneakier and more creative. The bad news is - no company is immune, no matter how big or small you are. Without a proper understanding of zero-day threats, companies have no way of exposing the gaps of overhyped security solutions.
Zero-day exploit leaves NO opportunity for detection. This presentation will highlight critical insights combating zero-day threats.
Data Leakage is an important concern for the business organizations in this increasingly networked world these days.

What is expected from an organization under NCA ECC Compliance?VISTA InfoSec
Cybersecurity initiatives are today essential in a digitally-driven business world. This is to ensure the safety of the organization’s systems and sensitive data from accidental or deliberate incidents of breach. The growing number of cyber crimes and their operational and financial impact on business in terms of legal liability, reputational damage, and
financial loss has pushed regulators to establish strong security measures and frameworks in place.
The urgent need to address cybersecurity threats has resulted in the adoption of industry best practices by regulators around the world.

Reducing cardholder data footprint with tokenization and other techniquesVISTA InfoSec
This webinar discusses techniques for reducing an organization's cardholder data footprint to simplify PCI DSS compliance. It covers tokenization, which replaces sensitive card data with random tokens that have no value. Tokenization stores the original data in a secure vault and allows transactions to use tokens instead of real card numbers, reducing the scope of systems and data in scope for PCI compliance. Other techniques discussed include network segmentation, point-to-point encryption, and outsourcing services to PCI-compliant vendors. Reducing an organization's cardholder data footprint lowers the cost and effort of compliance while also preventing data breaches and theft.

Most importantly, it gives the assurance to your clients that you are delivering services as per commitments made either through SLAs or branding or through your marketing efforts.

6 Amazing Key Elements To Consider The PCI DSS Card Data Discovery ProcessVISTA InfoSec
Over the past few years, the industry has witnessed several incidents of high profile data breaches. Incidents like these serve as a reminder for businesses to prioritize data security and strengthen their business environment. Addressing the concern of data security, the Payment Card Industry Security Standard Council (PCI SSC) issued guidelines under Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) for securely processing, storing, transmitting payment card data. As per the PCI DSS Standard requirement, organizations in question need to determine the scope of their PCI DSS assessment accurately and secure card data. Determining the scope essentially involves discovering of unencrypted card data and securing the source to prevent breach/data theft. It is interesting to note that most of the incidents of data breach/theft in the industry today is due to the lack of securing data stored in undiscovered locations. This potentially exposes most organizations to the high-level risk of a data breach. It is therefore essential for organizations to conduct a thorough assessment of Data Card Discovery, to identify and if required securely delete cardholder data that is no longer required or has exceeded the retention period.
In this article today, we have outlined key elements to consider while conducting the PCI DSS Card Data Discovery Assessment. Consideration of these elements will ensure accurate scoping and data discovery across the environment. However, before proceeding towards learning about the key elements, let us first understand the term Card Data Discovery (CDD). This will facilitate better learning and understanding of the Card Data Discovery process
