With DHL being one of the most spoofed domains, the logistics and transportation industry is turning more to secure file transfer. The shipping titan struggles with just one of the diverse security challenges the industry faces. Unfortunately, many of those risks are passed on to consumers, lessening industry credibility and creating unnecessary risk just when interconnectedness is at its peak and the demand for dependable goods transport is at its highest. Now, more than ever, shipping companies need to be on their game.

Choosing the right Active Directory backup methodology is crucial for a successful disaster recovery plan. There are three primary ways to back up Active Directory:

An increasing number of people are switching to cloud infrastructure for their businesses, and there are good reasons to do so. As an abundance of companies has already transitioned to the cloud, migrations are increasingly taking place within the cloud, as these organizations migrate between different cloud providers (known as cloud-to-cloud migration). But for those making the initial foray to the cloud, there are a few critical items to consider.

Entering the new era of the cybersecurity landscape, it is more important than ever for businesses and organizations to implement robust defensive cybersecurity measures to protect their critical data and communications. The number of cyber-attacks has risen dramatically in recent years, with criminals receiving state-level support. This puts organizations, including government agencies, critical industries and infrastructure, financial institutions, authorities, health institutions, and individual citizens, at great risk.

Last year, we anticipated that 2022 would be challenging for cybersecurity. This was proven true with the countless number of sophisticated high-profile phishing and ransomware attacks like DropBox, Twitter, Rockstar Games and Uber (twice).

As organizations are looking to streamline processes and enhance security, pursuing automation in identity and access management is a key area businesses can target. By pursuing automation in identity and access management, IT teams can free up time to work on more important tasks, and reduce the friction required in managing team member and vendor access across necessary accounts, data and applications.

The DoD specification was set long ago, when rotating magnetic media hard drives ruled the IT world. To erase these drives, overwriting all data with zeros or random patterns – whatever the standard offered – was enough. But the world changed and entered the age of digitalization, and with it came new hard drives like SSDs (solid state drives).

The quantum threat is looming, but we are not exactly sure when it will hit, how serious it will be, or how exactly we should be preparing for it. There is still ongoing development of Quantum-Safe Cryptography, so wouldn’t it be better to wait until Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms are more developed? Let’s find out.

We’re excited to announce today’s launch of our expanded YubiEnterprise Subscription program, which aims to offer enterprise customers lower cost and value to entry, flexibility, faster rollout and seamless distribution. As cyberattacks continue to escalate at an alarming rate globally, Yubico strives to offer the most impactful way to up-level enterprise security. By equipping organizations with the gold-standard of phishing-resistant, hardware-based authentication with the YubiKey, companies can better protect themselves, their employees, and their customers against malicious hackers. 

As part of our YubiEnterprise Subscription announcement, we’re excited to share that we’ll be expanding the Security Key Series lineup to include two new enterprise, FIDO-only (FIDO2/WebAuthn and FIDO U2F) keys.
