How security teams can build a strong IT partnership for zero trust implementation [Q&A]
As the enterprise IT landscape has become more complex, security is no longer a matter of simply securing the network perimeter. The cloud and remote workers now have to be part of the equation too.
In order to cope with this, more and more businesses are turning to the use of zero trust methodology. We spoke to James Carder, CSO of SIEM platform LogRhythm to find out more about why this is a technology whose time has come and how it can be implemented effectively.
Why AI isn't the only answer to cybersecurity [Q&A]
Read about any new cybersecurity product today and the chances are that it will be keen to stress its use of AI in some form.
But are we expecting too much from AI and are companies adopting it just because it's on trend? We spoke to Nadav Arbel, co-founder and CEO of managed SOC platform CYREBRO, to find out more about AI's role and why the human factor is still important.

What to do after a ransomware attack [Q&A]
Ransomware is a major problem and ideally while you'd like to avoid being attacked, the chances are that at some point you're going to be a target.
So, what happens following an attack and what should organizations be doing immediately afterwards to lessen the impact? We spoke to Ed Williams, EMEA director of SpiderLabs at Trustwave, to find out and to get some tips on how to proactively secure against ransomware attacks in future.
How streaming can help developers improve their handling of data [Q&A]
Data is increasingly important to companies, but making effective use of it presents a number of challenges.
NoSQL database company DataStax has recently launched its new Astra Streaming service. Based on Apache Pulsar this aims to make it easier for developers who want to run their application streaming alongside their database instances like Cassandra.
How real live phishing emails can help protect users [Q&A]
Phishing remains one of the most popular attack vectors for cybercriminals. But traditional defenses relying on filtering or raising user awareness via training aren't always effective.
We spoke to Lior Kohavi, chief technology officer at enterprise SaaS security specialist Cyren to discover how a new approach is using genuine attacks to help both educate users and keep phishing emails out of our inboxes.
Why a safer future depends on protecting IoT devices [Q&A]
There's been a huge proliferation of Internet of Things devices in recent years, but along with this has come a whole range of new security and privacy concerns.
How are IoT devices secured -- if they are at all -- and what are they doing with our data? We spoke to Rob Shavell, co-founder and CEO of Aine/DeleteMe to talk about security gaps, privacy concerns and more.
Why enterprises need a data-centric approach to security [Q&A]
Most cybersecurity focuses on keeping out threats, but there's an increasing view that everyone is going to get breached sooner or later and that protecting data is key to keeping a business safe.
We spoke to Kurt Mueffelmann, global chief operating officer of Nucleus Cyber -- which has recently been acquired by Australian access control company archTIS -- to find out more about how this approach works.
How stopping lateral movement can defend against ransomware [Q&A]

Why testing is vital to keep organizations secure [Q&A]
Everyone knows that businesses systems are a target for a range of attackers. But it's easy to become complacent about security and finding vulnerabilities can be difficult.
Testing your security is therefore vital, and can uncover things that you might not otherwise be aware of.
Why IoT developers need access to better tools [Q&A]
Internet of things devices pose a number of challenges for developers, not least security issues and having to work with limited hardware capability.
We talked to François Baldassari of connected device specialist Memfault to find out why it may be better if IoT device developers and engineers were to have the kinds of DevOps tools that only software teams have traditionally had access to.
