In this article, we’ll take a comprehensive look at brute force attacks: what they are, how they work, and the different shapes they can take. You'll learn about popular tools utilized by hackers and examples of brute force attacks in action. By the end of this article, you'll be able to understand critical prevention measures for brute force attacks.
Advanced threat protection is a type of cybersecurity dedicated to preventing pre-planned cyberattacks, such as malware or phishing. ATP combines cloud, file sharing, email, network, and endpoint security.
SASE is a cloud-based network security solution, whereas SD-WAN is a network virtualization solution. SASE can be delivered as a service, making it more scalable and resilient than SD-WAN. Additionally, SASE offers more comprehensive security features than SD-WAN, including Zero Trust security and built-in protection against Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks.
The main difference between SAML and OIDC is that SAML builds the trust relationship between the service provider (SP) and the IdP, whereas OIDC trusts the channel (HTTPS) that is used to obtain the security token.
The difference between SAML and LDAP is that SAML is designed for cloud-based connections using only an IdP and SP to communicate user data. LDAP, however, is typically used for accessing on-premises resources by installing a client on the user's device to connect with a directory service.
In this article, we’ll take a big-picture look at how SASE and CASB solutions fit into the enterprise security landscape. We'll explore the key differences between SASE and CASB and explain how each tool helps ensure enterprise security. You will gain an understanding of how SASE and CASB solutions compare and which might be suitable for your organization.
As more enterprises migrate to the cloud, access management and security has grown more complex. Cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) solutions emerged to address these challenges. In this article, we’ll take a broad look at what CIEM is, how it works, why it’s important, and how it differs from and works with other cloud management solutions.
What are the biggest security challenges facing DevOps, and how can practitioners overcome them? In this article, Good e-Learning and strongDM examine how DevOps engineers can work to guarantee security across their cultures.
