Why The Enterprise Browser Is Key To A Strong Cybersecurity Strategy

By Todd Humphreys | Aug 20, 2024

The Internet browser has become an indispensable tool in the modern workplace – even outperforming other commonly used software like Microsoft Office or the CRM apps commonly found in corporate settings. However, traditional browsers weren’t designed with enterprise needs in mind; they were built for consumers, focusing on shopping, streaming, and social media. This challenge forces IT teams to develop a browser cybersecurity strategy, resulting in a complex, fragile, and costly environment that often frustrates users with delays and disruptions.

Maximizing Incident Response with a Modern SOC

By Shawn Murphy | May 31, 2024

The goal of every security organization is to protect its data. This mission has become increasingly complex in the face of an expanding attack surface and increasingly sophisticated and frequent attacks waged by relentless adversaries. Effectively responding to security incidents requires the Security Operations Center (SOC) to validate alerts and provide the IR team with critical details on the scope of the threat so they can quickly and reliably remediate the issue. However, several obstacles hinder the SOC from gaining the necessary visibility to deliver this critical insight.
