Everybody’s talking about the post-perimeter era – an era in which there is no longer a distinction between being inside the perimeter of the organization or outside of it. In this new era, our personal devices mix access to sensitive, corporate and personal data. The conventional thinking is that because services and apps have moved […]
The short answer is simply no. Read more to find out why and to get some tips on how to fix things and get real security while keeping VDI in place (if you have to). In this post, when we use the term VDI, we refer to many different variants of remote desktops/apps, of any […]
Many businesses rely on corporate-owned Windows 10 devices for securing corporate endpoints. In an attempt to keep cyberattackers at bay, they may try to lock down Windows 10 with a variety of security features, such as Windows Defender (or a third-party EPP/EDR/NGAV solution), Credential Guard (to prevent pass-the-hash attacks), Device Guard (to enforce code signing […]
In the first part of this blog series, we presented three endpoint challenges enterprises must overcome in their digital transformation journeys: threat prevention, user productivity, and user privacy. In this second blog, we show how a radical new approach called “virtual air gap,” or “software-defined endpoints,” improves cybersecurity by orders of magnitude, enables unrestricted user […]
Cyber attacks have become far too commonplace and sophisticated. So it’s not surprising that enterprise employees are continually and unwittingly exposing their devices – and their company’s crown jewels – to risk. CISOs and IT leaders know they need a more effective way to block sensitive company information from cyber criminals. That’s why they’re turning […]
A popular endpoint security strategy for users who have access to important data is to implement a physical air gap, also known as “Privileged Access Workstations” (PAW) or “Secure Access Workstations” (SAW). With PAWs, each end user has a separate laptop or desktop that is dedicated solely to sensitive tasks and information. These devices are […]
We all know that organizations going through the digital transformation revolution have to navigate significant technology, culture and workflow challenges. What’s becoming increasingly clear is that, as more of their business becomes digitized, they’re increasingly facing three major user-related challenges that can’t be ignored and require radical new approaches. In this first of a two-part […]
For over 2,000 years, people have leveraged elevated terrain, or “high ground,” to gain a strategic advantage over enemies and protect their realm. The Chinese “Art of War” suggests high ground as a strategic position that provides a wide point of view with full visibility over the landscape. In medieval Europe, castles and fortresses included […]
From app sandboxing to OS isolation: How the endpoint is evolving Last week, HP announced that it has acquired Bromium, maker of an app sandboxing product that uses virtual machines (VMs) to sandbox specific applications, such as browsers and office apps. This acquisition marks another important milestone in the evolution of endpoint isolation technologies. […]
Authentication solutions have been around for years. I actually started my cyber career working on one of the original and best two-factor (2FA) products – SecurID. Over the decades, the tech we use, the way we communicate and connect, and the threats we face have changed dramatically. So has authentication. 2FA is now MFA – […]
As a systems administrator, it has always been a difficult struggle to balance Microsoft User Rights Assignments in the Windows Operating System. Too much access on a file system is dangerous, while not enough causes subsequent tickets created at a help-desk. An equilibrium of supportability and security is ideal, yet seldom achieved. Windows Local Administrator […]
The end of the Windows 7 lifecycle is fast approaching: January 2020. This pending “end of life” means Microsoft will discontinue all support, including paid support, and all updates, including security updates. Of course, Microsoft might make an exception for some of its larger customers, but at a heavy price. What does this mean for […]
Isolation is an increasingly popular endpoint security strategy, and with good reason. It reduces risk by separating endpoint attack vectors from cyber criminals. Browser isolation is one of several isolation approaches. (Application, virtual and physical air gaps and virtual desktop infrastructure/VDI are others). Its concept is simple: move Internet activity away from a company’s local networks […]
Many IT organizations use app sandboxing in an attempt to safeguard sensitive information from cybercriminals. It’s a pretty straight-forward concept: contain threats coming from the sandboxed application to prevent them from affecting the OS. Kind of like making sure your kids can’t track sand from their outside sandbox into your house, where it would keep […]
Network Isolation, the segmenting of a computer network into separate zones with distinct trust levels, for the purpose of containing hazards or reducing damage caused by a threat actor, is a hallmark of nearly every security-minded network design. Even though implementing port security policies, VLANs, VPNs, and other technologies can take many months of planning […]
I’m excited to be starting a new journey as CEO of Hysolate. I first met Tal Zamir, Hysolate’s Founder, two and a half years ago when he was just getting started with Hysolate. He presented this grand vision of splitting up people’s laptops into multiple, totally isolated and virtualized operating systems but unifying them into […]
When considering endpoint security strategies, it’s incredibly common to have an endpoint protection platform (EPP) in place. Let’s face it – Anti-virus (AV) is the OG endpoint security solution. Over the years, these tools have evolved into next generation antivirus (NGAV) and endpoint detection and response (EDR). What that really means is that vendors have […]
I hate airport security. The endless lines. Taking off your shoes. And your jacket. And your belt. Pulling all of your gadgets / laptops / tablets out of your bag, throwing away your toothpaste because it’s oversized, being scanned by mysterious scanners, being patted-down by strangers, answering security questions about your visit at 6AM after […]
Could it be used to compromise your corporate environment? This week a vulnerability in the messaging app WhatsApp was reported that has allowed attackers to inject commercial spyware on to phones. WhatsApp, which is used by 1.5 billion people worldwide, discovered in early May that attackers were able to install surveillance software on to both […]
Anyone who’s been in enterprise IT long enough has already heard of, tested or deployed virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). And why not? The promises made by VDI vendors have been compelling, if not always accurate: cost savings, enabling bring your own device (BYOD), improving the user experience and business continuity, amongst others. However, there is […]
