Cloud managed WiFi is no exception to this dogma. Hence, Mojo has taken proactive steps to build a robust security program for the cloud that strengthens its WiFi access and security solution. As the first WiFi vendor with its own SSAE 16 and SOC2 certification, Mojo is delivering the most secure cloud managed WiFi solution.

4 Steps to Reduce the Risk of Malicious Insider Activity

The risk of malicious activity has never been more of a reality for organizations than now.

End users today access, process, and manage privileged data more than ever as part of their job. This need for employees to use privileged data puts the organization at risk of malicious actions that include data theft, destruction, manipulation, and ransom. And it’s not just theory, a full one third of reported insider incidents in 2015 involved end users who access sensitive data as a requirement to do their jobs.

So, how do you tell in whose interests they are working - the organizations or their own? Find out more by downloading the Whitepaper.

Who Needs Malware? How Adversaries Use Fileless Attacks To Evade Your Security

Learn how fileless techniques work and why they present such a complex challenge.

Adversaries are increasingly using fileless attacks that leverage trusted systems and processes to bypass standard security. The arms race between cybersecurity vendors and determined adversaries has never been more heated. As soon as a new security tool is released, threat actors strive to develop a way around it. One advanced threat technique that is experiencing success is the use of fileless attacks, where no executable file is written to disk.

The 2017 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report found that 51 percent of cyberattacks are malware-free, so there’s no indication that these attacks will be subsiding anytime soon. Read this white paper to get the important information you need to successfully defend your company against stealthy fileless attacks.
