Securing Application Identities: CyberArk Success Stories
For years, security teams have trusted CyberArk to help them secure human credentials with privileged access management (PAM) solutions. But non-human identities have exploded thanks to digital transformation efforts like cloud migration, adoption of DevOps methodologies and introduction of automation processes. In fact, a survey report from CyberArk found that machine identities now outnumber human identities by a factor of 45x.
This collection of customer stories explores how some of our current customers have used CyberArk Secrets Manager to help them secure secrets across a wide variety of application types — from DevOps tools and CI/CD pipelines to RPA workloads and commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) applications and everything in between. Check out these stories to learn more about how real-world security teams are securing their application identities across their enterprise.

ESG Showcase: Enhancing Secrets Management for AWS Applications
Digital businesses rely on applications, and these apps need to be able to be deployed quickly and at scale to meet increasing market needs. However, while cloud-native apps meet these needs and have become increasingly widely used, they use secrets and other non-human credentials that are critical to secure. Security teams need comprehensive tools to secure all the credentials used by the various application types. To get high levels of developer adoption, security teams must use tools that meet developers where they are—for example, integrating with the existing cloud security tools they already use, such as AWS Secrets Manager.

Detecting and Mitigating Ransomware with Unitrends Unified BCDR
Data lives in more places than ever before and is constantly under attack. Ransomware remains one of the most pervasive cyberthreats today. According to Statista, the annual share of ransomware attacks experienced by organizations worldwide has been on the rise since 2018, peaking at a whopping 71% in 2022.1 In the first half of 2022 alone, there were a total of 236.1 million ransomware attacks globally.
Amid this ever-expanding threat landscape, traditional data security tools fail to defend against ransomware attacks 60% of the time. Ransomware’s success in overcoming traditional security mechanisms places backup and disaster recovery solutions among the most important aspects of any cyber resilience plan.
The Incident Response Planning Guide
Organizations across industries are rapidly adopting technology for smooth business operations. As technology advances, so do cybersecurity threats. With the average cost of a data breach pegged at $4.24 million per incident and cybersecurity experts forecasting an upturn in the quantity and quality of hacks, organizations will undoubtedly seek help to ensure they are prepared to battle this threat.
This eBook will answer the most pertinent IRP-related questions to empower IT pros to create an effective incident response plan and prepare organizations to face an unpredictable threat landscape.
The New Rules of Recovery
To keep pace with mounting competitive pressure in a 24×7 global economy, companies are forced to adapt or die. The onset of change has been rapid, with offerings, processes and operations digitized to varying degrees, all with the goal of growing the business. Many of the leaders who thrive today in an at times tumultuous landscape, have been successful in orchestrating these consistent improvements in pursuit of modernizing an ever-evolving tech stack.
More recently, IT professionals have been tasked with juggling the responsibilities of spinning up and empowering a geographically dispersed workforce with, at times, limited access to company facilities and resources. They are also being asked to maintain and secure existing assets, find new ways to boost revenue, and minimize costs in the face of forces from within and without.
Pentesting Re-defined
Let’s say you find a SQL database directly accessible from the internet. It’s the same story all over. There’s really no reason you should have this sort of system directly on the internet. There are much more secure ways to make this system available.
So why do we want to waste time as a tester to try and hack something we already know is insecure and why does the security manager need to pay more for this effort? The only real value is that you use this information to prove to other managers that this access needs to be shut down. So my argument here is that, once you find something that point blank doesn’t belong on the internet, your efforts as a company should be to put resources towards fixing the problem rather than proving that it’s a problem in the first place. It’s a waste of effort at this point.
How Often to Perform Pentesting
IT Leadership is beginning to realize that one Pentest a year is not enough. What happens if an engineer makes a configuration mistake exposing your systems environment one week after your Pentest has been completed? You are basically exposed for a whole year if your vulnerability scans do not detect the issue.
Pentesting as a service is currently offered by a number of companies in this automated fashion. It’s only a matter of time before industry leaders start taking advantage of these technologies. Unfortunately, many organizations only implement the tools required for compliance, but those organizations who are serious about data security will gravitate towards these sorts of technologies that make your security program more effective.

7 Must-Haves for Remote Work in M&E
Key Considerations for Accessing Large Media Assets
In 2020, when the pandemic hit, some companies were well prepared to enable a remote workforce, others had to scramble. Remote work is here to stay and a top priority across the industry is shoring up those remote workflows to make sure they are secure and scalable in preparation for whatever comes next.
