At their latest Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) this past summer, Apple announced several new features in their soon-to-be-released iOS 17 and watchOS 10, noting an emphasis on communication changes and on-device intelligence. For this blog post, we will focus on the new enterprise features, allowing easier and more advanced management of end-user devices while simultaneously improving the end-user experience and privacy. UEM vendors are currently working on integrating all new enterprise...
Passwords have been used for decades to protect all types of information, but there are many challenges associated with them. Password fatigue, the feeling from employees of being frustrated by the numerous passwords one needs to remember for different accounts, poses a challenge for enterprises as it can lead to users resorting to weak or reused passwords, compromising security, and increasing the risk of unauthorized access and potential data breaches. Securely managing many user passwords...
When the government deploys mobile devices to their employees, the military and federal agencies face several challenges due to the nature of their operations and the sensitivity of the information they handle. Military and federal agencies handle sensitive and classified information, requiring strict adherence to compliance regulations and classification guidelines. Deploying mobile devices while maintaining data confidentiality and integrity presents challenges in terms of encryption, access...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly gained popularity in recent years, revolutionizing customer service and user interactions. However, the rise of AI-powered technologies also introduces potential risks and challenges to cybersecurity. This article aims to explore those risks and provide insights as to how they can be mitigated, from an enterprise perspective.
The concept of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) promotes a security approach that assumes no implicit trust in any user or device, regardless of its location or network context. Lately, we explained why every organization should have a cybersecurity strategy in place, using a 7-pillars approach to categorize all the different layers, modules, and functionalities that such a strategy can possibly include. Today, we will discuss how ISEC7, your Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), can help your...
With the exponential rise of quantum computing in recent years, current encryption algorithms used to secure our data and communications networks are at risk of becoming obsolete. Using the Shor algorithm, the power of a quantum computer will be able to break modern encryption standards sparking the largest cryptographic migration in the history of computing – requiring organizations to replace legacy encryption with quantum-safe cryptography.
Nowadays most employees are provided with the ability to work remotely and access their work data and services from virtually any location, on any device, and at any time. While this may be an improvement in terms of offering employees more of a work-life balance, employees still have one *little* thing to worry about: SECURITY. Easier access to more services from more devices and locations translates into an exponentially increased surface of attack, so a comprehensive security strategy must...
Whether your organization's digital workplace and/or mobile enterprise supports federal field operators in high-risk locations, tactical warfighters, CSfC deployments or internal data administration, ISEC7 can support your unique requirements within a government setting. Zero Trust Endpoint Protection As executive orders push the government towards a Zero Trust architecture strategy, ISEC7 can help government agencies deploy a Zero Trust security strategy, incorporate Zero Trust elements into...
In our last blog, we talked about the current challenges with cryptography that urgently need to be addressed, considering the exponential rise of quantum computing and the risk posed to the security of our communications. Today, we will review the existing technological approaches from the industry to solve these challenges and ensure our communications will remain secure for years to come from both traditional and quantum computer cyberattacks.
As we discussed in a recent blog post, quantum computing, like any major technological advance, will bring a lot of good things, but it also poses a serious risk to the security of our communications, making them vulnerable to new quantum-powered attacks performed by state-sponsored cybercriminals. While most technologies used to secure our data were believed to be secure and “unbreakable” some years ago, they will certainly not be in the years to come. Quantum computing is accelerating...
