While IBM Power10 is recognized for its ability to meet the challenges of hybrid cloud computing, as well as its energy efficiency and processing power, companies may not be aware of the platform’s security capabilities. 

Networking and security are 2 areas of information technology that are continuously evolving. As working environments change, companies face more connectivity challenges. Cybercriminals are always developing new attack vectors to evade information security.

Zero Trust security is a strategy, not a solution. The Zero Trust approach to security is governed by 2 key principles:  

1) Never trust
2) Always verify 

As cyberattacks continue to grow, so does the need for Zero Trust network security. According to TechRadar, global weekly attacks on corporate networks have increased 50% compared to 2020. If your organization hasn’t started to implement Zero Trust best practices, now is the time. But how do you get started?

When it comes to privacy, the last few years have seen a great importance placed on Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). A VPN allows users to create a private network from a public internet connection, offering users anonymity online. In Russia alone, Forbes has estimated that VPN use has skyrocketed 11,253% since the 2022 Russian February crackdown on internet access and free speech.  

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) protects sensitive data by requiring 2 or morefactors to grant access. These factors typically include something you know, something you have, or something you are.  

Security incident and event management (SIEM) is emerging as a must-have technology because of the push toward a Zero Trust approach to IT security. SIEM allows companies to achieve the network visibility needed to detect, identify, and respond to threats. Today’s SIEM solutions have evolved to include built-in advanced analytics and the ability to protect cloud environments and endpoints from internal and external threats. 

Security incident and event management (SIEM) has been getting a lot of attention lately from major players in the technology market. Among the companies investing in SIEM by offering solutions are IBM, HP, Dell, LogRhythm, McAfee, Splunk, AlienVault, BlackStratus, EventTracker, Fortinet, Micro Focus, SolarWinds, Symantec, Tenable Network Security, TIBCO Software, Trustwave, and ZOHO Corp.

Using passwords and PINs for access control has long been a source of humor, from George Costanza on Seinfeld choosing BOSCO as his ATM PIN to jokes about setting 1234 or ABCD as passwords.

Fighting the sophisticated threats in today’s risk landscape requires more than just security tools. To defend against both external and internal risks, your company must develop a cybersecurity strategy. A security strategy helps to shape the way your security solutions work together, creating a more comprehensive approach to preventing risk.
