Did you know you can include one policy file from another? Traditionally you specify the files you want to make up a policy set using inputs in body common control found in your policy entry (promises.cf by default). body file control lets you specify additional inputs from any file that’s included in the policy and those files can include other files. Let’s check out a contrived example.

Credential management is a security practice that secures and protects all types of credentials (such as passwords, certificates, and keys) within an organization. It identifies and authenticates users who can access specific information, ensuring that sensitive and mission-critical data are always protected.

Managing security in the cloud and throughout hybrid environments is a challenge with high stakes — customer data, sensitive information, access privileges, and other cloud-based assets are all at risk when an organization uses the cloud. Let’s explore some common cloud-based security concerns and learn how to keep your cloud environment secure.

The cybersecurity landscape in 2023 was increasingly complex, marked by sophisticated types of cyber threats such as ransomware and cyber espionage. Over half of the high-risk vulnerabilities were exploited by threat actors, with ransomware payouts averaging a significant $1,542,333, up from $812,380 in 2022. Phishing attacks dominated, accounting for over 80% of incidents, and 57% of organizations experienced frequent phishing attempts. Additionally, 4,000 ransomware attacks occurred daily since 2016.

If there’s one Go programming language feature that just doesn’t seem to catch a break when it comes to security, it’s the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS handling in cgo. This is a feature that lets parts of Go source code control the compiler and linker flags that are used to build that same code.

Data is the lifeblood of modern organizations. Since data helps teams make better decisions and provide a competitive edge, it’s also a target of bad actors looking to steal sensitive information or launch ransomware attacks. From software vulnerabilities and weak authentication mechanisms to malware and inadequate access controls, there’s no shortage of ways for hackers to infiltrate networks and gain access to mission-critical data.

In an era dominated by digital advancements, cybersecurity has become the cornerstone of technological integrity and trust. The pivotal role of cybersecurity in today’s digital landscape is exemplified by the exponential rise in cyber threats—ranging from ransomware to sophisticated phishing attacks—that demand increasingly robust defensive mechanisms.
