How Illumio and Check Point can help with unified visibility and threat detection in the cloud.

Managing network security in today’s landscape feels like playing a nonstop game of cybersecurity whack-a-mole. New threats. New tools. More complexity. Less clarity. This article breaks down everything you need to know about UTM—from its benefits and use cases to real-world case studies and future trends like AI and Zero Trust. 👇 If your IT team is stretched thin and your threat surface is growing, this is a must-read #Zcoderz #CybersecurityStrategy #UTMSolutions #Infosec #ITLeadership

Advanced endpoint protection seeks to tip the scales in favor of defenders by enabling proactive and preventative security techniques against threats, instead of consistently reacting to incidents. These solutions allow budget and time constrained internal teams to focus on what matters, respond only to precise, actionable alerts, better manage their endpoint security centrally, and close existing security gaps. And that’s on top of the core capabilities of swift detection and response and the ability to stop previously unknown threats. Learn more: https://ow.ly/V0cp50WO9h2

Cybersecurity leaders face mounting pressure to stop attacks before they start, and the best defense may come down to the settings you choose on day one. In this piece, Yuriy Tsibere explores how default policies like deny-by-default, MFA enforcement, and application Ringfencing ™ can eliminate entire categories of risk. From disabling Office macros to blocking outbound server traffic, these simple but strategic moves create a hardened environment that attackers can't easily penetrate. Whether you're securing endpoints or overseeing policy rollouts, adopting a security-by-default mindset can reduce complexity, shrink your attack surface, and help you stay ahead of evolving threats.

++ Kaspersky Launches New External Attack Surface Module to Boost Cyber Defenses ++ Kaspersky has announced the launch of the new External Attack Surface module within its Digital Footprint Intelligence (DFI) service, available directly in the Threat Intelligence portal. This enhancement introduces External Attack Surface Management (EASM) capabilities, giving security teams the visibility and control they need to stay ahead of cyber adversaries by continuously monitoring and securing their organization’s external perimeter. The exploit of public-facing applications has been the main initial vector of attack for many years. According to Kaspersky Incident Response report, last year they once again ranked first, accounting for 39% of incidents. Moreover, over 90% of the vulnerabilities exploited by attackers in 2024 were published more than a year ago, indicating that the attacked organizations had ineffective update policies. “Security teams are under constant pressure to manage an ever-expanding digital perimeter. With the External Attack Surface module, we give them not only visibility of what attackers can see but also recommendations to reduce exposure and respond effectively. By enriching DFI with EASM functionality, we continue to expand the scope of our Threat Intelligence portfolio and deliver cross-product synergies that empower security teams with deeper insights, faster investigations, and more resilient cyber defense.” –Yuliya Novikova, Head of Digital Footprint Intelligence, Kaspersky 📌 Full story on TechAfrica News: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d8ZbxP-a #TechAfricaNews #Kaspersky #EASM #CyberDefense #PerimeterSecurity #ThreatIntelligence #RiskPrioritization #CyberResilience

The evolution of Endpoint Security is a story of adaptation, each stage building on the lessons of the one before it. In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, antivirus defined the frontline of defense. It scanned files on each endpoint and matched hashes against a central database, blocking known viruses, worms and trojans. However, it had a critical weakness, anything new and unknown slipped through the cracks. By 2007, the Endpoint Protection Platform signaled a shift. It combined next generation antivirus with host firewall, intrusion prevention, application control and device use policies in a single agent. Layered prevention methods like vulnerability shielding and behavioral controls were added, making endpoints less dependent on signatures alone. From 2013 onward, Endpoint Detection and Response redefined the approach. Instead of focusing only on prevention, EDR continuously recorded process activity, network connections and system changes. Security teams gained the ability to hunt threats in real time and perform forensic investigation. Fileless attacks and stealthy intrusions could be detected, and defenders could pivot laterally to contain them. It was a shift from building walls, to shining lights inside the system. By 2018, Extended Detection and Response expanded the scope even further. XDR ingested and correlated telemetry not just from endpoints but also from networks, cloud, email and identity systems. It unified cross layer analytics and automated playbooks, giving security teams a centralized view to detect, prioritize and remediate threats across the entire infrastructure. This marked the transition from siloed defenses to integrated ecosystems, where insights from one layer could inform protection across many. Each stage represents a response to the growing sophistication of attackers. What began with scanning files for known signatures, has grown into a discipline that integrates signals from every layer of the enterprise. #Cybersecurity #EndpointSecurity #EDR #XDR #InfoSec #ThreatDetection #SecurityOperations #CyberResilience #NetworkSecurity #CloudSecurity
