As cyberspace has evolved and matured, the role of the CTO has become increasingly demanding due to the business-damaging nature of cyber threats, which are constantly changing and becoming more covert and sophisticated. Accordingly, the CTO needs to embed security in every technological aspect of their organization and collaborate with the CISO to ensure more robust security governance and efficient security operations (SecOps). The role of the CTO in security can be described in six key areas, as follows: 1. Security Governance Security governance requires strategizing and implementing the security defenses of an organization. This should be in the form of a 360-degree approach that closely evaluates and protects every asset of the organization, including the people and processes. More notably, the organization must recognize that all of its data is not of equal value, and specific datasets need more protection than others. This tiered approach helps balance the risk of threats ...

Enterprise leaders have been under constant pressure to sustain business and explore new opportunities for growth due to the disruptive nature of digital natives that survived through the dot-com bubble and are thriving. And then, the digital landscape snowballed, followed by a pandemic that disrupted the way the world works. These events mostly favored the digital natives that thrive with technology to become dominant players in their segment. While enterprise leaders worked through the pandemic, the ongoing geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe have had surprising effects on the world economy, which seemed to be recovering well from the pandemic’s impact before the conflict. In fact, enterprise leaders have to deal with such random events now and then. For example, McKinsey estimates that enterprises can expect supply chain disruptions lasting a month or more every 3.7 years. This is a lot more to deal with, so how can enterprise leaders be ready to respond to and remediate the...

People usually consider authentication, id verification, and identification the same thing, but they are entirely different when we see stuff through the lens of information security experts. Learn the fundamental differences between the three and the importance of each from an information security perspective. Introduction In a technologically-driven modern world, we have to prove our identities by authenticating ourselves several times a day to get secure access to devices, networks, and platforms. However, when we talk about authentication, id verification, and identification, things seem to revolve around just verifying a profile/person, but it’s not the case. People usually consider all three the same thing, but things are entirely different when we see stuff through the lens of information security experts. Let’s uncover the fundamental differences between the three terms and understand the importance of each term. What is Authentication? Authentication can be defined as...

Securing customer information is becoming more challenging, especially in a remote-first working environment with a poor line of defense. OOB authentication is used as a part of multi-factor authentication (MFA) or 2FA that verifies the identity of a user from two different communications channels, ensuring robust security. Introduction In a world where data breaches are becoming the new normal, businesses are exploring new ways to protect customer identities. At the same time, cybercriminals are finding new ways to sneak into a business network. Although identity theft isn’t a new challenge that businesses face every day, the outburst of COVID-19 has increased the number of attacks that can’t be overlooked. Hence, securing customer information is becoming more challenging, especially in a remote-first working environment with a poor line of defense. However, multi-factor authentication (MFA) and two-factor authentication have been safeguarding customer identities and sensitive ...

Introduction If you’re serving your clients online, you must be aware that almost 80% of online shopping orders were abandoned , i.e., not converted as per stats of March 2021. And this pattern isn’t new; it’s the new normal. Your customers are already interacting with brands like Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Google. They know what a great personalized user experience is. And if you’re not offering the same level of user experience on your online platform, you won’t be able to match their expectations! Users will land on your website/app, browse a little, find what they’re looking for, and then a single lousy experience will force them to switch—resulting in cart abandonment . But why do businesses face such issues? Are there any issues that are causing users to switch? Undoubtedly, yes! Poor login and authentication with or without traditional IAM (identity and access management) are the most common issues that force users to switch. Businesses are still relying on old-school...
