Microsoft has officially deprecated NTLM authentication on Windows and Windows servers, stating that developers should transition to Kerberos or Negotiation authentication to prevent problems in the future.

A hacker has defaced the website of the pcTattletale spyware application, found on the booking systems of several Wyndham hotels in the United States, and leaked over a dozen archives containing database and source code data.

Moving to the cloud presents several security challenges for enterprises, including protecting the organization from data breaches, misconfigurations, compliance issues and unauthorized access. Moreover, the dynamic nature of cloud environments, with resources being provisioned and de-provisioned on-demand, adds complexity to security management. Organizations should implement robust security measures such as encryption, access controls and regular security audits. Training employees on best practices for cloud security is crucial to mitigate risks and ensure data protection in the cloud environment.

These items should be top of mind.

Nearly everything we use is built on code, from cars to smart fridges to doorbells. In businesses, countless applications keep devices, workflows and operations running. So, when early no-code development platforms launched in 2010, promising more accessible application development for citizen developers, its success felt inevitable.

Het gaat goed met IT-channel partners. Ruim drie op de vijf IT-kanaalpartners (61%) in de Benelux meldt dat hun zaken er vandaag de dag beter voor staan dan twee jaar geleden. Vooral de adoptie van generatieve AI-tool (GenAI-tools) en de groeiende vraag naar securitydiensten draagt hieraan bij.

The first quarter of 2024 has been about artificial intelligence (AI) and what it can and cannot do, so it’s no surprise that organizations have focused on it.

However, the Internet of Things (IoT) is close to AI on the priority list—according to IoT Analytics, it was reported as one of the three corporate priorities in 2024.

Despite its potential to streamline operations and boost efficiency, the IoT firm Asimily warned that as businesses push on with their IoT strategies there is also a parallel growth in IoT security vulnerabilities.

Last year, a Zscaler report indicated a 400% growth in IoT malware attacks, a testament to how poorly secured IoT devices can present a tempting target for cybercriminals.

Factoring in the above numbers reveals one thing: corporate reliance on IoT devices could leave organizations more vulnerable to security incidents than we think.

All these beg the question: how are organizations prepping themselves for corporate IoT security challenges in 2024?

To answer this and more, we explore key trends in IoT security and seek expert opinions.
