All it takes is 1 compromised user or 1 compromised device to hold hostage everything in your network - replace your Traditional VPN with a modern identity-centric Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution, using Entra Private Access! https://lnkd.in/g3fTFNqU #SSE #SASE #Network #Security #NetworkSecurity #Entra #EntraPrivateAccess #ZTNA #ZeroTrust

Secure access to all internet and SaaS applications and resources with an identity-centric Secure Web Gateway (SWG). Set it up in Microsoft Entra Internet Access. Watch the full video here: https://lnkd.in/ghvrkRJr VIDEO SYNOPSIS: Keep your users, devices and data protected with Microsoft Entra Security Service Edge Internet Access. Combine identity and access management along with network access controls to help protect iInternet-based resources. Protections are context aware, made possible by deep integration with Conditional Access policies, with risk assessed in real time across identity, device, location, and applications, to protect ANY app or resource. See how Microsoft Entra Internet Access helps prevent sophisticated token theft attacks and insider data exfiltration to untrusted sites, including logging into unallowed sites that might increase your risk. #MicrosoftEntra #CloudSecurity #IdentityManagement #AccessManagement #SSEInternetAccess

Some Common Key Points of Virtual Private Network (VPN) #Privacy: VPNs help protect your online privacy by hiding your real IP address and encrypting your internet traffic. This means that your internet activities and browsing habits are shielded from being tracked by third parties. #Security: VPNs encrypt data, ensuring that sensitive information, such as passwords, personal data, and business communications, remains secure and confidential even when transmitted over public networks. #Geo-spoofing: VPNs allow users to connect to servers located in different geographic locations, which can help bypass geographical restrictions and access content that might be blocked or restricted in their actual location. #Remote Access: VPNs enable secure remote access to private networks, allowing employees to work remotely and access company resources as if they were physically present in the office. #Bypassing Censorship: In regions where internet access is heavily censored or restricted, VPNs can help users bypass such restrictions and access the open internet.

Did you know that today there is Dzień Bezpiecznego Komputera (Secure Computer Day) in Poland? IT is my bread and butter, so I thought it would be useful to share some tips of how to keep your data safe in the digital (and real!) world. I find that most dangers are related to travelling, being out of home and away from your secure Internet connection. Acini is a fully-remote company, meaning we have no permanent office. As we are also eco-aware, we limit our business trips, but as you know you can’t rule them out completely when you want to be there for your clients. Still there are ways to avoid compromising your #data while working remotely or being on the go. My list of #bestpractices in this respect is as follows: 1. Be Cautious with Wi-Fi: Be wary of using public Wi-Fi networks. If you must use them, connect only to trusted networks with known names, and confirm with the staff if you're unsure. Avoid accessing #sensitiveinformation on public Wi-Fi without a VPN. 2. Disable Automatic Wi-Fi Connections: Turn off automatic Wi-Fi connection features on your device to prevent it from connecting to unknown or potentially malicious networks. 3.Use a VPN: Always use a reputable Virtual Private Network (VPN) when connecting to the internet, especially on public Wi-Fi networks. A VPN encrypts your internet traffic, making it much more difficult for hackers to intercept your data. 4.Use Strong Passwords: Ensure that all your accounts and devices have strong, unique passwords. Consider using a #password manager to generate and store complex passwords securely. 5. Use Secure Cloud Storage: If you need access to files while traveling, use secure cloud storage services with strong encryption and multi-factor authentication. 6. Encrypt Your Devices: Enable full-disk encryption on your devices to protect data in case they are lost or stolen. Most modern operating systems have built-in encryption tools   Do you practice all of the above? Or perhaps you have even more good solutions? If so, share them in the comments, so that we can all feel cyber-safe 😊

.....VPNs here, IPsec tunnels there, there are insecure VPNs and IPsec tunnels everywhere. Why? Before I was born, businesses wanted to find a way to have private communications and connectivity using the internet. 👶 ...made sense. Problem? With the advancement of technology, all VPNs and IPsec are exposed and face the internet. Even the most B2B trusted and popular Business VPNs are being brute forced attacked 24/7/365. The matter is so serious that the U.S. Government as well as CISA have depreciated VPNs and advised all organizations that truly care about Security to do the same. Question: What are businesses going to do about? Microsoft's CEO is thinking about putting Security in the forefront of operations due to the impact on Revenue...the SEC is no joke on reporting and transparency regarding Cybersecurity. I hope others do the same with alternative approaches via NetFoundry that can make a difference and prevent such attacks from day 1 by embedding zero-trust networking directly into business assets to securely access, manage, and control them anywhere. - Say goodbye to using or depending on insecure VPNs/IPsec tunnels, exposed IPs/LANs/WANs, and open inbound ports. ❌ You and your team finally have a true embeddable Secure-by-Design and Default option. 😁 #VPNs #IPsectunnels #NetFoundry #ZeroTrust #SecurebyDesign #SecurebyDefault #ZeroTrustNetworking

How can companies maintain a more resilient and secure remote access infrastructure, even in the face of evolving cyber threats? 👾 As the workforce continues to evolve and remote work becomes increasingly prevalent, it's crucial for organizations to ensure secure access for third-party contractors and remote employees. 🔒 Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions have emerged as a powerful tool for extending secure remote access while maintaining robust security protocols. By adopting an "invitation first" approach, companies can effectively protect their network from potential threats while enabling seamless and secure connectivity for external stakeholders. This approach minimizes the risk of unauthorized access and reduces the attack surface, thereby bolstering the overall security posture of the organization. By leveraging ZTNA, companies can establish granular access controls, authenticate users, and encrypt data transmissions, safeguarding critical assets and sensitive information. Have you ever encountered any notable challenges or successes in implementing an "invitation first" approach? Let's discuss! 💬 #CyberSecurity #RemoteAccess #ZTNA #NetworkSecurity #DigitalTransformation
