Windows 11 – we recommend you hold off for now
“The new phonebook’s here! The new phonebook’s here,” yells Steve Martin in the movie “The Jerk.” Microsoft marketing might use a similar line – the new operating system, Windows 11, is here. But while Microsoft may be excited, reviewers appear to be more like Jackie Mason, whose reaction to Martin is, “I wish I could […]
Read More>>It’s Cybersecurity Month!
The world has grown pretty scary in recent years. Hackers attempted to poison a Florida water supply. They cut off a major supplier of gasoline for the Southeastern states. Ransomware appears to have contributed to a baby’s death. Hackers steal personal information, money, and intellectual property almost on a daily basis. They’re like zombies – […]
Read More>>Cyber insurance: Best of luck if you haven’t deployed these measures
Cyber insurance may be harder to obtain. Cyber insurers now require their customers to have specific cybersecurity measures in place – or face non-renewal of their policies as of the first of September. The cyber insurance market continues to harden from a seemingly endless number of claims due to cybersecurity attacks. While some insurers are […]

Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication method that gives users access to multiple applications after a single login. The multiple services must be related to gain access.

Read More>>Federal cybersecurity fails to protect U.S. citizens’ information
You may be outraged when you read the latest bipartisan U.S. Senate report on federal cybersecurity. In a nutshell, the report released earlier this month says U.S. federal agencies took “minimal” steps to tighten cybersecurity problems found two years ago. The failure to act leaves U.S. citizens vulnerable to foreign countries stealing our information and […]
Read More>>Banking regulators working to align Vendor Management requirements
Banking regulators may make their requirements governing banks’ use of vendors for services and products a little easier if proposed risk management guidance is approved. The guidance “harmonizes” Vendor Management requirements among the Federal Reserve Board (Board), Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Currently all three […]
Read More>>SEC cracking down on vendor cybersecurity measures
Doing business with a publicly-traded company? You’d better be sure your cybersecurity measures are up to date. In the wake of several so-called supply chain breaches (think SolarWinds or Kaseya), public company boards are feeling pressure from auditors to dig deep into their vendors’ security practices.
