Cybersecurity is constantly evolving, with new threats, cutting-edge technologies, and major company announcements emerging daily. Keeping up with these developments is essential to protect your organization and its clients from potential risks. Here’s a look at some key business developments that are steering the future of cybersecurity.
Solutions
Tigera’s Project Calico now offers universal microsegmentation capabilities. According to the company, Calico provides a robust, dynamic, and high-performance network policy engine to perform segmentation across both on-premises and cloud deployments. In a recent quote, Amit Gupta, Chief Product Officer, Tigera, said, “Traditional network segmentation solutions, designed for static VM environments, are inadequate for the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of Kubernetes. A modern segmentation solution needs to cater to both VMs and containers across single and hybrid environments, spread across on-premises and public cloud. Calico addresses these needs with its advanced microsegmentation capabilities, offering a unified security model, streamlined management, dynamic policy enforcement, granular policies, and reduced overhead. Enterprises that integrate Calico can achieve seamless and efficient segmentation that keeps pace with their virtualization environments.”

DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. has updated its role-based access control (RBAC), which manages user access to systems and resources within an organization by assigning permissions to roles rather than to individual users. These updates include a new set of predefined roles that make it easier for DigitalOcean administrators to provide a customizable level of access to their individual users. In a recent quote, Tyler Healy, CISO at DigitalOcean, said, “Scaling your business means adding developers and other job functions to your teams, but we believe that should not mean adding complexity in managing identity and access. With our new predefined roles, you can assign privileges in a way to minimize risk, and meet audit or compliance requirements. We’re excited to bring additional security and identity features that simplify cloud security, so developers can spend more time innovating.”
