Two important shifts over the last two years transformed what we once knew as an on-premise ecosystem into a global system accessible from anywhere. One is remote work, which began as a temporary measure to get us through the early days of the pandemic and has since become the norm. The other is cloud adoption, which was mainstream even before the pandemic, but has seen another bump in the last two years. As a result, the internet has become the new corporate network. Where do we go from here?

In the Autumn of 2019, Salesforce started on an ambitious journey - to require all of their customers to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) as of February 2022. The journey required the collaboration of every product line and every business function within Salesforce. And the journey potentially required every single one of Salesforce’s customer to deploy new technology and to change all of their user’s behavior. Clearly this would be no simple journey, but it was one with massive rewards for everyone involved. Join Ian Glazer as he discusses the impetus for Salesforce’s MFA push, the challenges of such a large scale endeavor, some of the setbacks and victories along the way, and, most importantly, what you can take from Salesforce’s journey towards complete customer MFA adoption and apply it in your own organization.

Web applications have a new and dangerous security gap which requires attention: client-side security. The code and content that a web application delivers into a web browser is a ripe attack surface and requires different consideration, tools, and knowledge than required by traditional web application security. This segment will explore what client-side security is, why client-side attacks are so dangerous, and what options are available to defend ourselves from this new threat.

According to CybeReady, during such turbulent times, one should regard all emails with extra caution and double-check the sender’s address carefully. Beware of requests that ask for technical assistance such as running software or helping to take down websites. These might not only be illegal but may also be used to hack systems on the corporate network. Try to remember that during times of crisis, there is an increase in phishing attempts of all kinds as hackers take advantage of the situation. In this circumstance, employees need to stay updated from both a news and computing perspective. To be proactive in the defense of computing environments, our security experts recommend:
1. Personal computer and phones: Install the latest operating system and security updates.
2. Implement 2FA/MFA: Use a phone number or authentication app as the second factor of authentication to all important applications, social media accounts (Facebook/Meta, Linkedin, Twitter, etc.), and personal email accounts. Backup email and ensure it is recoverable.
3. Change Passwords: If you are reusing a password in sites that hold your personal information, it is a good time to change your passwords.
4. Support a Culture of Security: Train your employees continuously, advise friends and family to do the same, and take an active role in creating a safer internet.
5. Defend Work from Home Environments: Install the operating system and security updates. If these are available you should see a notification on your computer or phone. Especially important to business continuity in these times of uncertainty is the need for automated cybersecurity training that adapts to employee educational needs and accelerates the learning process.
