Why Maintaining Data Cleanliness Is Essential to Cybersecurity
Data cleanliness is crucial for cybersecurity, ensuring data accuracy, completeness, consistency, validity, uniformity, and timeliness. Neglected data hygiene exposes organizations to security threats and compliance failures, impairing operational efficiency and increasing risks. It is essential for proper data classification and effective security tools, helping to prevent breaches and detect cyberattacks. Organizations must commit to ongoing data cleansing practices, establish governance policies, invest in quality solutions, and foster a security-first culture to protect valuable data and maintain compliance.
Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)
Cyber Resilience Act (CRA): EU regulation aimed at enhancing cybersecurity across digital products/services. Mandates security requirements, risk management, incident reporting, and improved supply chain security. Promotes resilience against cyber threats, protects consumers, and fosters trust in digital market.
Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP)
CNAPP integrates cloud security tools for visibility, compliance, threat detection, and workload protection. Simplifies securing cloud-native apps across environments.
Dragos’ Lee Urges Enhanced IT Cybersecurity for Safeguarding Critical OT Infrastructure
Dragos’ CEO Robert Lee emphasizes the need for specialized IT cybersecurity measures to protect operational technology (OT) infrastructure, which is increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. He warns that conflating IT security with OT protection can expose industrial organizations to greater risks. Lee advocates for tailored OT cybersecurity strategies to ensure safe operations across sectors like energy and water. He notes the importance of corporate leadership understanding the distinctions between IT and OT security to make informed decisions and establish effective defenses against rising threats from state actors and criminal groups.

5 Key OT Cybersecurity Strategies From the WEF Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2025
TLDR: The WEF's Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2025 identifies key strategies for industrial organizations to enhance OT cybersecurity against rising threats. Key points include prioritizing OT security amid geopolitical tensions, managing supply chain risks, assessing AI vulnerabilities, adhering to global regulations, and closing the cyber skills gap through training. Collaboration is vital, and organizations should adopt a security-first mindset for resilience in an interconnected landscape.
Microsoft Expanded Cloud Logs Implementation Playbook
Microsoft's Expanded Cloud Logs Implementation Playbook details new logging capabilities in Microsoft Purview Audit for detecting intrusions. It allows organizations to access critical events (like mail activity) and integrate logs into SIEM systems. Aimed at technical personnel, it guides operationalizing these logs in M365 to enhance cybersecurity. Initially available to select federal agencies, now accessible for E3/G3 customers. Feedback can be directed to CISA’s FEIT.

Cybersecurity: Why Protecting Public Data Is Critical
Cybersecurity is critical due to diverse threats targeting public institutions, which hold sensitive data. Organizations must implement robust strategies to protect information systems while ensuring service continuity and citizen rights. France, Poland, and Italy have developed differing approaches, emphasizing critical infrastructure protection and public awareness. The evolving cyber threat landscape demands continuous adaptation and cooperation among EU nations to safeguard citizens and institutions against attacks.
