The Rising Cost of Cyberattacks
Cyberattacks are becoming more frequent, and the cost of these attacks is rising rapidly. In 2021, the average data breach cost was $4.24 million, which is expected to continue to increase. Cyberattacks can also lead to reputational damage, lost customers, and legal liability. The estimated average data breach cost in 2023 is $5.13 million.
The Importance of Cyber Resilience for Business Continuity
Cyber resilience is essential for business continuity because it helps organizations protect critical assets like data, systems, and processes. A cyber-resilient organization can maintain operations in the face of a cyberattack, even if some methods are disrupted. This can minimize downtime, protect revenue, and maintain customer confidence.
How to Develop a Cyber Resilience Strategy
Developing a cyber resilience strategy is complex, but it is essential for any organization that wants to protect itself from cyberattacks. A cyber resilience strategy should include several components, such as:
Cyber insurance can help organizations to manage the financial risks associated with cyberattacks. Cyber insurance can cover the costs of data breaches, cyber extortion, and other cyber-related losses.
The Future of Cyber Resilience
Cyber resilience is a continuous process, and organizations must constantly adapt their strategies to keep up with the evolving threat landscape. As new technologies emerge and cyberattacks become more sophisticated, organizations must proactively protect their systems and data.
Cyber resilience has become a critical component of business continuity in today’s ever-evolving digital landscape. This newsletter explores the importance of cyber resilience and how it can help organizations protect themselves from cyberattacks and maintain operations in the face of disruption.
Businesses depend highly on technology to operate and thrive in today’s interconnected world. However, this reliance also makes them vulnerable to cyberattacks, which can cause significant damage to their reputation, finances, and operations. Cyber resilience is an organization’s ability to anticipate, withstand, and recover from cyberattacks. It is not just about preventing attacks but also about being able to bounce back quickly and effectively when they occur.

As more and more DevOps teams employ API-driven development, it is more important than ever to assure API security. This newsletter will examine the best practices for securing data in transit between applications and services.
APIs are essential to contemporary software development. They enable communication between applications and external services, such as payment processors and social media platforms. However, malicious actors can also take advantage of APIs. If an API is compromised, attackers could steal sensitive data, disrupt operations, or even take control of applications.
API security is the responsibility of DevOps teams throughout the development lifecycle. This includes protecting data in transit between applications and services. This newsletter will discuss recommended practices for API security in DevOps, such as:
Encryption is one of the most effective methods for safeguarding data in transit. Encryption scrambles data so that unauthorized parties cannot read it. Numerous encryption algorithms and protocols are available, including Transport Layer Security (TLS) and IPsec.
DevOps teams should configure their applications and services to use HTTPS to encrypt data in transit. HTTPS is a secure version of the HTTP protocol that encrypts all transmitted data between client and server.
Authentication and authorization are essential for protecting APIs from unauthorized access. The authentication process verifies the authenticity of the user or application requesting API access. The commission determines if the authenticated user or application can execute the requested action.
Some authentication and authorization mechanisms, such as OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, are available. DevOps teams should select authentication and authorization mechanisms suited to their particular requirements.
A web application firewall (WAF) is a security device to defend APIs against attacks. WAFs can filter and block malicious traffic, including SQL injection and cross-site scripting attacks.
Before deploying APIs, DevOps teams should employ WAFs to defend them from common attacks. In addition, WAFs can enforce API security policies such as rate limiting and IP address barring.
Monitoring APIs for suspicious activity is essential to detect and mitigate attacks quickly. DevOps teams should employ monitoring solutions to monitor API traffic and identify anomalies.
Monitoring solutions can also generate alerts when suspicious activity is detected. This enables DevOps teams to respond rapidly to attacks and minimize their impact.
