Why This Debate Matters for Enterprise Security and Compliance The conversation around cloud security has changed. What used to be a technical question — “where should our data live?” — is now a strategic one: “can our cloud infrastructure meet the compliance standards our business requires?” For highly regulated enterprises — from defense contractors handling … Read more
In today’s compliance landscape, security isn’t a buzzword — it’s a requirement baked into every enterprise contract. For any organization serving the public sector or handling regulated data, the phrase “FedRAMP High” is more than jargon. It’s the dividing line between systems that can be trusted with sensitive information and those that can’t. But what … Read more
Compliance Is No Longer a One-Time Event For organizations operating in regulated federal or enterprise environments, compliance has evolved from a periodic project into a continuous obligation. Under frameworks like the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), staying authorized isn’t about achieving compliance once — it’s about proving it every month. Continuous monitoring has … Read more
In 2025, enterprise resilience is no longer about surviving disruptions — it’s about preventing them. The global business landscape has reached a point where cyber incidents, insider leaks, and compliance failures aren’t if events — they’re when events. For years, organizations focused on perimeter defense: firewalls, endpoint protection, and intrusion detection. But the real vulnerability … Read more
A decade ago, M&A due diligence was about numbers. Financial statements, legal disclosures, and operational documents filled virtual data rooms. But in 2025, the diligence landscape looks radically different. Today’s transactions are governed by cyber risk, ESG accountability, and AI governance — three dimensions that didn’t exist in the playbooks of traditional deal teams. Regulators … Read more
By 2025, the security perimeter is gone. Contractors, agencies, and regulated enterprises no longer assume trust just because a user is “inside the network.” As threats grow more sophisticated and supply chains more complex, Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) has become the defining security model across federal IT—and AWS GovCloud (US) is now the anchor platform … Read more
Over the last decade, the U.S. government’s cloud adoption journey has shifted from cautious experimentation to full-scale modernization. Agencies that once hesitated to move sensitive workloads off-premises now rely on cloud platforms as the backbone of mission-critical operations. But this shift has also made compliance more urgent than ever. Federal rules, defense mandates, and security … Read more
Understanding the SEC’s 4-Day Breach Disclosure Rule In July 2023, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted new cybersecurity disclosure rules that put public companies on a strict timeline. When a company determines that a cyber incident is “material,” it must disclose the incident via a Form 8-K within four business days of that … Read more
NIS2 is not a gentle refresh of Europe’s cybersecurity rules: it expands scope, gives regulators sharper tools, and raises the ceiling on fines. The law is now national law across the EU through Member State transpositions of Directive (EU) 2022/2555, with supervisors empowered to conduct inspections, require corrective measures, and sanction management for persistent failures. … Read more
The Pentagon is no longer soft-pedaling security. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program is moving from talking points to timing: the Department of Defense has set a staged rollout with Phase 1 self-assessments beginning November 10, 2025, then requirements phasing into solicitations and contracts over several years. The schedule and mechanics live on the DoD … Read more
