FedRAMP Deviation Requests: When and How to Submit
FedRAMP is a government-wide program meant to ensure a standardized baseline for information security throughout the cloud service providers working with the federal government. It’s a tall order. Setting forth standards that are robust enough to cover all the bases, while being open and flexible enough to cover every CSP, is not easy. NIST has……

When it fails, what do you do?” This critical question from Spire Connect’s Pankaj Sharma set the stage at Gitex 2025 for a conversation with Francois Driessen, the “Human Ambassador” of ADAMnetworks. His core message is blunt: in cybersecurity, even real-time is not fast enough. By the time a threat is detected,…

CISOs must prove the business value of cyber, the right metrics can help
Cybersecurity as a business function: “The challenge has been that security is put in the wrong organizational structure, with the CISO reporting to the CIO or CTO or chief digital officer,” Oberlaender says. “Security is not foremost a technology problem. Maybe ten or twenty percent is technology. But the rest is people, process and the…

CMMC Media Sanitization Methods for NIST 800-88
Companies that need to comply with CMMC to earn their governmental contracts have a lot of work ahead of them. Securing their systems against intrusion and protecting data from breaches, malicious actors, and snooping is all part and parcel of the program. One aspect of information security that can be distressingly easy to overlook is……

Without pre-existing linkage…
