When it comes to product evaluation, you might imagine observing the product's performance in a lab or office setting, but G2 Software Reviews are not of that kind. G2's reviews are based on evaluations from actual users who regularly use the tools. It is not theoretical; being chosen as a leader in the G2 Grid report (Network Monitoring) based on candid feedback from specific users is a great honor. This is the result of evaluations from 130 customers who use Progress's WhatsUp Gold. You can find more details in the related links below.

Active Directory (AD), which is a crucial part of the network, can be considered a lifeline, especially in terms of user and ID management. Many companies position AD as a core directory service, enabling them to identify, track, and manage users and IT assets appropriately. All these IDs are stored in Active Directory, and IT assets are logged. Through this directory data, it is possible to identify breaches and abnormal behavior; however, if Active Directory is not monitored, malicious actors may go unnoticed when they begin to infiltrate the network.

Endpoint protection is the foundation of cybersecurity, but in today's ever-expanding digital environment, endpoints span a wide variety of devices, and traditional endpoint security alone is not sufficient to address the frequent cyberattacks. The proliferation of cloud services, remote work, and expanded system access further amplifies these challenges. In this changing landscape, while additional tools such as Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems are used to enhance security, it has become clear that there is a need for an additional cybersecurity stack that should be built through the analysis of attack data and experience. That is where Network Detection and Response (NDR) comes in. In this blog, we will explain four reasons why NDR is necessary. You can find more details in the related links below.

In the early 1990s, it was common to simply register a company name as a domain name, with a straightforward approach of one domain per company, which incurred very little cost. Nowadays, in order to stay ahead of competitors and protect the brand, it is necessary to register domains for one's own services as well. The situation has changed significantly from the past to the present, but the process of registering a domain name remains an important procedure for supporting online business. In this blog, we will start by explaining what the Domain Name System (DNS) is, and then discuss important DNS servers and their monitoring for infrastructure.

A load balancer, which distributes access to web servers and prevents system outages and other failures, is an essential tool for companies that operate e-commerce sites and online games. Due to the spread of telecommuting and the increasing use of high-definition images and videos within companies, load balancers are now being used by various industries, businesses, and municipalities. With the expansion of these use cases, signs of change are emerging in the needs of companies and organizations regarding load balancers.

In December of last year, the systems of a third-party vendor for Uber Technologies Inc. were attacked by hackers, resulting in a data breach. Details of 77,000 Uber employees were leaked and put at risk. For a company to continuously operate its business, it is necessary to securely retain and transfer electronic files that often contain various confidential information. If a corporate culture exists that does not prioritize the protection of confidential data and tends to postpone it, it cannot avoid cybersecurity incidents. Gartner predicts that cyberattacks related to third parties will continue to increase beyond 2023. You can find more details in the related links below.

Due to a series of ransomware attacks targeting hospitals, there has been a growing interest in cybersecurity among medical institutions. For example, in October 2022, a ransomware attack on a hospital in Osaka rendered electronic medical records unusable, halting outpatient services and taking two months to restore the system using backup data. Given the detailed reports of the serious damage, many inquiries have been received by the agencies (SIers) handling "Flowmon ADS," a ransomware countermeasure solution offered by Progress Software.

In this blog, I would like to discuss personal identifiable information and its protection. First, how is personal identifiable information recognized? The U.S. Federal Government's General Services Administration defines PII as information that can be used to identify or track an individual, either on its own or in combination with other personal information or identifiers linked to a specific individual, and states that specific risks associated with identifying individuals must be assessed on a case-by-case basis. It also points out the importance of recognizing that when additional information is made public, non-PII can become PII. You can find more details about the blog in the related links below.
