A new course titled 'Trusted Computing 1102: Intermediate TPM Usage' has been launched to enhance the TPM skills of software developers and students.

Venafi introduces Firefly, the only lightweight machine identity issuer for highly distributed, cloud native environments.

During challenging business conditions, cloud projects offer much-needed opportunities for efficient growth, productivity enhancements, and greater agility.

Venafi has launched TLS Protect for Kubernetes, enabling secure management of machine identities in multi-cloud and multi-cluster Kubernetes environments.

Integration of Venafi's control plane for machine identity management into Tanzu Service Mesh makes it easier to enable multi-cloud, multi-cluster security.

Cert-manager, the standard for TLS machine identity management in cloud native services, multi-cluster environments, achieves key maturity milestone.

Venafi's research reveals growing use of machine identities in state-sponsored cyber attacks amid increasing geopolitical tensions.

Bots and infrastructure-as-code automation are common additions to the business landscape, and their explosion has not gone unnoticed by threat actors.

Malware attacks exploiting machine identities have doubled between 2018 and 2019, says Venafi. Machine-identity-based attacks grew eightfold in the past decade.

Despite the prolific usage of TLS certificates within organisations, many CIOs aren't concerned about security risks associated with TLS machine identities.

Poorly protected machine identities are costing firms between USD $51 billion and USD $72 billion globally, according to a report by Venafi and AIR Worldwide.

These mistakes increase security risks and negatively impact the reliability and availability of business-critical network resources, Venafi has found.

Less than half of DevOps professionals believe developers always request certificates that serve as machine identities through authorised channels.

Eliminating certificate-related outages within complex, multi-tiered architectures can feel like an impossible effort.

Keyfactor and Thales join forces to combat increasing code signing cyber-attacks by integrating Keyfactor's platform with Thales' SafeNet Cloud HSM On-Demand.

A study by Venafi reveals thriving dark web marketplaces selling SSL/TLS certificates for USD $260 to USD $1,600, enabling widespread cybercrime.

The study focused on enterprise machine identity protection challenges and included responses from 350 senior IT security professionals.

As companies integrate more digital tools into their business, many of them remain unaware of the risk code-signing certificates are exposing them to.
