IBM Maas360: PowerShell script execution via Windows app-catalog

This feature will now give control to our Maas360 admin on how apps will appear in the managed Google Play Store on Android devices by providing a way to arrange and organize apps from MaaS360 portal.Comes with two modes:BasicAdvanced

User Manager policy are policies that outlines the rules and restrictions for user management on Android systems. This video helps in understanding how to configure UserManager policies in Android devices .MaaS360 has implemented a generic way to support upcoming User Manager policies as well.Administrators can add the UserManager policies with custom settings in the form of UserManager.constant. To obtain the keys, enrollment types, and the supported android versions admin can refer the user manager Google documentation https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/UserManagerDocumentation Link :https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/maas360?topic=devices-configuring-usermanagerconstant-policy

This presentation outlines the process for administrators to set a minimum operating system (OS) version limit for enrolling Android devices using MaaS360. We will explore two primary methods for achieving this : 1. The Compliance Rules method, which checks for OS version compatibility after device enrollment, and the 2. Minimum OS Version for Enrollment method, which prevents devices with unsupported OS versions from enrolling altogether, including how to customize error messages for users who attempt to enroll devices that do not meet the requirements. We will see how these settings enhance device security and streamline the enrollment process, ensuring that only compliant devices access organizational resources.

The average cost of a data breach is continually rising, and IBM’s 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report offers valuable insights into the ever-evolving threat landscape. The report, compiled through research conducted by Ponemon Institute, serves as a critical resource for businesses worldwide, helping them understand the financial and operational impacts of data breaches. The study includes data from 604 organizations across 17 industries and 16 countries, examining breaches that ranged from 2,100 to over 100,000 compromised records. As the digital landscape continues to grow, this year’s report highlights several key trends, challenges, and opportunities for organizations to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses.

Recognizing that identity has become the new security perimeter, enterprises will continue their shift to an Identity-First strategy, managing and securing access to applications and critical data including Gen AI models. Given the maturation of new quantum-safe cryptography standards, there will be a drive to discover encrypted assets, and accelerate modernisation of cryptography management.

IBM announced Autonomous Security for Cloud (ASC), an AI-powered solution from IBM Consulting designed to automate cloud security management and decision-making to help mitigate risk for organizations accelerating their cloud journey on Amazon Web Services ( AWS ) environments. To address those needs, IBM’s ASC solution will leverage Amazon Bedrock generative AI technology to automate, evolve and enforce client-chosen security controls quickly.

The expensive rules and custom event properties reports provide a way to investigate performance bottlenecks in the event processing pipeline.This video showcases how to work with them on both QRadar SIEM and QRadar SaaS.

This means that as your business evolves — whether you’re adding new cloud services, changing configurations, or scaling up — your security and compliance framework automatically adjusts in real-time. ASC is a groundbreaking solution that automates the complex tasks involved in securing your cloud environment and making it compliant with regulatory and organizational standards.

Insider Brief In data security, IBM is taking a bold step into the future with its Quantum Safe enhancements for IBM Guardium. Eric Maass, Director of Product Management at IBM, recently went into this cutting-edge technology during an IBM TechXchange Community webinar with Stephanie Graves, Senior Manager, Analyst Relations at IBM. As quantum computing moves

A security operations center (SOC) continuously monitors IT systems in banks and insurance companies to detect and respond to ICT incidents and cyber threats at an early stage. The aim of this reporting system is to ensure that relevant information is quickly communicated to all responsible authorities, enabling them to assess the impact of an incident on the company and the financial market in a timely manner and respond accordingly.

IBM Security Verify Access, an authorization and network security policy management solution, was discovered by IT security researcher Pierre Barre to be impacted by 32 security vulnerabilities, at least half of which could have been leveraged to facilitate total authentication infrastructure compromise, according to SecurityWeek.Malicious multi-factor authenticators could be added by threat actors to ISVA through the abuse of the solution’s authentication bypass issue and back-end access, which could then allow complete infrastructure takeovers, noted Barre. “Note that even with network restrictions, a low privileged user on a trusted machine can fully compromise the authentication solution, since the back-end used to manage the entire authentication infrastructure can be reached without authentication by sending a specific HTTP header,” Barre said. With IBM refusing to address the flaws as it passed the responsibility of communications filtering to their customers, organizations have been urged by Barre to mitigate the threat through network segmentation and the adoption of additional authentication measures.Get essential knowledge and practical strategies to fortify your network security.

Moor Park High School and Sixth Form in Preston, Lancashire, has received an in-kind £396,113.50 grant from IBM. The grant, to help support cybersecurity preparedness, provides the school with access to IBM’s Service Corps and SkillsBuild programs to help address rising cybersecurity threats faced by educational institutions globally.As part of the grant, IBM Service Corps will work with Moor Park to implement cybersecurity services, which include incident response plans, ransomware playbooks, and strategic communication plans to manage potential cyber incidents. Faculty and students will also benefit from training on IBM’s SkillsBuild platform, which offers free educational resources in AI, cybersecurity, and other key technology fields.The education sector has increasingly become a target for cyberattacks, largely due to limited security resources and the substantial amounts of personal data held by schools. Cybercriminals often exploit vulnerabilities in educational institutions, with phishing and credential exploitation cited as frequent entry points in IBM’s 2024 X-Force Threat Intelligence Index. Troy Bettencourt, IBM X-Force Global Partner, stated:
