Background for this topic.

Adoption is the extent to which people and organizations begin using a security technology, control, policy, or practice and incorporate it into routine work. In cybersecurity, adoption is more than purchasing or deploying a capability: it includes correct configuration, user participation, and continued use. Examples include enabling multifactor authentication, applying security patches, using secure coding practices, and collecting logs from systems that require monitoring.

Adoption matters because uneven or incomplete use leaves exploitable gaps. A partially deployed authentication control may protect some accounts while others remain exposed; delayed patch adoption can leave known vulnerabilities available to attackers; and missing or poorly configured logging can limit detection and investigation. Practitioners therefore assess coverage, exceptions, configuration quality, and whether controls operate as intended. Training, usable workflows, staged rollout, and measured policy compliance can improve adoption without encouraging insecure workarounds or unnecessary collection of personal data.

Why native cloud security falls short

Your cloud security must stand alone Partner Content As cloud adoption accelerates, many organizations are increasingly relying on the native security features offered by cloud service providers (CSPs). The ability to manage web application firewalls (WAF), data encryption, and key management (KMS) within a single provider ecosystem appears efficient and convenient. However, when security and reliability are viewed through the lens of enterprise risk management, this convenience may come at a significant cost.…

Why organizations need a new strategy to break down silos and usher in a new era of risk intelligence Partner Content As cyber risk continues to escalate, many organizations face a disconnect between cybersecurity investments and actual risk reduction. Despite increased security budgets, formal cyber risk programs, and adoption of new frameworks, recent data shows these efforts often fail to lower risk profiles.…

Nobody thinks of running a website without HTTPs. Safer DNS still seems optional Systems Approach Last week I turned on DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) for the systemsapproach.org domain. No need to applaud; I was just trying to get an understanding of what the barriers to adoption might be while teaching myself about the technology.…
