With cyberattacks intensifying, U.S. lawmakers are preparing legislation that would require companies to alert the government within 24 hours of a breach, as noted by CNN. "We need the ability to get visibility into national cybersecurity risks," Eric Goldstein, executive assistant director at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, said, as quoted by7 CNN. “We need to understand where adversaries are intruding into networks across this country. We need to understand the techniques that they're using to break in. We need to understand what they are doing or trying to do. The more of that kind of information that we get, we can then protect others." With threats being taken far more seriously, some of the top companies that may be able to assist include Plurilock Security (TSXV:PLUR) (OTC:PLCKF), FireEye Inc. (NASDAQ:FEYE), Palo Alto Networks (NYSE:PANW), Fortinet Inc. (NASDAQ:FTNT), and Check Point Software Technologies (NASDAQ:CHKP).

Check Point Software Technologies, expanded the capabilities of its unified Cloud Native Security Platform, to deliver application-first workload protection with Check Point CloudGuard Workload Protection. This fully automated cloud workload security solution empowers security teams with tools to automate security across applications, Application Programing Interfaces (APIs) and microservices from development to runtime via a single interface. As the COVID-19 pandemic forced enterprises to transition to the new ‘work from anywhere’ environment, cloud became a natural progression for organizations looking to enable their remote workers quickly. As more organizations are still migrating to the cloud in parallel to undergoing the “shift-left” organizational change, security teams find themselves with multiple platforms to manage. These platforms provide neither the visibility nor the ability to protect the rapidly growing cloud workload deployments. In fact, according to a recent survey, 68% of enterprises regard the misconfiguration of cloud assets as one of the biggest contributors to cloud security threats.
