Today’s digital age is a lot like the wild west. Cyber threats are like those old-time outlaws, always looking for a way to sneak into your operations. And just like in those classic westerns, it’s not enough to know there’s a bandit around; you’ve got to be quick on the draw to respond. That’s where we see a lot of businesses facing a real challenge. The Wild West of Cyber… Read More
Being in the cloud doesn’t mean your organization is secure. Maintaining proactive threat detection and response in the cloud is a constant, proactive process. What is meant by cloud security? While a cloud provider is responsible for securing their underlying infrastructure (physical, network, and host security), as an organization and user, you are responsible for securing your applications, data, user access, and configurations within your cloud environment. Mitigating cyber-risk requires… Read More
In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, the once-clear boundaries between network resilience and cybersecurity are increasingly blurred. These two critical areas have become interdependent, each reinforcing the other to create a robust defense against the myriad of threats targeting modern businesses. A solid security stance in today’s digital age demands a holistic approach, recognizing how network resilience and cybersecurity not only coexist but support and enhance one another. This synergy… Read More
A year ago, generative AI caught most businesses and governments by surprise. And while individuals, organizations, industry and regulators are only starting to scratch the surface discovering the opportunities and risks this new technology introduces—the next disruptor, quantum computing, is already knocking at the door. In fact, during the recent 2024 World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, IBM warned that quantum computing will wreak havoc on cybersecurity by the end of… Read More
When cybercriminals exploit a new vulnerability and attack a big brand company, it dominates news headlines. Yet, the reality is that adversaries persist in the shadows, long after initial reports fade from public view. Take the mass-exploitation of the MOVEit Transfer vulnerability, as just one example. In late May 2023, Progress Software first disclosed a zero-day vulnerability in their managed file transfer solution. The Clop ransomware gang leveraged the vulnerability… Read More
The concept of “shift left” has DevOps origins, and it’s about fostering a culture of responsibility. The aim is to detect issues earlier in a process or cycle, with an awareness that development choices impact the security of an application, its users, and the organization. From a security standpoint, this means integrating security measures at the beginning of the development cycle, rather than as an add-on after completion. Shifting Security… Read More
Last year, a staggering 76% of organizations were targeted by ransomware attacks. Out of those, 64% fell victim to the attack, and only 50% managed to retrieve their data after paying the ransom. Bad Actors Don’t Care What Size You Are While many small and mid-size businesses assume they’re too small to be in the crosshairs, this isn’t the case. Cybercriminals are opportunistic and are always on the lookout for… Read More
In today’s threat landscape, it’s not a matter of if, but when a cyberattack will happen. How you respond to that attack is what truly matters. For this reason, cybersecurity efforts around threat detection and response are a top priority whether you’re a household brand or an up-and-coming business. But where do you start? What cybersecurity threats and solutions should you consider? How do you prioritize your cybersecurity efforts? To… Read More
In a rising tide of sophisticated cyberattacks across all sectors, in order to survive and thrive, organizations must implement advanced threat detection and response measures. The goal is to reduce the amount of time an adversary goes undetected in your environment, known as dwell time. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) has received a lot of attention, as it should. Endpoints are a critical part of a layered defense strategy. That… Read More
The ability to quickly and effectively respond to threats is an essential ingredient of any modern cybersecurity strategy. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, businesses are at risk because cyber criminals are able to bypass older security protocols. In fact, the average total cost of a ransomware breach has reached $4.62 million, according to IBM. Traditional tools are set up to respond after a compromise has occurred. The mindset… Read More
