Ever thought about what to do to prevent deadly insider attacks? Even with the implementation of intrusion prevention systems and antivirus software, these threats persist. And their cost has risen by 44% over the past two years. In 2023, insiders have been responsible for the unauthorized leakage of almost 1 billion records. Amid this adversity, user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) has emerged as a modern enterprise security solution.

As we mark another Cybersecurity Awareness Month, it's essential to recognize that this is more than a calendar event; it's a wake-up call for proactive vigilance in the digital age. In an environment rife with technological threats, the cornerstone of robust cybersecurity isn't just advanced systems and firewalls—it's informed and empowered individuals. There are three most important insights organizations can learn before implementing any cybersecurity awareness-raising campaign.

Navigating complex cloud networks with multiple clouds while ensuring secure and reliable access to workloads can be daunting. That’s why Netskope and AWS have teamed up to simplify this journey and make it a lot easier. Through the integration of Netskope Borderless SD-WAN with AWS Cloud WAN, teams can automate workload access from any remote site and user laptop, deliver a secure, reliable, flexible, and highly available middle-mile network service leveraging the AWS global network.

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems are the modern guardian angels of cybersecurity, offering robust threat detection, efficient incident response, and compliance tranquility. However, beneath the surface of these promising advantages lie intricate challenges. In this blog post, we delve deep into SIEM implementation challenges. But before diving in, let's first understand what SIEM entails.

Like so many legacy technologies, legacy data loss prevention (DLP) tools fail to deliver the protection today’s organizations need. Implementation challenges, visibility gaps and inconsistent policies negatively impact customers and make data breaches far too easy for adversaries. With U.S. data breach costs averaging a staggering $4.45 million last year, organizations need a way to better secure their data as cloud adoption accelerates and IT environments evolve.

Data governance and protection are crucial in safeguarding sensitive information. Proper classification and data labeling is essential to ensure that the right people access the right information. Failure to implement these practices can result in data breaches, financial loss, and harm to an organization’s reputation.

What is the scariest aspect of deepfake videos and audio? A: How accurate they appear? B: How will threat actors implement these creations? C: The amount of potential damage a deepfake can cause? D: None of the above? My argument would be D. For me, the most frightening aspect is how easy a deepfake video file is to create and the fact that free tools to generate a very realistic fake video of anyone are just a quick Google search away.

In today’s world of limited time, we need to be laser-focused on our priorities. This goes double for mission-critical activities, like cybersecurity. We want to prioritize fixing the issues that have the most significant impact on our security posture. An attack path is like a roadmap for attackers, outlining the steps they can take to exploit security weaknesses.

There’s nothing like kicking back after a long day and catching up with your favorite TV shows. However, the days of password-sharing and ad-free content are long gone, and people are favoring a life of digital piracy over the rising costs of subscription platforms. Want to listen to a new album? Sure, but it’s only available on Tidal. How about that TV show a colleague recommended? Of course! That will be one HBO subscription, please.

It’s that time of year again. Fall leaves are turning colors, families are gearing up for the holidays, and many vendors are releasing different reports during cybersecurity month. Our researchers at Elastic Security Labs released the 2023 Global Threat Report last week after months of analysis on more than 1 billion data points. As the CISO of Elastic, my team and I leveraged last year’s report findings and predictions to strategize for the changing threat landscape.
