Deep within data lies stories that can help businesses of all shapes and sizes see hidden detail – and act on it. Take a US healthcare provider, for example, who came to us with a pressing issue: the greatest cause of its patient dissatisfaction was due to waiting times. When were the longest peaks? Where was the epicenter of the backlog? And once this was known, what targeted processes could be introduced to speed things up?
The majority of today's web applications contain dangerous vulnerabilities. To analyze their security, one cannot do without a dynamic scanner. DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) tools allow you to detect and evaluate security problems quickly. Let me tell you what to look for when choosing such a tool.
Last year the Log4J vulnerability perfectly illustrated how properly shared SBOMs would have helped users find and mitigate the “vulnerability of the decade”. And over the last few days we’ve been worried that we’re in the same place with OpenSSL 3.x. Why will this keep on happening? A lot has happened since The White House issued Executive Order 14028.
In this episode of the Future of Security Operations, Thomas speaks with Andrew DiMichele, Director of Security Operations at Redis, whose background is building security operations programs. Andrew's security journey began in the US Air Force Reserves and has brought him to CISCO, banking, IBM, and Citrix.
Vulnerability management can be more than just running scans and sorting by Common Vulnerability Scoring System scores! Take your program to the next level by adding a threat-based approach to vulnerability management by combining the hacker mindset with cyber threat intelligence. With so many vulnerabilities published daily, having a team knowledgeable with the latest threats can help IT teams quickly identify assets that require expedited remediation.
Phishing is a well known threat that users are constantly being warned about, but as we are in Cybersercurity Awarenss Month though, some may still be wondering what exactly phishing is and how to prevent it. In this blog, I am going to dig into how you can recognize phishing and how enabling multi-factor authentication can help keep you safe.
Perhaps it’s fitting that 2022 Cybersecurity Awareness Month ended on Halloween as there are a few similarities that can be drawn between these two events. Cyberattacks are scary. Ransomware is kind of like to older kids threatening to egg your house unless you give them all your candy. And is there really a difference between a child dressed up as Buzz Lightyear or Captain Marvel and a well-crafted socially engineered phishing email? After all, neither are as they appear…..
The cybersecurity industry’s current struggle — to close a significant gap between the numbers of job openings and qualified candidates — began years before the coronavirus pandemic sparked the Great Resignation. Today, (ISC)² reports a global cybersecurity workforce gap of 2.7 million people. The pandemic did compel enterprises to accelerate their migration of applications to the cloud, increasing the challenge for already-overwhelmed security teams.
