Artificial Intelligence, a digital sharing economy, and various services are changing every aspect of our lives. Global powers are competing for a bigger presence in the new digital economy and trade. Information is the cornerstone of the digital economy. The freedom and openness of the internet, as well as the removal of trade barriers, has opened a new battleground. The recent Covid-19 pandemic has opened a Pandora’s Box with cyber-hackers having ready access.

Reliability is essential to the functionality of an electric power grid. This principle guarantees that a constant qualitative and quantitative supply of electric power is flowing from a provider to businesses, homes and more. It’s what enables electric power to drive life forward in modern society. As a result, there’s reason to be concerned about events that threaten the reliability of the power grid. Those events include misoperations.

The diverse and fast-changing nature of the Managed Detection and Response (MDR) market makes the process even more difficult. A new report, MDR Market Guide: reducing the costs and risks of cybersecurity investments, from independent technology research and analyst house, Bloor, outlines the key features to consider when selecting an MDR provider.

Organizations protect critical assets and sensitive information from the outside world by continually updating their security controls and policies. However, the origin of a breach is not always outside of the organization, and recently, insider breaches have gained attention amid an increase in the flexibility of tools for information sharing. Insider threats can be accidental or intentional, but the impact of insider breaches remain the same.

Today we published the 2020 Devo SOC Performance ReportTM. The subtitle, A Tale of Two SOCs, underscores that there are two types of security operation centers (SOC): those that are performing reasonably well and those that are struggling. As someone who has worked in cybersecurity for more than 20 years, I find the results of our second annual SOC report informative, instructive, and also extremely irritating.

Just as cybersecurity professionals are getting used to the possible implications of quantum computers, a new front opens in the quantum arms race: using quantum computers for encryption. Though quantum computers remain a largely theoretical threat, some researchers are already working on ways to protect systems against the exponential increase in computing power they represent.

Managed SOC, also known as SOC as a Service, is a subscription-based offering whereby organizations outsource threat detection and incident response. Based on the concept of turning an internal security operations center (SOC) into an external cloud-based service, a managed SOC offers IT organizations external cybersecurity experts that monitor your logs, devices, cloud environments, and network for known and evolving advanced threats.

Increasing payment speed and infrastructure complexity is leading to rising payment fraud rates. When it comes to the risk assessment and authentication of real-time payments transactions, the time window for analysis has shrunken to pretty much zero. Some of the challenges banks and credit unions are dealing with today include: The result of these challenges? More real-time payments fraud, mounting financial losses and new questions surfacing over who is liable for the recouping of funds.

In the fast-paced and highly commercialized world of manufacturing, better automation creates a valuable competitive edge. The physical systems leveraged in the industry, the machinery, and the manual processes have all become more automated since the first industrial revolution. Today, smart systems that leverage advanced technologies such as machine learning and integrated IoT control are creating a next-generation industrial environment often termed 4.0.
