Many of these connected devices are toys that children enjoy, but no matter how fun they may be, challenges have come to the surface due to privacy concerns and socio-political issues pertaining to gender-neutral toys.
It’s often said that humans are the weakest link in cybersecurity. Indeed, I’d have a hard time arguing that a computer that was sealed in a box, untouched by human hand, poses much of a security risk. But a computer that is unused has no purpose. It behooves security practitioners to get smarter about how we teach people to use those machines so that both humans and computers can work together to safely accomplish greater things.
Since NIST Cybersecurity Framework is the best solution for better prevention, detection, and response to cybersecurity incidents, various organizations have adopted it to safeguard their IT assets. The 2019 SANS OT/ICS Cybersecurity Survey spells out the NIST CSF as the number one cybersecurity framework in use today. However, it is imperative to consider that how should we comply with NIST CSF in 2020 and beyond? Here is some help!
This post outlines why endpoint telemetry is now fundamental to reducing the time taken to identify and remediate security incidents.
In honor of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we’ve released a new video series that kicks off with a discussion on the future of IoT devices.
