Security analytics has become an increasingly popular field as more and more organizations take a different tact to cybersecurity. Historically, IT teams focused on prevention and protection, but today’s priority is detection. Hackers tend to use a wide range of ever-changing tools to exploit vulnerabilities. It can feel like whack-a-mole to constantly try to defend against evolving threats.

It’s a sure sign that year-end is fast approaching when stores start to display their holiday merchandise and decorations before Hallowe’en is even over.

Cybersecurity threats evolve constantly, and it’s difficult for any organization to stay ahead of emerging risks. A company’s best defense against security breaches is to understand the tactics that hackers use, and then plan accordingly. In this post we’ll examine one of the common kinds of cyber attacks — a DDoS attack — and discuss how best to protect your network infrastructure.

In May 2021, President Joe Biden signed an executive order (EO) aiming to strengthen America’s cybersecurity. One key point in the EO was the need to improve software supply chain security, and reduce the vulnerabilities that allow adversaries to launch cyberattacks against public and private organizations.

The modern threat landscape has evolved enormously in the past few years. Cybercriminals launch increasingly sophisticated attacks, and these attacks have only gotten worse since the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic and the move to remote work.
