Unfortunately ransomware attacks have taken another victim. The City of Dallas recently confirmed that their police department suffered a ransomware attack. This attack shutdown essential services along with some 911 dispatch systems. This was announced in a statement by the city in a press release. "Wednesday morning, the City’s security monitoring tools notified our Security Operations Center (SOC) that a likely ransomware attack had been launched within our environment.

Organizations can reduce security risks in containerized applications by actively managing vulnerabilities through scanning, automated image deployment, tracking runtime risk and deploying mitigating controls to reduce risk Kubernetes and containers have become de facto standards for cloud-native application development due to their ability to accelerate the pace of innovation and codify best practices for production deployments, but such acceleration can introduce risk if not operationalized properly.

Kubernetes is an open-source platform that enables the management of containerized applications with ease. The platform is portable and flexible, working across various environments, including Linux, MacOS, and Windows.

Our latest report gathered answers from 507 IT and security decision-makers to study awareness about the risks posed by secrets sprawl and operational maturity in large enterprises.

In life, you get a lot of different alerts. Your bank may send emails or texts about normal account activities, like privacy notices, product updates, or account statements. It also sends alerts when someone fraudulently makes a purchase with your credit card. You can ignore most of the normal messages, but you need to pay attention to the fraud alerts. Security is the same way.

A hardware security key, also known as a security key, is a physical form of authentication that provides you with access to systems, applications and accounts. Hardware security keys are often used as a second form of authentication or as a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) method. Read on to learn more about hardware security keys and the advantages and disadvantages of using them.

The U.S. federal government tends to move very slowly – except when it comes to zero-trust cybersecurity. The drive to get all agencies to zero trust is cruising along at warp speed, as evidenced by White House Executive Order 14028, CISA’s Zero Trust Maturity Model, OMB OMB M-22-09 and the DoD zero trust strategy and roadmap, all of which were released within the span of less than two years.

The power of the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform lies in its ability to detect and protect customers from new and unknown threats by leveraging the power of the cloud and expertly built machine learning (ML) models. In real-world conditions and in independent third-party evaluations, Falcon’s on-sensor and cloud ML capabilities consistently achieve excellent results across Windows, Linux and macOS platforms.

Cyber attacks are increasing. You’ve seen the headlines about ransomware and business email compromise and various social engineering tricks, and they’re all true. The cybercrime landscape is growing in volume and complexity, vulnerability numbers are increasing year over year, and user error is leading to over a quarter of incidents observed by Arctic Wolf® Incident Response.

Data breaches and cyberattacks have become worryingly commonplace in today’s digital world, and cybersecurity and cyber resilience are now crucial for every organization, small and large. These two strategies work together to protect data at different stages of a cyberattack. Ideally, organizations should rely on both to achieve maximum cyber protection.
