Every person in an organisation has the potential to enhance security. Physical office barriers were removed during the pandemic, exposing companies to countless vulnerabilities as attack avenues have multiplied. However, this does not mean that all was lost. What it signals is the importance of promoting a culture of security across the entire corporate environment, no matter how broadly that environment lies.
As the cyber threat evolves, adversaries are increasingly targeting non-publicly disclosed vulnerabilities in the software supply chain. Attackers are able to stealthily travel between networks because to a vulnerability in the supply chain. To combat this risk, the cybersecurity community must center its efforts on protecting the software development lifecycle.
The world of cybersecurity is extremely diligent. In a terrain that is ever-evolving, security experts need to combat a growing population of threat actors by deploying increasingly cultivated tools and techniques. Today, with enterprises functioning in an atmosphere that is more challenging than ever, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) play a vital role. As threats become more critical across the board, an Intrusion Detection System can save your business.
Cybersecurity professionals are always looking to keep up with new and changing threats, as well as developing new tactics and technologies to guard against cyberattacks. Traditional approaches to security are focused on defensive or reactive measures, generally blocking attacks from coming in, or responding to attacks once they happen. Unfortunately, these methods may not be enough to satisfactorily address the threats in question.
Do ransomware gangs actually have a heart? Perhaps... Just days before Christmas, on the night of Sunday 18 December 2022, Canada's Hospital for Sick Children (better known as SickKids) was hit by a ransomware attack. The Toronto-based teaching and research hospital reported that the attack had impacted its internal systems, phone lines, and website.
Tripwire recently announced the release of Tripwire Enterprise (TE), version 9.0, Axon Agent 3.27, and TE Agent 9.0.0. While the full list of features may be viewed on our web site, as a product manager, I wanted to take some time to introduce some of the changes in this new release.
In the language of technology, a sandbox is a safe testing environment that is isolated from the rest of your network or system. Developers use sandboxes to test their code before deployment. In cybersecurity, suspicious and potentially unsafe programs, software, and attachments are executed in sandboxes to detect malware and to avoid any harm implicated by them. The use of a sandbox enables you to safely download, open, examine, or run unknown files, providing an additional layer of security.
CISOs – the senior level executives responsible for developing and implementing cybersecurity programs for corporations and other organizations – are not happy campers these days. And it’s not just because they are chronically understaffed and under constant pressure.
The popularity of electric vehicles is partly a response to the desire of achieving sustainability and carbon footprint reduction. Automobile manufacturers are making substantial investments to tackle emissions issues, create environment-friendly vehicles, and align with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) requirements. To achieve brand edge and investment appeal, automakers market ESG as a business strategy.
Are you sitting comfortably? Then let us begin… No, this isn’t the start of some Christmas fairy tale… it’s how I begin reading most reports which cover the last 12 months in Cybersecurity, and there are quite a few to look at. But for me, the one I value most is the ENSIA Threat landscape (ETL) report, which is now in its tenth year.
