It’s an ever-changing and ever-evolving threat landscape out there today. Bad actors are smarter, more sophisticated, and better at evading detection. Security teams are also facing a barrage of overwhelming information, continually expanding the stream of alerts that must be reviewed, triaged and investigated.
Devo recently announced that it has entered into a strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS). This is a significant milestone for Devo and great news for our mutual customers with AWS. We caught up with Tony Le, cloud partnerships director, to take a deeper dive into what this means and how the collaboration will benefit our users in the long run.
Extortion can simply be defined as “the practice of obtaining benefit through coercion.“ Data and cloud extortion schemes occur when precious data and/or access is stolen by an attacker that promises to restore it through payment or other demands. In this article, we’ll cover some common or uncommon extortion schemes, and highlight ways to detect and avoid falling prey to demands.
We are pleased to announce that Netskope Private Access (NPA) is now available to test drive, meaning you can experience a truly modern zero trust network access (ZTNA) solution firsthand with no commitment and no software to download or install. Selecting and implementing the right ZTNA solution is a crucial part of the SASE journey, and our goal is to make your process of evaluating Netskope Private Access as easy as possible.
As global network infrastructure expands to include devices without traditional compute power, every organization’s attack surface becomes increasingly complex. Parallel to the increased complexity in the threat landscape is the increased scale and complexity of the signals and data necessary to produce meaningful cybersecurity insights. At its core, cybersecurity is a big data problem, requiring centralization of disparate data sources in uniform structure to enable continuous analytics.
Continuing our OT:ICEFALL research, Vedere Labs has disclosed three new vulnerabilities affecting OT products from two German vendors: Festo automation controllers and the CODESYS runtime, which is used by hundreds of device manufacturers in different industrial sectors, including Festo.
As threats have continued to evolve, enterprises have made significant investments in security infrastructure and security operations is maturing. C-Suites and Boards are increasingly involved in security decision making and studies show that they are doubling down on security investments, which are expected to grow from $262.4 billion in 2021 to $458.9 billion in 2025.
Zero trust is a security approach which replaces the traditional network edge. Since network resources can be anywhere – on-premises, in the cloud, or a hybrid of both – zero trust is built towards an identity-centric approach. This places people and resources at the heart of the security architecture.
Many people remember where they were during historic events. Whether it is a personal, or a public occurrence, it’s just human nature to remember these significant moments. Every profession also has its share of memorable events. In medicine, those who were in the profession will remember where they were when they heard about the first heart transplant or the discovery of a cure for a particular disease. In cybersecurity, there are similar events that stick in the mind.
Commando VM is a testing platform that Mandiant FireEye created for penetration testers who are more comfortable with the Windows operating system. Windows Commando VM is essentially the sister to Kali Linux, a Linux testing and malware analysis platform widely used by the penetration testing community. These security testing platforms are packaged with all the common solutions and scripts that a pentester would need for offensive testing.
