Anyone who has ever read a vulnerability scan report will know that scanners often include a large number of findings they classify as "Info". Typically this is meant to convey general information about the target systems which does not pose any risk. Many people who read such reports will generally ignore all of the "Info" findings, and focus only on anything labeled "Critical" or "High". However, this can be dangerous for a number of reasons.

Wireshark is a free open source tool that analyzes network traffic in real-time for Windows, Mac, Unix, and Linux systems. It captures data packets passing through a network interface (such as Ethernet, LAN, or SDRs) and translates that data into valuable information for IT professionals and cybersecurity teams. Wireshark is a type of packet sniffer (also known as a network protocol analyzer, protocol analyzer, and network analyzer).

A bipartisan Senate bill would require some businesses to report data breaches to law enforcement within 24 hours or face financial penalties and the loss of government contracts. The legislation from Senate Intelligence Chair and Democratic Senator Mark Warner with Republican Senators Marco Rubio and Susan Collins is just one of several new cybersecurity bills that will likely be debated this year. If passed, the bill could require certain U.S.

IT/OT convergence is an oft-repeated term, and maybe it’s the wrong term. From a technology standpoint, IT/OT convergence has been occurring since at least the 1990s when HMI/Operator Stations began running on Windows and when Ethernet began displacing deterministic custom LAN protocols in the OT realm. This technology convergence has continued with networking, cybersecurity, virtualization, edge, zero trust, etc.

The need to employ data governance over sprawling repositories is essential in any industry, but it is especially important for the life sciences. The amount and types of data produced are not easily reviewed and organized. The value and sensitivity of the data makes it a lucrative target for cyber attacks. Egnyte’s data governance features give you more control over your data integrity, data privacy, and data security policies across a multitude of public cloud repositories.

The Splunk Threat Research Team has assessed several samples of Trickbot, a popular crimeware carrier that allows malicious actors to deliver multiple types of payloads.

The recent pandemic pushed medical facilities and staff to the brink, taxing resources, exhausting employees, and disrupting decades of norms and protocols. It also accelerated technological trends that were quickly becoming popular, namely the centrality of technology and data in patient care. Today, many medical practices are digital-first operations, embracing telehealth and remote work at far greater levels than before the pandemic.

The right-to-left override attack may be unassuming but incredibly malicious. Most people have heard about phishing attacks, but they think that opening a file with the ".txt" extension is harmless.

On May 12, 2021, President Biden signed an executive order calling on federal agencies to improve their cybersecurity practices. Following the recent SolarWinds and Colonial Pipeline attacks, it is clear that security incidents can severely impact the economy and civilians' day-to-day lives and that cybersecurity needs to be a high-priority issue. We encourage you to read the full executive order.

Our current global landscape is testing resiliency. As organizations continue to shift to a remote work business model, the rush to digitally transform has created new and heightened cyber risk concerns. Protecting these digital connections needs to stay top of mind for leaders looking to help their organizations adapt to these changes while continuing to innovate. In this blog, we will look to set the cyberscene and focus on a security first mindset.
