Server Message Block (SMB) protocol is a communication protocol that allows users to communicate with remote servers and computers, which they can open, share, edit files, and even share and utilize resources. With the expansion of telecommunications, this protocol has been a prime target for threat actors to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data and devices. In 2017, we introduced 5 general ways to protect your network from SMB risks.

Data privacy continues to be a growing concern for all internet users. While the internet gives us so much more freedom and access to information we might not have otherwise, online privacy continues to be a significant risk. It’s not just cybercriminals that invade your privacy, but businesses as well. Data has become more valuable than ever, and companies will do whatever they can to collect your information. Proxies have been a popular option for protecting your online privacy.

It's that time of year again when the security delegates from Tech Field Day descend on Silicon Valley (well, in this case, descend virtually on Silicon Valley) to hear about the cool new things vendors are doing in the security space. This year, I was fortunate to be one of the presenters at XFD10 along with my partner in crime, Matt Honea, Head of Security and Compliance at Forward Networks.

Social engineering remains one of the top attack vectors that cybercriminals use to execute malicious acts. KnowBe4’s security awareness training and simulated phishing platform allows workforces to make smarter decisions, strengthen an organization’s security culture and human risk by protecting their organization from phishing, social engineering and ransomware.

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the line between the defenders and attackers often blurs, with skills transferable across both arenas. It’s a narrative not unfamiliar to many in the cybersecurity community: the journey from black hat to white hat, from outlaw to protector. In the 15th episode of Cato Networks’ Cyber Security Master Class, hosted by Etay Maor, Senior Director of Security Strategy, we had the privilege of witnessing such a transformative story unfold.
