Plus, how to make online safety part of the daily conversations you have with them.

Let’s talk about a less discussed but critical aspect of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) – data management. While the primary goals of SIEM include threat detection, regulatory compliance, and swift response, the backbone of these systems is log message ingestion and storage. The amount of machine data generated from various systems, applications, and security tools is staggering. Storing and processing this data can be costly and inefficient.

This week, during LandForces 2024 archTIS announced the launch of archTIS Trusted Data Integration, a new lightweight, fast, and agile solution for integrating, securing, and governing sensitive and classified structured data from multiple sources at scale and speed.

Achieving Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act compliance is becoming more difficult. While the Act is primarily a financial reporting regulation, it requires all publicly traded companies operating in the United States to maintain the integrity, accuracy, and reliability of financial reporting, which those organizations can only achieve through robust cybersecurity measures. As such, an effective cybersecurity strategy is crucial for achieving SOX compliance.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) recently hosted a webinar to discuss the critical importance of cybersecurity in the healthcare sector, which highlighted the severity of the situation the industry is currently facing. Healthcare organisations are increasingly relying on digital systems to facilitate their daily workflow, but the prevalence of outdated legacy technology in the sector is rendering it vulnerable to cyberattacks with severe consequences.

The 2024 Trustwave Risk Radar Report: Financial Services Sector underscores the escalating threat landscape facing the industry. Deepfakes, highly realistic synthetic media, and the increasing adoption of cryptocurrencies are providing cybercriminals with new avenues to compromise financial institutions. These emerging threats are augmenting the already prevalent ransomware and phishing campaigns, creating a complex and dynamic threat environment.

Authenticator apps help keep our accounts safe from hacking attempts, but they can sometimes be inconvenient. A little-known benefit of using a password manager like Keeper is that it can generate and store Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) codes right in your Keeper Vault, acting as an authenticator app.

There are several ways spyware can get on your phone, such as someone installing it without your knowledge, downloading content from unreliable sources, clicking on malicious links or installing invasive apps. Spyware is a form of malware installed by a cybercriminal to spy on you and steal your personal information. Each type of spyware is designed to do something different, like watch you through your camera, display unwanted advertisements or record your keystrokes.

The security world is awash in acronyms. As a niche in the security world, vulnerability, tracking, measurement, and management is no stranger to inscrutable collections of capital letters. We’ve got NVD, CPE, CWE, CVSS, EPSS, CAPEC, KEV, and of course “CVE”. The key goal of all these frameworks is to try to help folks organize information around vulnerabilities and assess how their presence might increase an organization's exposure.
