Zero Trust Rising
Cybervizer
February 28, 2021
Zero Trust is being counted on more than ever for cybersecurity and now the NSA has issued Zero Trust guidance for Department of Defense (“DOD”) to protect their critical networks and data. However, it is not only for highly secretive environments like NSA and DOD, but also a great idea for any organization in both private and public sector with cybersecurity concerns as Zero Trust can be transformative for their security posture and more than meet any due-care or fiduciary responsibilities.

A Security-first Mindset In Your Organization Is Critical
Cybertvizer
January 11, 2021
It is so critical to create a security-first mindset in your organization. Too many organizations treat security as something they must tolerate or work around. Out in the field, For example, I have heard several executives say that they can’t implement a simple and standard security policy because the business believes it doesn’t support growth, no budget or they fear it might hinder salespeople. That is until the inevitable breach happens and then there is budget and a bunch of executives pointing fingers. That may sound cynical, except I have seen it several times in the last two months and many times before that.

Cybervizer
January 09, 2021
In the field, we are seeing a great deal of extortion, as a backup to the ransom not being paid by organizations hit by ransomware. Once they have the proper access internally, they are often able to pipe out some of the data before encrypting, thereby giving them a backup should the organization choose not to pay.

Cybersecurity in a Rapidly Evolving Threat Landscape
LinkedIn
October 26, 2020
It’s hard to imagine modern life (particularly with the recent emphasis on remote work) without the level of connectivity we currently enjoy. Businesses are hard at work increasing the capability of that connectivity: We’re connecting more and more devices through the Internet of Things (IoT), and making a leap forward in speed, bandwidth and reduced latency with 5G. This trend of exponential growth of devices is expected to continue for the foreseeable future and it will bring a larger attack surface and many new threat vectors to the security equation.

The CyberSecurity Intelligence Report - Bot Mitigation & Management
Oracle
February 04, 2019
Cybersecurity is like fighting a never-ending battle against a relentless foe. It’s not about wiping out the threat for good; it’s about staying one step ahead.

Bot Management is a crucial tactic in this ongoing battle. Right now, over 50% of internet traffic is bots. However, not all bot traffic is bad. For example, search engine and RSS bots help your site increase visibility and provide real-time content updates. The challenge is both telling human from bot and good bot from bad. We created this briefing to help organizations take control of their cybersecurity, starting with bot management and mitigation. We asked cybersecurity experts for their best tips on identifying bots, mitigating damage, and creating a culture of security in your organization.

2023 Predictions for Cybersecurity

Date : December 15, 2022

"As we head into 2023, the unprecedented convergence of geopolitical tensions, rising attack surfaces, supply chain obstacles, intensifying threat vectors, economic instability, and a pandemic have forced organizations and individuals to adapt in ways that will forever shape our lives and how businesses secure themselves. The far-reaching implications of these events will be felt throughout 2023, and reinforces the need to be proactive in quantifying and mitigating cyber risk both personally and professionally. Quantifying cyber risk is critical to understanding their cyber spend and also how they cyber insure to cover any unacceptable risk. Due to all these issues cybersecurity teams are burnt-out, over-worked and facing greater threats than ever before and it is impacting their cyber efforts and affecting us all both personally and professionally.

Therefore, many organizations and their leadership are putting greater thought into automation and artificial intelligence to help take some of the load off of their over-worked security teams and also to allow for their leadership and teams to accomplish more with less. This is especially important given the rise in the number of attacks and their increasing sophistication. AI and automation can be used to handle some of this tedious and time-consuming work and give leadership greater visibility into their security environment. Lastly, threat intelligence and incident response were receiving more attention and greater acceptance in the second half of 2022 and rightfully so. We should expect that to continue to accelerate throughout 2023."

2022 Predictions for Cybersecurity

Date : December 03, 2021

In 2022, public and private sector organizations and their CIOs and CISOs will face a far more challenging cybersecurity environment as cyber-attacks are increasingly more sophisticated and destructive, even using artificial intelligence. This alarming evolution that affects almost everyone coupled with the rapid digital transformation of nearly every organization globally has dramatically increased the attack surfaces and number of threat vectors for organizations big and small. According to a recent report by Shred-it, 67% of small businesses in the U.S. do not have an incident response plan. This lack of preparedness is likely even worse globally. The truth is most organizations have spent money, time, and resources on prevent and detect and very little on respond leaving them vulnerable and at high risk. Therefore, many leading organizations, their boardrooms and leadership are thinking about cybersecurity differently and assuming they will be hit at some point and investing to be better prepared if they do. They are increasingly looking to other technologies and cyber frameworks like the cloud, Zero Trust, machine learning, NIST, Identity and Access Management, threat intelligence and others. This trend will continue throughout 2022 and beyond as the stark reality that these nefarious activities are not decreasing but increasing as the bad actors continue to profit from it.
