Dark web marketplaces have a constant tension between maintaining customer service while simultaneously trying to get away with manipulative or even outright customer-hostile measures.
Cyber Security
Cyber criminals, state-sponsored hackers and even the occasional disgruntled employee are constantly looking to gain unauthorized access for a variety of purposes: theft of money, cyber espionage, personal information for sale or for use in scams, and damage to critical infrastructure for just a few of the most common.
So how does an organization mitigate an entire world full of continual cyber attacks? Just as buildings have a number of necessary elements of physical security: access control, cameras, alarms and so on; there are similar key elements of cyber security that are absolutely vital for just about any modern business.
It starts with identifying and closing the most common doors that attackers use. For example, phishing attacks on employees are far and away the most common initial point of entry. The breach of even a low-level employee account can quickly turn into an escalation in access privileges and the ability to reach sensitive information. This is also true of smart devices, which are generally more poorly secured than computers and phones.
Blockchain bridge was hit for about $100 million in crypto hack as attackers potentially exploited a signature vulnerability that security researchers had been warning about on Twitter for months.
Hot Topic has suffered a data breach affecting 57 million retail customers stemming from a compromised cloud account without multi-factor authentication (MFA).
Citing the dangers of “sideloading”, Apple and Google defend themselves by saying their app store policies are necessary to protect their users. But while sideloading can be very risky, it can be done securely through the use of time-tested and effective cybersecurity technologies.
Meeting regulatory and legal compliance standards is not enough for cybersecurity today, effective data security requires companies to have a proactive mindset to challenge, enhance and improve.
Cybersecurity is an ever-changing landscape with attackers constantly trying to develop new threats. See how companies are turning to AI to secure their sensitive data.
An API-first strategy can be a competitive game changer for many businesses, but ensuring businesses stay within data security and governance requirements is critical. Companies need to adopt effective API security and data governance programs.
Just as fraudsters become savvier and use technological advancements to their advantage, banks are fighting back by using the power of technology with the age-old characteristics of human biology.
Factoring External Attack Surface Management (EASM) into the equation means the math is clear for all. Insurance companies can better justify premium prices, while companies can demonstrate their cyber posture when applying for cybersecurity insurance.
The reach of artificial intelligence will affect many areas of technology, but its presence will be acutely felt within both cybersecurity threats and the strength of systems to protect against threats.
