Combining elements of information security, business continuity, and organizational resilience, a cyber resilience strategy can enable rapid recovery from an inevitable attack with little to no operational disruption.
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.
Hackers were impersonating cybersecurity companies by sending phishing emails asking the target to callback to resolve potential network compromise. Victims are then guided to install remote administration tools.
The future of ASM will include the ability to easily access all the information needed to make risk-based business decisions, with both IT and lines of business completely aligned.
Microsoft discovered a coordinated phishing campaign targeting Office 365 users and leveraging an Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) MFA bypass to execute business email compromise (BEC) attacks and commit fraud.
Fake crypto apps have grown to be a significant problem in the United States, with the FBI reporting a flurry of activity since October 2021. The agency has logged at least 244 victims during this period.
Cyber insurance has become fiendishly difficult and extremely expensive to secure and maintain. Businesses looking to obtain cyber insurance would be wise to adhere to the principles of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA).
The Cyber Safety Review Board finds that the open source community is "under-equipped" to fully deal with the Log4j vulnerability and that it will be making appearances in the wild for "a decade or more."
Material risk-based cyber threat intelligence (CTI) can help financial companies remain in compliance while exploring up-to-date cyber threat protection and can help organizations find, respond to, and remediate cyberattacks before significant damage is done, while accelerating compliance and risk posture.
Tekken, Elden Ring, Gundam and Pac-Man game publisher Bandai Namco confirmed a suspected BlackCat ransomware attack that potentially exposed sensitive customer information.
Here are the most significant cyber threats in 2022, and how some straightforward actions can spare your data from costly and time-consuming cyber attacks.
