As the IoT revolution brings changes to society, it is introducing new classes of risk requiring IoT security to adapt to the changing threat landscape.
Financial institutions are 300 times as likely as other companies to be targeted by a cyberattack. Unfortunately, the systems designed to help (such as alerting or security monitoring tools) can overwhelm a bank’s IT department.
Security Service Edge (SSE) converges multiple cybersecurity capabilities within a single, cloud-native software stack, and is designed to protect all enterprise edges – sites, users and applications, including the IoT-connected points — even as the contours of those edges shift.
Code obfuscation prevents the reverse-engineering of programs and is used to protect sensitive intellectual property (IP) such as algorithms that a company doesn’t want bad actors or competitors to see; the foremost example of this being security code.
Selling customer data such as banking records, vehicle registration and mobile phone usage is big business in China. Recent data theft of 130 million clients of Huazhu Hotels Group saw the stolen payment and contact information going for about US$56,000.
If the goal of the law is to provide rules that are straightforward and consistent with the expectations around the world, other states and Congress would be well advised to follow the example of Virginia.
Nearly half of IT and business leaders said that the expanding attack surface is “spiraling out of control.” But throwing even more tooling and people at the issue doesn’t address the underlying problem which lies in a disconnect between the teams, processes and tools that a CISO probably already has in place.
MFA can be circumvented by modern identity attack techniques. Thwarting cyber attackers starts by understanding the techniques they rely on to bypass MFA protected users, and responding with a holistic, well-rounded identity security strategy that can fill these gaps.
IT security teams need to develop a SaaS management strategy to mitigate and address their shadow applications to mitigate the security and compliance risks shadow IT poses to their organizations.
A CEO’s involvement shouldn’t only come as a last resort. CEOs should take a proactive stance to highlight that security is also in the business’s best interest and can be balanced with the overarching goals of the business. With the CEO on board, the spotlight then shifts back to the CISO who must then begin work to create a security-focused organization.
