Relying solely on log analytics is a cybersecurity strategy that should be in the rearview mirror. Organizations need to prioritize immediate and precise threat detection with proactive response mechanisms.
Fraud detection and cybersecurity have traditionally been separate disciplines. However, increasingly sophisticated attacks, especially those targeting APIs with malicious bots, demand a more integrated defense.
In this article, we move beyond the buzzword to understand the high costs of passwords, the distinction between passwordless and password-free, what a world without passwords would look like and how we can finally get there.
While the Executive Order primarily focuses on concrete steps the federal government must take to adopt cybersecurity best practices, there are several provisions that will also significantly impact government contractors, subcontractors and other private sector entities.
Setting the direction towards leading standards in authentication, encryption and data compliance will yield great benefits as these approaches begin to be increasingly implemented across public and private areas.
The number of cyberattacks continues to rise and organisations need to come to terms with the fact that traditional approaches to mitigating the effects of malicious attacks may no longer be viable. One of these approaches is to harness the power of big data technology to help companies improve their proactive and reactive cyber-defence capabilities. David White and Annie Tu examine how old approaches may be found wanting and a paradigm based on new defence models can help companies not only stop hackers, but also help to better identify and respond to malicious activities.
Big Data is revolutionizing how and why potential threats are detected, and demanding a substantial shift in next generation SIEM.
While one might think that health care providers are the primary entities that could potentially leak, share, or exploit private patient data, the truth is that the most audacious HIPAA violations are being perpetrated every day by Big Tech.
Big tech companies are pushing for watered-down privacy regulations that would largely permit them to continue doing business as usual. There is reason to suspect that these tech companies now view federal privacy regulations as a way to construct barriers and moats around their core business.
Proposed bill requires American tech companies to put encryption backdoors in their products for law enforcement access which can be potentially exploited by hackers.
