With the executive order signed, leading industry standards organizations should be heavily involved to help apply standards and regulations to make sure all connected devices have a proper level of security to create a secure ecosystem and prevent further critical infrastructure attacks.
If you are in the business of IoT, you must not take your users’ data security lightly. The risk is real every step of the way, with cyber hackers waiting to take advantage of an IoT network.
To stop a ransomware attack, you need the capability to detect threats and take action against them before they ever impact your business. Utilizing services such as extended detection and response (XDR) can provide round-the-clock monitoring from a team of cybersecurity experts.
Far from sensationalizing ransomware attacks, our response should be to return to the basics of cybersecurity. This requires a converged IT-OT security strategy to limit damage and protect valuable assets.
Ransomware has quickly grown from an annoyance to a life-threatening problem plaguing organizations in all industries. Organizations should address the two most common attack vectors, open RDP on the internet and the human factor.
Employees are continuously deemed the “weak link” in any organizational cybersecurity simply because convenience is nearly always chosen over security. How can we shift this dynamic?
To prevent a true calamity, we need to bolster our cyber resilience by evolving our approaches and responses to cyber threats, be they ransomware or state-sponsored attacks, by using extensive scenario planning and wargaming.
One overlooked aspect of continuous testing is its potential for the automation of security checks. By utilizing the automated power of continuous penetration testing, a company would no longer need to waste the precious time of their employees.
The pandemic accelerated the transition to cloud-based systems for many organizations. Unsurprisingly, there's an uptick of phishing attacks as cybercriminals took advantage of our collectively distracted attention spans and less-than-stellar security practices.
Complexity of data privacy compliance is significantly increased by growing cloud adoption rates. A delegated governance model based on a centralized platform with decentralized policy implementation overcomes these difficulties.
