Card issuers continue to find themselves victims of ongoing attacks perpetrated by fraudsters looking to rapidly exploit any opening they can find in e-commerce transactions. Fraudsters often exploit cards from multiple issuers, which is why they are transitioning to a model that uses real-time device information from...
The malicious use of encryption is growing at an alarming rate according to NSS Labs' BaitNET test infrastructure. Why? Encrypted web communication routinely bypasses enterprise security controls. Left unscanned, these channels are perfect vehicles for hiding infection, command & control and data exfiltration....
Too often card-issuing banks suffer significant losses from fraudsters stealing credit card credentials. Typically, these fraudsters use multiple cards from various issuers to complete purchases from a single device before the stolen cards can be blocked. The goal for banks is to immediately identify and stop these...
It difficult to decide whether to replace or to augment existing endpoint protection (EPP) because it is difficult to assess advanced endpoint protection (AEP) products as measuring some of their features can be complicated.
AEP products are promising a new standard in endpoint security, but when should...
Ransomware is a rapidly evolving challenge for organizations of all sizes. Despite expert protection technologies and staff, attackers are consistently changing techniques and developing bolder strategies that creep through vulnerabilities. Although the majority of ransomware attacks are spread by email through...
As the GDPR enforcement date edges closer, organizations remain unprepared to comply, says BitSight's Elizabeth Fischer - especially when it comes to vendor risk management. What - beyond contracts - do organizations need?
It can be incredibly disruptive and time-consuming to add new security technologies to your network. However, it is vital to continue to advance your organization's ability to detect and respond to advanced malware - especially malware that evades other "advanced" security tools like sandboxes and...
Security is consistently growing more important, and many IT teams are recognizing it as both a priority and a challenge. In addition, IT teams are under increasing pressure to protect the business from emerging new threats. For organizations that are embracing cloud and virtualized environments, three common-sense...
Many security leaders argue over whether their incident response posture needs to be proactive or reactive. But Rsam CISO Bryan Timmerman says it isn't either or - that organizations need both. Here's why.
"If you've got an incident response program that's been around for years, then it's probably based on...
Traditionally in cybersecurity, technology is the central focus. Adversaries act; security controls respond. But Richard Ford of Forcepoint says it is time to change the dynamic with a shift to human-centered security.
The traditional, tech-centric approach cedes too much control to the attackers, says Ford, Chief...
As digitalization drives the need for speed in IT resource delivery, organizations that still practice traditional provisioning of network and security services will keep falling behind their competitors. For IT to fully automate the delivery of secure, scalable, and high-performing multi-tier applications,...
Sixty-five percent of security leaders consider their organizations' security postures to be above average or superior, as compared to peers in their sectors.
Yet, only 29 percent say that they are very confident in the effectiveness of their security controls, and nearly half say that they have gaps in detecting...
Next generation firewalls (NGFWs) are a prime example of how cybersecurity controls continue to evolve. Enterprises need a strong first line of defense to protect their constantly changing attack surface. The number of attack vectors available to attackers is growing for several reasons, including a rise in the number...
Ransomware is a rapidly evolving challenge for organizations of all sizes. Although the vast majority of ransomware attacks are spread by email through malicious links or attachments, devices can also be infected through several other vectors, including "driveby" downloads whereby a vulnerable victim system is...
