Research shows that 51% of data breaches include the usage of malware, whether for initial breach, expansion within the network or heisting data. Yet despite malware being a pivotal attack vector, companies are unable to defend against data-theft malware running wild in their network. In fact, some of the biggest and...
With healthcare-based ransomware attacks happening every day, cybersecurity focused on machine learning can identify potential vulnerabilities and prevent attacks before malicious actors find them. Intelligent algorithms flag out-of-the-ordinary activity and send alerts for timely interventions.
This whitepaper is...
What kinds of health data breaches have been most common so far in 2018? An analysis of the official HHS breach tally reveals the latest trends, and security experts offer an analysis.
The workplace is transforming, and keeping up with evolving security threats has become more critical and challenging than ever. Malware
attacks come from all directions with an overwhelming majority of successful breaches beginning at the endpoint. This means that having a
comprehensive endpoint management solution...
It may seem silly to wonder how safe your backups are; backups are rarely
thought of as being at risk. It stems back to a time when backups were on
tape - a medium that would be tough for even skilled developers to hack. But
today's backups are stored (whether on-premises or in the cloud) on disk or,

Those of you who are CISOs and have been conducting awareness programs for years realize that ''the devil is in the details" when building a successful program. Initial attempts to get an awareness program started are usually done by trial and error- but this hit-and-miss approach is often ineffective or frustrating....
One mystery with the recently discovered payment card sniffing attacks against such organizations as British Airways and Newegg has been how attackers might have first gained access to the victims' networks. But a number of cybercrime markets sell such access, in some cases for as little as 50 cents.
Scotland's Arran Brewery fell victim to a Dharma Bip ransomware attack that infected its Windows domain controller and crypto-locked files and local backups, leading to the loss of three months' worth of sales data. The brewery refused to pay the attackers' two bitcoin ransom demand.
A Shift Toward a Human-Centric Approach to Information Security
Every IT security department's job, to protect data, has become more challenging as the security perimeter has dissolved with the adoption of cloud applications. The traditional threat-centric approach is to apply rigid policies to a dynamic...
The European Union's (EU's) General Protection Regulation (GDPR), which began enforcement on May 25, 2018, dramatically increases the penalties for failing to properly protect users' personal . The maximum fines that can be leveraged against an organization eclipse penalties that have been imposed in the past; they...
Phishing remains the top attack vector, and an organization's people of course remain the top target. But how can these same people be leveraged as a key component in your anti-phishing defense? "Security professionals have to abandon any notion that phishing is solely a technology challenge", says Kurt Wescoe, Chief...
Coupled with HIPAA and other regulatory requirements that make securing protected health (PHI) paramount, healthcare organizations have no shortage of serious considerations that must be adequately addressed to ensure patient and safety.
To find out what considerations are weighing heaviest on the minds of...
Yesterday's threat detection is not working. Companies must reshape their cybersecurity programs, knowing that attackers are always looking for a way in - or may have already penetrated.
There are numerous ways healthcare organizations can benefit from a deception approach as new cyber vulnerabilities and risks in...
The Annual Vulnerability Review analyzes the evolution of software security from a vulnerability perspective. Secunia Research at Flexera monitors more thousands of applications to provide the most recent data on the prevalence of vulnerabilities.
