Stop me if you think you've heard this one before: Some ransomware attackers are hiding attack code in virtual machines or creating new leaking sites to pressure victims into paying.
Ransomware gangs keep innovating: Maze has begun leaking data on behalf of both Lockbit and RagnarLocker, while REvil has started auctioning data - from victims who don't meet its ransom demands - to the highest bidder. Thankfully, security experts continue to release free decryptors for some strains.
For over 2000 years, governments, armies, businesses and lovers have been encrypting messages. For the same amount of time, the keys used to perform the encryption have been the weakest link in the chain. After 2000 years, technology has advanced such that the keys can be protected but many companies don't understand...
In today's digital environment, protecting sensitive information and sales transaction data is of critical importance. Technology and advanced loyalty programs are driving the collection of additional data, causing consumers to pay more attention to the types of data they are willing to share with merchants.

Password isn't a four-letter word, but for security leaders it is just as cringe-worthy. Single-factor authentication is putting organizations both large and small at risk of data breaches daily - and two-factor authentication can be just as risky, especially if access codes are delivered via text message. The best...
Encryption is skyrocketing both inside corporate networks and on the public internet - and studies show that more and more attackers are using this trend to hide their activities from your SOC:
70% of malware binaries sampled in the 2018 Annual Cybersecurity Report from Cisco took advantage of encrypted network...
Like many risk-averse organizations, state and local governments are missing out on the benefits of full-scale cloud adoption because they are paralyzed by the complexities associated with trusting their data to a third party. It's no surprise that government agencies have concerns about storing citizen data in the...
Déjà vu basic cybersecurity challenge all over again: With the U.S. government warning that geopolitical tensions could trigger wiper-attack reprisals, security experts review the basic anti-wiper - and anti-ransomware - defenses organizations should already have in place.
In today's environment of distributed IT solutions, hardware security modules (HSMs) - which safeguard a company's encryption keys - are often housed in remote data centers, making HSM management challenging and making it costly to access information about this mission-critical security hardware.

System Administrators are no loner managing boxes sitting under their desks; Now, they're coding their infrastructure. The new digital users, enforced by the as-a-service business model, leave them facing critical challenges to manage and interconnect increasingly diverse systems, and to ensure scalability and...
The latest edition of the ISMG Security Report offers an in-depth look at the ever-changing ransomware threat. Other topics: filling the DevSecOps skills gap and the repercussions of Australia's encryption-busting law.
The 2019 Global Encryption Trends Study surveyed 5,856 individuals across multiple industry
sectors in 14 countries/regions.
The purpose of this research is to examine how the use
of encryption has evolved over the past 14 years and
the impact of this technology on the security posture
of organizations.

The good news for security leaders: Because of SSL/TLS, nearly every bit of web data in transit is now encrypted. The bad news: Threat actors are now masking their attacks inside of encrypted traffic.
