Cybercriminals never stop innovating. Their increased use of automated and scripted attacks that increase speed and scale makes them more sophisticated and dangerous than ever. And because of the volume, velocity and sophistication of today’s global threat landscape, enterprises must respond in real-time and at machine speeds to effectively counter these aggressive attacks. Machine learning…
By correlating threat telemetry across multiple attack surfaces, XDR – Extended Detection and Response – promises to address today’s harsh threat landscape by amplifying the scale, speed, and scope in which security pros can detect and remediate attacks. We call it the X-Factor. Now, XDR automates manually intensive big data investigations, which will help security…
Across the globe there’s a lot of faith – and development resources – put into using smartphone apps as the primary way to track and stem the spread of COVID-19 so economies can reopen. This seems misguided at best and disingenuous at worst, an exaggeration by those for whom every nail requires a technological hammer.…
The COVID-19 pandemic has become a wake-up call for companies to sharpen their business continuity plans.

Many cybercriminals secure their most lucrative payouts by sticking to classic forms of attack, with a bit of a new twist. As ransomware has evolved and become more disruptive, it’s keeping security pros on their toes and compelling adjustments to their defense postures. Today, newer ransomware programs such as Zeppelin and REvil/Sodinokibi, and others…
As millions of employees across the world work from home because of the COVID-19 pandemic, IoT security has become more critical than ever as cybercriminals look to exploit the situation. Over the past few years, many organizations already have put security controls and measures in place that ensure only authorized users can access and configure…
Wi-Fi networks, whether in public or private, are by their very nature dirty. Security professionals warn that every network carries inherent risk to our devices, data and resources, because they are exposed a myriad of attacks, including these “Dirty Half Dozen” Wi-Fi risks: eavesdropping; exploits; evil-twin Wi-Fi; lateral network infections; DNS hijacking; and scanning, enumerating…
When humans discovered and learned to ‘obey’ the laws of physics and chemistry, we began to thrive in our world. It enabled us to make fire, build machines much stronger than ourselves, to cure diseases, to fly. What will it take for us to thrive in the world of cyberspace? What are its laws –…
