Security Money & BlackHat Interviews – BSW #317
The Security Weekly 25 Index is still trying to recover. Inflation fears have tampered the recovery and the NASDAQ is outperforming the Index. Fastly replaces Sumo Logic in the Index and Thoma Bravo has not acquired anyone, so hoping the index stays stable for more than a quarter :). Here's the latest list of companies in the index:
Secureworks Corp Palo Alto Networks Inc Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. Splunk Inc Gen Digital Inc Fortinet Inc Akamai Technologies, Inc. F5 Inc Zscaler Inc Onespan Inc Leidos Holdings Inc Qualys Inc Verint Systems Inc. Cyberark Software Ltd Tenable Holdings Inc Darktrace PLC SentinelOne Inc Cloudflare Inc Crowdstrike Holdings Inc NetScout Systems, Inc. Varonis Systems Inc Rapid7 Inc Fastly Inc Radware Ltd A10 Networks Inc
Ransomware-as-a-Service has contributed to a steady rise in sophisticated ransomware attacks. Ransomware authors are increasingly staying under the radar by launching encryption-less attacks which involve large volumes of data exfiltration. Organizations must move away from using legacy point products and instead migrate to a fully integrated zero trust platform that minimizes their attack surface, prevents compromise, reduces the blast radius in the event of a successful attack, and prevents data exfiltration.
