We talk a lot about finding ways to defend our networks from attacks. One of the most effective defenses against cyberattacks is the same used against physical attacks: Don’t be there.
There are many places to find backward-looking statistics of how many attacks were launched in cyberspace. Forward-looking guidance areas that security managers should focus on are harder to find. In times of economic uncertainty, it is even more critical for security teams to prioritize resources to increase effectiveness and efficiency in dealing with known threats while also minimizing the risk from emerging attacks.
The problem today is that there are too many tools, too little integration among them, and more noise than a team can analyze and understand – all of which add up to less visibility into threats and less efficient security teams. Automation is supposed to solve the “tool fatigue” problem, surfacing the most critical issues by running playbooks against common threats and freeing up valuable resources for other tasks. However, expectations for automation have outpaced its capabilities to drastically reduce human intervention in security monitoring.
Aqua's security research team, Nautilus, analyzed 16,371 attacks on container and cloud native infrastructure which occurred over a period of 1 year, between June 2019 and July 2020. This research aims to present the entire kill-chain of attacks against cloud native environments. Based on the attacks against our honeypots, this research publication provides a cohesive analysis. By examining the trends and behaviors identified in the past attacks, we are able to predict how this threat landscape will continue to morph, arming you with knowledge and tools to protect your environment.
For security and SOC teams, network monitoring is not enough to protect today's sophisticated OT environment. You need to access the details that provide in-depth visibility into the industrial control system environment
Security leaders need to understand vulnerabilities in context and use that data to prioritize their team’s efforts. But, there’s a problem: The number of vulnerabilities has nearly tripled in the last couple of years, creating too much data for teams to process on their own.
With less budget, fewer resources, and more employees working from home than ever, it’s time to look for a better way to enhance your digital security. In this ebook we’ll look at the challenges facing today’s security professionals and share some simple actions you can take to reduce malware, simplify security and secure a growing population of remote and roaming workers, without overburdening your staff.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused a sea change in how businesses operate. What had been a 90%/10% office to work-from-home employment model was flipped on its head early in 2020, causing companies to scramble to put in place a new business continuity model.
Never before has it been so critical for security teams to effectively secure the infrastructure for an increasingly remote workforce while they themselves may have limited physical access to on-premises resources.
The widespread and rippling effects of COVID-19 have impacted organizations worldwide. As we plan for getting back to business, we know that business is going to look different. From the perspective of the security operations center (SOC), we are entering largely uncharted territories that come with an outsize burden on security teams. Challenges come from the new borderless network with its inherent risks, increased employee burnout coupled with the ever-present staff shortages, and an uncertain economic outlook forcing teams to “do more with less.”
The Covid-19 crisis has forced businesses of all sizes around the world to change operations in a variety of unprecedented ways. To navigate and halt the spread of the pandemic, organizations have adopted strict remote work policies where employees have to maintain work and productivity from the confines of their home. While this poses a variety of critical social and personal challenges, the shift has also posed significant challenges to maintaining business operations.
This market guide details the features and capabilities of the next generation of simulation-based cybersecurity training solutions. The guide covers how companies are using simulation-based training to elevate cyber skills, fill staffing gaps, and cost-effectively improve their security teams’ ability to remediate cyberattacks. It also includes a buyer’s checklist appendix.
