Cyber adversaries are embracing defense evasion, triple extortion, wiper malware and the accelerated exploit chain, and that is significantly reshaping the threat landscape that CISOs have to deal with, according to Derek Manky, head of Fortinet's FortiGuard Labs.
In today's dynamic environment, with the proliferation of a wide array of different security products and the high chance for misconfigurations, testing security is more imperative than ever, says Scott Register, vice president of security solutions at Keysight.
While adversaries are often still using many of the same old methods and exploits to compromise their victims, the exposure and consequences of these attacks are becoming increasingly damaging, says Bryan Ware, CEO of LookingGlass Cyber Solutions. He discusses how to keep ahead of the adversaries.
What are the top five security activities that lead to the best outcomes, and why do they work so well? Those critical issues were closely examined in a recent study commissioned by Duo Security/Cisco, says Helen Patton, advisory CISO, who discusses the findings.
A great deal of awareness training has been offered to users - including phishing simulations - but none of it seems to have led to a significant change in their poor security behaviors and decision-making skills, says Oz Alashe, CEO of CybSafe.
The Cuba ransomware group, which has previously targeted U.S. critical infrastructure firms, has updated its malware to "optimize" execution and "minimize" unintended system behavior, says Trend Micro. Researchers at Elastic Security Labs also share malware analysis, TTPs and detection techniques.
Trying to respond manually to threats solely as a cyber team that does not have control over the entire IT ecosystem can severely slow down response times, says Wesley Mullins, CTO of Deepwatch. He explains why and discusses response issues and the hesitancy to adopt automated security solutions.
Companies need better visibility into their ever-changing distributed environments "like never before," says Mike Kiser, director of strategy and standards at SailPoint. He discusses cloud governance, digital transformation and identities, and the importance of transparency in automation.
One of the most important recent developments by CISA has been the creation of the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative, which is focused on operational private-public collaboration, says Kiersten Todt, CISA chief of staff.
Software bills of material, or SBOMs, are still "years away" from being ubiquitous, says Grant Schneider, senior director for cybersecurity services at Venable. He says it will take time for them to catch on, and a set of standards and other critical components for industry need to be defined.
With rising threats facing critical infrastructure sectors, such as healthcare and financial services, "society as a whole, and the safety of society, is completely dependent on cyber risk" - and being security resilient, says Jeetu Patel of Cisco.
The role was vastly different 10 years ago, and it will morph yet again 10 years from now. This makes the CISO's job the most challenging in the cybersecurity sector, says John Horn, cybersecurity practice director at Aite-Novarica Group. He shares highlights of recent research.
In the ever-shifting cybersecurity threat landscape, IT risks have never been more prominent. But what about operational technology? Lesley Carhart of Dragos discusses OT vulnerabilities, how adversaries are taking advantage and why Dragos has launched a new OT CERT.
In an organization, people are the ones who develop and sustain organizational strategy. Talented people are discovering that it's possible to leave a toxic environment so they can breathe and thrive. Marco Túlio Moraes explores how to retain both talent and strategy.
Effective cyber risk management of vendors is critical to the success of organizations that are increasingly relying on these third parties, says Dave Stapleton, CISO of CyberGRX, who describes the importance of using a "true" third-party risk exchange.
