One of the most dangerous myths about malware is that hackers aren't targeting smaller healthcare entities, says security researcher Lysa Myers, who offers mitigation insights for clinics and others.
Despite the frequency of healthcare data breaches, only half of U.S. hospitals have the infrastructure to support two-factor authentication, according to a new report. Plus, some information security leaders say implementation of the technology at many of those facilities is likely relatively narrow.
Has authentication become too complex for
banking institutions? That's a legitimate concern, says Peter Tapling of Early Warning.
The key, he says, is to leverage new strategies and solutions to unify and simplify
authentication.

Today's cybercriminals are aware of the fraud prevention technologies deployed by most financial institutions, and they design attacks to circumvent these controls. Transaction anomaly detection and device ID approaches can be highly inaccurate, generating a large number of false positive alerts that can overwhelm IT...
Dell's announcement that it plans to purchase storage maker EMC for a mind-boggling $67 billion does not make clear the fate of EMC's information security unit, RSA. Analysts believe Dell has not yet determined whether RSA fits into its long-term plans or should be sold or spun off.
Has authentication become too complex for banking institutions? That's a legitimate concern, says Peter Tapling of Early Warning. He offers strategies to simplify and unify authentication strategies.
Defeating biometrics-based security with far-fetched schemes, such as stealing or replacing eyeballs and fingertips, is a recurring theme in the movies. But real-world advances in authentication will help make it difficult to circumvent real-world security.
The severity of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management breach continues to grow, with investigators now reporting that hackers stolen 5.6 million people's fingerprint data. The theft may have security implications well into the future.
For years, information security experts have been warning users to create complex, unique passwords, and organizations to secure them properly. But an analysis of 12 million cracked Ashley Madison passwords shows how much we're still failing.
Year after year, cyber threats continue to increase in both sophistication and
frequency. Many of the attacks involve compromised user names and passwords.
In an environment where identity theft, data breaches
and fraud are increasing, as anywhere, anytime access for
employees, partners and customers is also...
The U.S. payments infrastructure will come up far short of completing the rollout of EMV technology by the Oct. 1 fraud liability shift date. Experts say high costs, a perceived lack of consumer demand and doubts about EMV's ability to significantly reduce card fraud are to blame.
The FBI estimates fraud losses linked to so-called business email compromise scams worldwide have exceeded $1.2 billion in less than a year. But some financial fraud experts say the losses from this largely overlooked threat could be even higher.
Money alone won't solve cybersecurity challenges that government agencies - or, for that matter, any organization - face. But pumping up the security budget can't hurt, either.
The Internal Revenue Service says cyber thieves may have accessed as many as 334,000 taxpayer accounts in a breach of its Get Transcript system, far more than the 114,000 accounts it originally estimated in May.
As the Department of Defense embarks on a multi-billion dollar project to overhaul its EHR system, supporting millions of military personnel, there are critical privacy and security challenges to be tackled.
