Sophos announced Thursday that its CEO for the past 12 years, Kris Hagerman, has stepped down. Long-time Sophos executive Joe Levy, who has nearly three decades of experience in cybersecurity products and services, is the new president and acting CEO, "effective immediately."
The U.S. federal government says it disrupted a criminal botnet that Russian military intelligence had converted into a platform for global cyberespionage. The malware targets Linux-based IoT devices - in this case, routers made by New York manufacturer Ubiquiti.
A Canadian effort fueled by a surge of car thefts to ban pen-testing devices such as the Flipper Zero that grab wireless signals has provoked a backlash among security researchers and advocates, who accused Ottawa of seeking a scapegoat for bad auto industry security practices.
Venture capital investor Pramod Gosavi discussed the drawbacks of relying on network-centric cybersecurity solutions that are driving up costs. He recommended proactive strategies, such as zero trust, that emphasize minimal access and continuous verification and investments in AI-based technologies.
Breathless reports claim 3 million IoT toothbrushes have been remotely compromised and used to target unsuspecting businesses via distributed denial-of-service attacks. Just one problem: This story has more holes in it than the teeth of kid with a 10-pack-a-day Gummy Bear habit.
The United States ramped up pressure on the commercial surveillance industry shortly before the United Kingdom and France convened a two-day meeting dubbed the Pall Mall Process intended to culminate in an international agreement limiting the proliferation of advanced spyware.
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) can be used to rapidly detect, investigate, and respond to unauthorized and/or suspicious activity; offer assurance that adversaries have not gained access via threat hunting; and recommend actions to improve overall security posture.

Static processes that don’t adapt to rapidly changing trends and environments — such as cloud and remote work — quickly become stale and ineffective. Security analysts are charged with the near-impossible task of triaging a never-ending deluge of security alerts, but they often receive limited training and...
While AI may enhance attacker capabilities, it also continues to empower defenders... potentially even more.
Tune into this session where we will demo and discuss unique cyber threat profiles, and how attacker and threat trends may evolve aided by AI.
Some major takeaways from this discussion will include:

Multiple vulnerabilities in a widely used open-source implementation of the UEFI specification allow attackers to introduce malware operating at the firmware level. The vulnerabilities mainly affect server machines in which a boot server delivers the operating system over the local network.
Modern enterprises must stay proactive to meet customer needs and protect all data, users and apps no matter where they're located. The onslaught of new apps and the explosion of IoT devices make the attack surface challenging to manage.
Traditional branches don't accommodate the type of security architecture...
