While cloud adoption opens up opportunities for enterprises for better operational efficiency, cost-effectiveness, ease of use and scale with agility, it also increases vulnerabilities. Collaboration with hyperscalers is now an important part of most enterprise cloud journeys. However, with the growing migration of...
Last year, the business community was forced to adapt to a new era of distributed work—and cyber threats have adapted right along with them. Between unsecured home WiFi networks and the rise in personal devices accessing company resources, the opportunities for data theft have risen as teams have...
Because a relatively small number of individuals provide the vast majority of services and infrastructure that power cybercrime, they remain top targets for arrest - or at least disruption - by law enforcement authorities, says cybercrime expert Alan Woodward. But of course, geopolitics sometimes gets in the way.
Phishing, ransomware and unauthorized access remain the leading causes of personal data breaches as well as violations of data protection rules, Britain's privacy watchdog reports. The U.K. government has also been caught out by breaches and leaks involving military secrets and CCTV footage from a government building.
Amid a surge in new international data privacy laws and regulations, it is becoming increasingly challenging for organizations to stay compliant. The first step: data classification. In this webinar, a panel of experts will explain how integrating data classification with necessary data protection tools such as DLP,...

Nearly three weeks ago, Iran's state railway company was hit with a cyberattack that was disruptive and - somewhat unusually - also playful. Security firm SentinelOne says analyzing the wiper malware involved offers tantalizing clues about the attackers' skills, but no clear attribution.
Security experts offer an analysis of Gartner's new strategic road map for SASE adoption that emphasizes the need for a detailed migration plan and offer tips for a successful rollout.
Ransomware-wielding criminals continue to find innovative new ways to extort victims, develop technically and sidestep skills shortages by delivering ransomware as a service, said Robert Hannigan, the former head of U.K. intelligence agency GCHQ, in his Infosecurity Europe 2021 virtual keynote speech.
As organizations prepare a plan for migrating to the Secure Access Service Edge, or SASE, model, they need to carefully assess the need for reorganization of the networking and security departments, says Nat Smith, senior director, security analyst at Gartner, which coined the SASE term.

Australian spies should be allowed to take offensive action against some of the world's most prominent ransomware gangs, says Tim Watts, a member of Australia's Parliament who says the move, proposed under the Labor Party's push for a national ransomware strategy, would deter attackers.
As the world continues to endure ongoing global disruption, cyber-attackers have been updating their tactics in light of emerging trends.

In practice, the zero trust model is typically implemented in
the form of security policies, whether via microsegmentation,
Web Gateways, or least-privilege access control. In this
connection, it is often associated with the Secure Access
Service Edge (SASE), SD-WAN, and other security and
networking services...
Cyber-criminals are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to scale up their attacks and evade detection — and over 97% of industry professionals are concerned.
This report explores key findings from a recent survey conducted by MIT Technology Review, assessing critical developments in the cyber-threat landscape,...
