The first step in managing risk is recognizing it as a boardroom matter, and it demands that directors be prepared to understand and discuss the cyber issue and strategically guide C-level executives on this complex topic. It requires cyber competence in the boardroom, said CISO Marco Túlio Moraes.
Ransomware hackers are stretching the concept of code reuse to the limit as they confront the specter of diminishing returns for extortionate malware. In their haste to make money, some new players are picking over the discarded remnants of previous ransomware groups.
