This report offers insight into both Cybercrime and Cybersecurity. It discusses IoT botnets and DDoS, Rising Ransomware, File-less Attacks, and on the security side, it discusses Talent 7 Budget Shortage, Government opinions, Pervasive Threat Intelligence and Market Consolidation.

This report seeks to review the dramatic changes that took place in the banking industry in 2018, and lay out a strategy for those institutions in 2019.

Recently, cybercriminals have managed to redirect web-based crypto-wallet DNS queries to a malicious mirror website. By doing so, they were able to steal $17m in Ethereum. The hackers pulled off a BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) hijacking attack on the website’s DNS service host, causing it to receive a false IP address and direct users to a phishing website. As a result, the users became victims of the attack, losing their stored wallet’s crypto-currency.

This report is based on a global IDC Web-based survey of 1,200 executives with responsibility for or influence over IT and data security. Respondents were from nine countries: Australia, Germany, India, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the UK, and the U.S., and represented a range of industries, with a primary emphasis on healthcare, financial services, retail, and federal government organizations. Job titles ranged from C-level executives including CEO, CFO, Chief Data Officer, CISO, Chief Data Scientist, and Chief Risk Officer, to SVP/VP, IT Administrator, Security Analyst, Security Engineer, and Systems Administrator. Respondents represented a broad range of organizational sizes, with the majority ranging from 500 to 10,000 employees

This report offers the following taglines - IoT device breaches undetectable by nearly half of companies, and use of blockchain technology to help secure IoT data, devices and services doubles in a year.

This Infographic offers a brief presentation of the data presented in the Gemalto 2018 State of IOT Security.

From the report, “Without trust, the future of our digital economy and its nearly limitless potential is in peril. Piecemeal efforts to address cybersecurity issues—including the Internet’s inherent flaws, vulnerabilities from the Internet of Things (IoT), identity and data veracity and increasing digital fragmentation—have fallen short. Through their decisions above ground on industry-wide governance and their business architecture and technology infrastructure below ground, however, CEOs can have the influence necessary to collaboratively address these overarching issues.”

Domain names are normatively registered for one or more years, and faithfully renewed thereafter. Domains slated for abusive uses, however, are effectively disposable: they are registered, quickly abused for cybercrime, and abandoned. In this study, we monitor an ongoing data feed of newly observed domains (NOD) to generate a cohort data set, and periodically probe those names to determine what fraction of new domains get suspended by their registrar, deleted by the DNS provider, or effectively ‘killed’ by several well-known blocklists. We then analyse how quickly this happens, the most likely cause of domain ‘death’, and how this may vary depending on the TLD involved. The study provides the first systematic study of domain lifetimes, unravelling their complexities and showing the impact of blocklists on the new gTLDs. The results can be used to deploy more secure DNS policy rules in a computer network.

In this new research report, Farsight Security set out to determine the prevalence and distribution of IDN homographs across the Internet. We examined 100M IDN resolutions over a 12-month period with a focus on over 450 top global brands across 11 sectors including finance, retail, and technology.

Ponemon Institute is pleased to present the findings of Assessing the DNS Security Risk, sponsored by Infoblox. The purpose of this study is to understand the ability of organizations to assess and mitigate DNS risks. As part of the research, an online index has been created to provide a global measure of organizations’ exposure to DNS security risks and assist them in their response to DNS security risks.

The “Impact of Cloud on ERP” survey report was designed to assess the impact of ERP solutions on organizations and better understand cloud preparation and data migration needs to implement ERP solutions in the cloud. Features and benefits gained, security and privacy challenges, and time to deploy for an ERP Solution in a cloud environment were explored.

The purpose of this white paper is to introduce managed security services as a key strategy for evolving your business.

This paper provides a helpful checklist for NIST adoption.

In mid-2018, VansonBourne conducted research on behalf of Nutanix to gain insight into enterprise plans for adopting private, hybrid, and public clouds. The respondent base spanned multiple industries, business sizes, and geographies, which included the Americas; Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA); and AsiaPacific (APJ) regions.

After analyzing the activities of cyber threat actors this year, the DomainTools Research Team has identified four key cybersecurity concerns that security teams, executives, consumers and government officials can expect to encounter next year. From hacked drones with the potential to cause physical harm, to advancing activity from North Korea and Hidden Cobra, this paper connects the dots between the past, present and future to help organizations get ready for the security challenges of 2018.

This paper offers insight into QR code usage and user interest and suggests that organizations should take time to consider and familiarize themselves with the potential security ramifications.
