From the report, “We live in incredible times, where we trust more of our lives to machines that are becoming ever more powerful. We cannot leave the doors to our “digital kingdoms” wide open. Adversaries, both nation-states and for-profit malicious actors, have access to a seemingly unlimited supply of “all access keys”. Our responsibility is to revoke and disable these keys or to at least make that access as difficult as possible through thoughtful defense-in-depth security controls. These controls should not just rely solely on the “next gen” version of a well-known technology. Truly different types of protection and detection technologies need to be layered in order to create the strongest possible defense.” Read on to find out more.

From the report, “An OS-Centric Positive Security isn’t a silver bullet, but it can be a tremendously valuable and complementary defense mechanism—your second or last line of defense. The majority of endpoint security solutions deployed today are based on the Negative Security model; so, it’s time to add a Positive Security solution to strengthen your endpoint protection.” Read on to find out more.

This report takes an inside look at the Cyber Security challenge for healthcare today and more specifically looks at the medical device security challenge.

The findings from this study provide strong evidence that organizations are benefitting from their privacy investments beyond compliance. Organizations that are ready for GDPR are experiencing shorter delays in their sales cycle related to customers’ data privacy concerns than those that are not ready for GDPR. GDPR-ready organizations have also experienced fewer data breaches, and when breaches have occurred, fewer records were impacted, and system downtime was shorter. As a result, the total cost of data breaches was less than what organizations not ready for GDPR experienced.

From the report, “For security teams, the sheer depth and breadth of what they need to defend may seem daunting, but thinking about the Internet from an attacker’s perspective —a collection of digital assets that are discoverable by hackers as they research their next campaigns— can put the massive scope of their organization’s attack surface into perspective. In this report, we’ll highlight five areas that we feel help to better frame the challenges faced in keeping the Internet a safe environment, all of which underline a need to broaden awareness of the potential risks involved to foster a more informed approach to cyber defense.”

From the report, “During the last few months, global corporations have been extremely busy with implementing the needed changes in order to be compliant with the upcoming GDPR regulation. While this happens, cyber-threat actors are preparing themselves for the possible consequences, without a clear picture of whether GDPR will hurt them or benefit them. According to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) any company that handles European Union consumer personal data is obligated to take tangible steps to ensure the information’s security. This means the EU sees any organization that uses EU citizens’ data of any kind, responsible to protect it, whether the organization is headquartered inside EU territory or not. It will, of course, affect the way global corporations handle consumer data encryption, but in even more basic terms, it will affect what kind of information is permitted to be stored and passed along to other users.”
