Here is a short report on the history of IoT Botnets.

This is a study into organisations’ attitudes towards the cyber threat, the management control processes they have in place, and their understanding and use of cyber insurance as a means of risk transfer.

This white paper presents some interesting information related to the cybersecurity issues that can occur in the healthcare sector.

This report seeks to answer the following questions, In 2030, will the Internet and related information and communications technologies (ICT) continue to drive global innovation and prosperity? Or, will that bright promise be swamped by an unstable and insecure Internet, so overwhelmed by non-stop attacks that it has become an increasing drag on economic growth?

The executive summary of this paper gives four points of discussion: a) Interest in cyber insurance has grown beyond expectations b) Cyber attacks and breaches have grown in frequency, and loss costs are on the rise c) Insurers are issuing an increasing number of cyber insurance policies and becoming more skilled and experienced at underwriting and pricing this rapidly evolving risk d) Some observers believe that cyber exposure is greater than the insurance industry’s ability to adequately underwrite the risk.

In this paper they discuss several aspects of the healthcare threat surface.

This Paper provides a breakdown of New York’s 23 NYCRR500 Financial Security requirements.

From the report, “Although real damages can be very different from our average estimation, in this report we’ve made a unique attempt to connect potential risks and real consequences of a security breach, defined in dollars, not gigabytes of data and hours of downtime.”

The goal of this research was to produce a transparent methodology for estimating present and future global costs of cyber risk, acknowledging the considerable uncertainty in the frequencies and costs of cyber incidents.

This is a brief introduction to Mobile Cyber Security

The series will show you how to take practical steps to aid your organization in meeting GDPR requirements for protecting personal data.

Data protection in the form of backup and recovery remains one of the key tools in a company’s disaster recovery/business continuity toolbox. However, the increasing adoption of cloud-based IT options has also added a new set of challenges for managing and protecting business processes that can extend beyond the datacenter. There’s an increasing need for contingency plans that address the potential loss of mission-critical services, as well as the applications and data itself.

From the paper, “This paper aims, in the first place, to put a concrete proposal on the table. It is not a panacea; it is a plausible way forward. We will start by explaining our proposal in detail and the problems we believe it would solve. We then discuss the proposal’s strategic rationale at a higher level, how it compares to various past and current practices, and why concerns about the dangers are considerably exaggerated. We conclude by considering the specific legal changes the proposal would require.”

This whitepaper will explore HIPAA requirements and how comprehensive network security automation and orchestration will control endpoints, provide total visibility of all network access devices and automate threat response to help ensure compliance.
