From the report, “This report compares the budgets of global security decision makers at firms spending up to 10%, 11% to 20%, and 21% to 30% of their IT budget on information security. Security leaders can use these budget ranges as a starting point to evaluate their own programs, then compare their product, service, staffing, and other allocations with those of similar firms.” Read on to find out more.

From the report, “What does 2018 hold in store for the defenders? Unfortunately, more of the same security drama, according to Cybereason’s researchers and analysts. Specifically, they identified the following as some of the bigger security trends in the new year: 01. Supply Chain Attacks Increase & Remain Underreported 02. Destructive Attacks Do Not Let Up 03. The Line Blurs Between APT Actors & Cybercriminals 04. Fileless Malware Attacks Become Ubiquitous” Read on to find out more.

This White Paper attempts to paint a comprehensive picture of the file-borne threat crisis facing health insurance companies due to the tight connection with medical institutions and the immense number of files shared and transferred between the two sectors, as well as explain why current security systems and industry regulations fail to adequately meet this sophisticated threat, and what measures can be taken to guard against it without investing in security infrastructure.

This report offers insight into Cyber Breaches and the health industry for 2016. It provides information on the important trends of 2016, medical device hijacks and the top ten health care cyber attacks of 2016.

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.

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.

This report offers a variety of case studies that highlight the challenges in the Healthcare Network.

This report takes a look at the dangers of weaponized malware and provides a case study of Zombie Zero behavior.

CISOs Investigate: User Behavior Analytics (UBA) includes interviews with 11 security leaders who have deployed or are looking to deploy third-party solutions. This report replaces the ad hoc, often informal and time-consuming processes of personally gathering peer insight. Spanning verticals, the CISO contributors share real-world use cases and provide guidance.

From this one page report, “Healthcare organizations possess some of the most valuable information exchanged on the black market, including social security numbers, patient records, financial information and intellectual property. To help you understand the common attack types and trends facing the healthcare industry, we’ve compiled the following observations based on real data from across our client base.”

Insider threats, such as those associated with the Marriott breach, are considered one of the top concerns in IT security due to the devastating impact on business, reputation, loss of sensitive data, and significant fines. Security solutions that rely on allow lists / block lists and signature files fall far short in their attempt to mitigate this threat. Machine learning and behavioral analysis are uniquely suited to immediately identifying anomalies that indicate an insider threat before any data is lost.

From the report, “The large-scale attacks and disastrous outcomes in this paper underscore the fact that targeted phishing is the overwhelming cause of nearly all breaches. Phishing attacks cost companies an incalculable amount of money, prestige, goodwill, confidential data, and competitive advantage, as well as brand identity and integrity. The Verizon Data Breach Investigations report supports the overwhelming impact of phishing, which targets businesses consistently across email, web, and network traffic. Siloed approaches lead only to siloed and ineffective protection. Partial, reactive defenses such as employee education, perimeter protection, and spam filtering simply don’t work against today’s phishing threats.”

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.”

This report takes a look at the healthcare industry and seeks to provide insight into the cyber security issues that remain in that industry.

The purpose of this study is to understand the beliefs and behaviors surrounding password management and authentication practices for individuals both in the workplace and at home. The goal was to understand if these beliefs and behaviors align, and why or why not. The conclusion is that despite the increasing concern regarding privacy and protection online and a greater understanding of the best security practices, individuals and businesses are still falling short.

This Impact Report provides insights into consumers’ views on authentication. Consumers often don’t understand the mechanics of technologies very well, or even why they’re being used, but they have definite preferences about how and when they want to engage in authentication activities.
