Most blogs or papers about crypto-ransomware typically focus on the threat’s delivery, encryption algorithms and communication, with associated indicators of compromise (IOCs). This research paper takes a different approach: an analysis of the file system activity or behaviors of prominent crypto-ransomware families (hereafter, simply called ransomware).

This is quarterly publication from Fortinet that looks in the current cyber security threats from April 1 to July 1.

This paper uses a unique and MARVEL-ous approach to provide insight into maintaining a robust cybersecurity posture in today’s fast-paced world.

The 2019 Malware Report was produced by Cybersecurity Insiders and HelpSystems to reveal the latest malware security trends, challenges, and investment priorities.

This report provides insights culled from a year of security data analysis and hands-on lessons learned. Data analyzed includes the 6.5 trillion threat signals that go through the Microsoft cloud every day and the research and realworld experiences from our thousands of security researchers and responders around the world. In 2018, attackers used a variety of dirty tricks, both new (coin mining) and old (phishing), in their ongoing quest to steal data and resources from customers and organizations. Hybrid attacks, like the Ursnif campaign, blended social and technical approaches. As defenders got smarter against ransomware, a loud and disruptive form of attack, criminals pivoted to the more “stealth”, but still profitable, coin-miners.

This paper, published in partnership with the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity, highlights research indicating that “underserved” residents in San Francisco, California— including low-income residents, seniors, and foreign language speakers—face higher-than average risks of being victims of cyber attacks. They are less likely to know whether they have even been victimized by a cyber attack, and they have lower awareness of cybersecurity risks. Partly as a result, they are less likely to access online services. This cybersecurity gap is a new “digital divide” that needs to be addressed—with urgency—by the public and private sectors alike.

Security and privacy risks are on the rise with the proliferation of mobile devices and their increasing use in the enterprise. As mobility grows in the workplace, so do challenges from managing device access to handling the most pressing concerns of mobile security. The 2018 Mobile Security Report focuses on these security challenges and offers fresh insights on the state of securing mobility, the technology choices organizations are making, and their response to the growing security risks associated with enterprise mobility.

This report from F5 offers insights into key data regarding application services in the Americas.

From the report, “To generate this report, Coronet analyzed an enormous set of data comprised of both access and service threats. The data originated from Wi-Fi and cellular networks, devices spanning all operating systems and public network connectivity infrastructure. The data was aggregated and evaluated based on potential damage that could be caused by attackers and existing vulnerabilities in the 55 most populated DMAs, which together account for almost 70 percent of the entire U.S. population. The ranked results have been aggregated into regions which closely resemble Nielsen DMAs. Coronet ranked each city that was analyzed from most insecure to least vulnerable, with the most insecure cities scoring a 6.5 and above.” Read on to find out more.
