It's frightening what criminals can buy on the dark web. But it's even scarier that they may be buying your own security certificates to use against you. Venafi recently sponsored a six-month investigation into the sale of digital code signing certificates on the dark web. Conducted with the Cyber Security Research...
Our increased dependence on machines is so profound that even the definition of machine is undergoing radical change. The number and type of physical devices on enterprise networks has been rising rapidly, but this is outstripped by the number of applications and services they host.
At the same time, cloud adoption...
Identity and Access Management (IAM) programs are becoming increasingly essential to securing critical systems and data; last year, companies spent $7 billion on IAM, most on protecting user credentials, but almost nothing protecting keys and certificates, the credentials that identify and authorize machine-to-machine...
As certificate counts within the average organization rise to tens of thousands, it has become exponentially harder to manage them effectively.

SSH is used for secure administrative access, but what happens if it's not secure? Despite the sweeping access SSH keys grant, including root access, most are not as tightly controlled as their level of privilege requires.
If your organization doesn't know which administrators or SSH keys have access to which...
Clearly, adherence to HIPAA, NIST and other regulators in healthcare is paramount, but that does not mean that your organization isn't vulnerable to cybercrime hacking. When the average breach is worth $3.62 million with $380 per patient record compromised (as per Ponemon's 2017 Cost of
a Data Breach Report), the...
During the past year alone, we've witnessed a number of devastating cyber attacks, from the massive Equifax breach to the seemingly never-ending Yahoo! breach.
The 2nd annual Inside the Mind of a Hacker report was created to shed light on the makeup of the bug hunting community and gain insight and understanding into...
In May 2017, the Singapore Government cut direct access to the Internet from its internal systems. This is a policy that is already adopted by Korean banks, many U.S. and U.K. military establishments, as well as the Japanese government. This is to protect government-owned computer systems from potential cyber threats...
In a world where cyber threats have become the norm, organizations must equip themselves with solutions that prevent and isolate attacks. Today, many organizations are mandating Internet separation as a means of controlling these threats. While physical Internet separation or air gap networks is one possible approach,...
In today's shape-shifting threat landscape, every organization needs the same thing: Real-time, actionable threat intelligence. And there is no shortage of intelligence feeds from reputable third-party sources. But are there too many intelligence feeds for systems and analysts to process? How effectively is actionable...
CISOs have plenty to keep them up at night. With data breaches, ransomware incidents and system compromises, security leaders are forced to find ways to beat threats without slowing their pace of business. If they fail to effectively manage those risks, their organizations can face huge consequences.
While process...
What was perhaps the largest-ever botnet composed of infected Android devices has been disabled. The Wirex botnet cleverly used legitimate looking traffic for DDoS attacks against web services.
