With roughly six months to go before the GDPR enforcement deadline, Petter Nordwall and Anthony Merry of Sophos says it's time for organizations to assess whether "They need to panic a little, or they need to panic a lot."
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...
Take control of your SSH keys to minimize your risk of intrusion
SSH keys provide the highest level of access rights and privileges for servers, applications and virtual instances. Cyber criminals want this trusted status and invest considerable resources into acquiring and using SSH keys in their attacks.
Even...
A recently published 2017 survey of over 400 security professionals in the U.S., U.K. and Germany measured how well their organizations implemented security controls for SSH keys. The results show that most organizations are underprepared to protect against SSH-based attacks, with fewer than half following industry...
Modern enterprises are in the midst of a digital revolution, adapting to the demands of Business 2.0. They are looking to embrace new business opportunities, expand into new markets, and propose new product offerings, as well as be more agile in responding to existing demands. This transformation relies on digital...
The malicious use of encryption is growing at an alarming rate according to NSS Labs' BaitNET test infrastructure. Why? Encrypted web communication routinely bypasses enterprise security controls. Left unscanned, these channels are perfect vehicles for hiding infection, command & control and data exfiltration....
It difficult to decide whether to replace or to augment existing endpoint protection (EPP) because it is difficult to assess advanced endpoint protection (AEP) products as measuring some of their features can be complicated.
AEP products are promising a new standard in endpoint security, but when should...
One of the most frustrating threat innovations of the last decade has been ransomware malware. Initially considered just a consumer threat, both government and commercial enterprise networks can now be listed among its victims.
In this Infographic, Forcepoint Security Labs examines the technical and business...
The best approach to building a security policy is by using a comprehensive, layered approach that covers all threats (both new and known). This policy needs to leverage real-time threat intelligence by addressing all threat vectors and all platform types as workloads migrate from physical to virtual to...
Emerging insider threats have quickly proven that the proverbial "walled garden" is not so walled after all, and without true end-to-end encryption, insiders and outsiders can compromise sensitive data, says Dr. Phillip Hallam-Baker of Comodo Group.
The best starting point for effectively safeguarding data and protecting against breaches is to clearly understand what kind of data an organization has, where it's located and the risks, says Jason Hart of Gemalto.
Because hackers are increasingly targeting healthcare organizations in search of valuable patient information, it's more important than ever to ensure that data remains inaccessible to intruders. In addition to using the very latest techniques to fight malware, hospitals, clinics and others need to use effective...
As security threats are more sophisticated today than in the past, modern data centers are becoming increasingly vulnerable. Micro-segmentation is your answer to protect your data center against these sophisticated threats. Read this trend brief to see how it builds security into the DNA of the data center for a...
Adversaries are outsmarting enterprise security strategies by exploiting the foundation of online security. Cyberthreats are becoming more complex and harder to detect. Intel predicts the next big hacker marketplace to be in the sale of digital certificates, which are already selling for more than $1,000 each in...
Along with DNS, digital keys and certificates are at the foundation of any layered cybersecurity defense. Moreover, keys and certificates are akin to HLAs (Human Leukocyte Antigens) because they serve as unique identifiers giving authorized users access to encrypted systems.
But vulnerabilities, such as Heartbleed...
