The increasing prevalence of cybercrime and the ingenuity of these threat actors is something your clients cannot handle alone. There is no single person or company who knows everything and turning a blind eye to this bitter truth is an exercise in futility. According to a recent report by PWC1, nearly half of all businesses are being hit by economic crime, with cybercrime being the gravest threat.

RSA 2022 - Back in [almost] full force

The RSA conference was back in person in San Francisco’s Moscone Center last week. Although it has had almost a 60% drop in attendance since its peak in 2019, it was clear from the energy level that people were excited to be back in person. Due to the disruption caused by the global pandemic, there has been an increase in the prevalence of cyberattacks. Consequently, cybersecurity has remained a hot space. As demonstrated by many conspicuous booths on display, M&A activity and venture funding in the cybersecurity industry have rapidly increased since 2020.

Nine Use Cases for Advanced Cyber Ranges

Today’s CISOs must reduce risk by building and maintaining confidence in their organizational cyber security posture, but this is no easy task. Although plenty of security products on the market claim to provide “everything” you need, coverage gaps can and do exist between tools. Additionally, their personnel are inexperienced, overworked and their processes are untested.

Adding Realism to Security Team Training and Technology Assessments

Organizations spend millions of dollars on tools and personnel to defend their valuable data, intellectual property and reputation. However, most cybersecurity leaders don’t always know how well their teams or tools are working. Even if organizations hire the most qualified people and use best-in-class tools, it may not be enough to effectively defend their network. To be properly prepared, cybersecurity practitioners need to hone their team skills and assess tools under the most realistic conditions – which requires a high-fidelity cyber range using user emulation.

The Five Essential Elements of Impactful Red vs. Blue Exercises

Experience is vital when preparing to battle cybersecurity threats, but is it possible to gain experience and avoid the pain that usually comes with it? In a word, yes. Red vs. Blue events (RvBs) enable cybersecurity individuals and teams to practice responding to actual attacks in a safe and isolated simulated network. These events provide highly impactful learning experiences where SOC leads and team members can apply their cybersecurity skills, enhance trust and collaboration between teams, while testing and refining incident response processes. With RvB training, organizations can improve their defenses without the pain of actual data loss or downtime.

Pushing Zero Trust Solutions Into Production

Whether or not you’ve been following our blog series, by now you’ve probably heard of the Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). And while most security practitioners have already embraced the notion of continuous user and device validation, Executive Order 14028 made ZTA a mandate for the federal government’s civilian agencies and their IT vendors.

How to Validate your Zero Trust Implementation

It’s well established that cybersecurity is more than an IT concern. From supply-chain availability to consumer data privacy, cyber events can have a profound and lasting impact on business continuity and brand value. Even non-tech-savvy business leaders understand how closely linked organizational and personal success are to cybersecurity outcomes, this is why Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) has become a hot topic for us to explore.

Responding to the White House's Russian Cyber Threat Advisory

Less than 24 hours ago, the White House issued a warning that companies within the United States should take steps to protect themselves from potential Russian cyber attacks. As stated by the President, it would be “part of Russia’s playbook” to leverage cyber warfare in response to the unprecedented economic sanctions imposed by the United States and its allies around the world.

Building Confidence in Your Zero Trust Strategy

In May 2021, executive order (EO) 14028 sent shock waves through the cybersecurity community as the formerly abstract concept of Zero Trust suddenly became a mandate for federal agencies. On January 26, 2022, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) signaled its alignment with the EO by releasing plans to implement a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). With nearly every industry being business-adjacent to the federal workspace, many executives find themselves Googling “Zero Trust” and its related buzzwords. These moves are a shrill warning that the familiar security practices of creating fortressed cyber perimeters are no longer sufficient.
