In recent years, Las Vegas has become a prototypical smart city. Between its fully autonomous vehicles and its array of IoT sensors, the city aims to embrace innovation without compromising the security of its 650,000 residents and 42 million annual tourists.
Yet local governments know that internet-connected...
Much like private companies, state and local governments of all kinds are going through a digital transformation at an unprecedented pace: migrating sensitive data to the cloud, installing internet-connected infrastructure, and offering services powered by smart devices.
At the same time, cyber-criminals are also...
With the explosion of poorly secured IoT devices being regularly herded into larger and larger botnets, it's hardly a surprise that DDoS attacks are now so common and damaging. What is surprising, is that many companies still lack adequate protection against these attacks, especially in an era when Internet...
ForeScout commissioned Forrester Consulting to see if organizations can adequately and accurately secure their networks with the rise of IoT-connected devices. While 76% agreed that they are rethinking their security strategies due to IoT security concerns, risk tolerance with IoT is shockingly high as well.
View the...
Industry attention has narrowed in on the threat of commonly known IoT devices and their potential safety implications to the home, but there is as much - if not more - to consider when exploring IoT threats in the enterprise.
Research into seven common enterprise IoT devices revealed that their core technologies,...
A Field Guide to Understanding IoT Attacks from the Mirai Botnet to Its Modern Variants
The infamous Mirai IoT botnet was responsible for some of the largest and most distributive DDoS attacks in recent history. Commanding hundreds of thousands of IoT devices, it sent shock waves through the security marketplace...
Smart cities contain IT, OT and IIOT environments at different scales, which are dependent on each other at variant degrees, but not managed centrally. The Global Cyber Alliance will explore the systemic risk and legal/compliance challenges that come with securing smart city initiatives and how they can be addressed....
Organizations are focused on protecting traditional devices - laptops, desktops - but at each one of those endpoints is a user who has at least one and typically more than one mobile device. You may also have devices in the field to interact with customers and prospects or use IoT tools. This means that about half of...
Smart buildings utilize a wide range of technology - everything from fire alarms to thermostats to CCTV cameras. Traditionally, all these technologies have been separated by the types of cables and management station, but now with advances in IoT, many of these technologies have converged onto the corporate network....
With 90% of organizations expected to have hybrid cloud infrastructure by 2020, the migration to the cloud is here to stay. Yet the reality is that digital environments can be a security blind spot for many organizations who struggle with the limited visibility and control, especially as their existing security tools...
From never-before-seen ransomware to industrial IoT hacks, attackers are increasingly employing new attack methods and exploiting every entry point to infiltrate corporate networks. Moreover, insiders bring another layer of uncertainty to every organization - so how do security teams catch what's lurking within their...
Amidst an era of evolving cyber-threats, legacy security approaches are being replaced by applications of machine learning and AI. While machine learning has the power to transform cyber defense, the challenge of getting it to work at scale, in a variety of dynamic data environments, without human intervention, is not...
The concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) truly represents a radical shift in how companies will operate, governments will govern and individuals will live their lives.
Microcomputetechnologies and autonomous systems will permeate our day-to-day activities. They will introduce opportunities for simplification,...
The explosive growth of IP networking has let a genie out of the bottle. The more an organization or nation is connected to the internet, the more vulnerable it becomes. The challenge is finding the right balance between "can" and "should" - the fact that we can connect every person, server, app, and cloud vs. the...
Deployed at the network layer, segmentation was first developed to improve network performance. But as cybersecurity experts have realized that a "perimeter only" approach to security is not working, it has become increasingly clear the micro-segmentation is foundational to data center and cloud security. ...
