Federal government agencies face unique cybersecurity risks, and as a result they often place tight restrictions on mobile devices in the workplace. But perhaps it's time to loosen these restrictions because they are negatively impacting missions, recruitment and retention.
There are consequences of cutting back or...
Connected medical devices are now an integral part of modern healthcare - from pacemakers and insulin pumps to wearable monitoring devices. However, persistent and unmitigated vulnerabilities in the medical device hardware, networks and applications are putting intellectual property, personal data and patient safety...
Device visibility remains a daunting challenge for the modern enterprise. Forescout provides a multifaceted information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) platform designed to solve visibility challenges for the modern enterprise by providing complete device discovery and classification, risk assessment,...
IoT, the cloud, advancements in AI, regulatory fines, third-party risk, cyber fraud - we hear a lot about how the cybersecurity risk surface and threat landscape have evolved. But how about the new demands on cybersecurity leaders? What new skills, tools and strategies are needed to understand, quantify and manage...
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....
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. ...
The proliferation of apps, wearables, sensors and other connected devices that provide access to real time health and wellness data have the potential to revolutionize the provision of healthcare. In addition, the healthcare industry is increasingly tapping into the power of deep learning to analyze health data sets...
