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...
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,...
When it comes to IT infrastructure, it's fair to say the perimeter has left the premises. Whether it's discovering short-lived assets (e.g., containers), assessing cloud environments or maintaining web application security, today's attack surface presents a growing challenge to CISOs looking to understand and reduce...
Networks and attack surfaces are changing fast - there's so much more than servers and endpoints. Now, you're responsible for securing everything from cloud platforms to DevOp containers to web apps. Cyber Exposure is an emerging discipline for measuring and managing cyber risk across this modern attack surface. This...
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...
Explosive growth in network scale and complexity demands a next generation Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) management platform. Expansive enterprise digital certificate and PKI usage, coupled with the advent of massive Internet of Things (IoT) device introductions, requires automation for secure and scalable...
In the great Internet of Things gold rush, early adopters have largely left behind identity and access management. As a result, many organizations are scrambling to deal with the consequences as the IoT is vulnerable to hacks that can give malicious actors control over connected devices. Recent DDoS attacks and...
Businesses spend billions each year on identity and access management, but almost all of this money is spent on protecting the digital identities of humans - usernames and passwords.
On the other hand, businesses spend almost nothing on protecting machine identities, even though our entire digital economy hinges...
