6 Modern Security Tools for Windows 8

Das Aufkommen von Ransomware, der vielleicht lukrativsten Methode der Cyberkriminalität, markiert einen deutlichen Wandel in der Art und Weise, wie Internetkriminelle aus den Daten ihrer Opfer Profit schlagen. Mit Ransomware müssen sich die Angreifer nicht länger auf die Daten konzentrieren, die sie leicht weiterverkaufen können. Sie nutzen stattdessen den Wert aus, den die Daten für ihre Opfer darstellen. Selbst wenn es sich nicht um sonderlich sensible Daten handelt, sie sind möglicherweise für die betrieblichen Abläufe dringend notwendig. Indem sie die Daten „gefangen“ nehmen und für die Freigabe ein Lösegeld fordern, können Angreifer sogar Daten zu Geld machen, für die sie andernfalls wahrscheinlich keine Verwendung gehabt hätten. Aufgrund dieses Paradigmenwechsels geraten viele Unternehmen, die sich bisher für zu klein hielten, um ein lohnendes Ziel für Cyberangriffe zu sein, nun doch in das Visier der Cyberkriminellen Download Now

A whopping 74% of all data breaches can be traced to human-related causes, and it’s easy to see why. In a world where networks and applications are becoming increasingly difficult to compromise, humans are the primary attack vector. It’s the main reason why real-time security coaching has emerged as a new category of cybersecurity tools focused on the human layer of cybersecurity strategy. Real-time security coaching analyzes and responds to risky employee behavior as it happens. Alongside security awareness training, it’s now a critical component of strengthening your organization’s security culture. Read this whitepaper to learn: • Six ways real-time security coaching complements and reinforces your security awareness training • Why it’s the next logical step if your organization has a mature security awareness training program • Will allow your organization to measure and quantify risk based on human behavior by going beyond security awareness training and simulated phishing Download Now

Data production, collection, usage, and storage are part of daily life for consumers and organizations engaged in the modern digital environment. All stakeholders involved in this cycle share a similar goal: keep data, and particularly personal data, private and secure. “Data privacy” is not only a meritorious goal but also a legal requirement as many countries and states enact data protection laws. As federal, state, and international government promulgates sweeping privacy legislation, security teams must coordinate the technical deployment of internal policies and procedures to protect data. Failing to protect data can result in incredible remediation costs, loss of customer goodwill, regulatory scrutiny and fines, and, in some cases, even put an organization’s viability in jeopardy. The impact of data breaches is further evolving as new legislation allows for additional remedies, such as the private cause of action for affected consumers. Most organizations realize the importance of data privacy. The challenges, however, come when developing answers to the question, “How do we get there?” A robust cybersecurity program is a critical part of this solution. Indeed, many countries, states, and industries have specific information security program requirements, and failure to comply can result in an assortment of fines and penalties. However, an organization’s cybersecurity program is only as strong as the individuals who implement, deploy, monitor, and enforce it. The demand for cybersecurity professionals in the workforce cannot be understated. Businesses, consulting firms, and government agencies alike are engaged in constant competition to recruit and retain cybersecurity talent. As threats grow and become more persistent and complex, prospective employees who can become experts in security, threat detection, and incident response will remain in high demand.
