Security at the Board Level, Are You Prepared?:

As applications become central to business operations, and risk, security is frequently a board-level topic. Board Directors and CEOs are seeking to better understand the risk profile and the and the security posture of the company. The questions include:

• What is our risk exposure?

• Is my organization’s risk posture improving?

• What is our overall maturity level?

• What are our most critical applications and data?

• What is our remediation process?

• Is this impacting revenue?

CIOs and CISOs don’t have datadriven answers to these, due largely in part to the lack of overall visibility across code repositories and application deployments. It is extremely difficult, and typically manual, to correlate and aggregate security testing results.

Build vs Buy evaluating identity management

Identity and Access Management (IAM), or simply identity management, refers to a service or platform that identifies individuals and controls their access to system resources through user rights and restrictions. Identity management is important for security and increases the productivity of users by implementing a central directory: users don’t need to remember and keep track of several different usernames and passwords. IAM also helps protect companies and their users from data breaches. In 2015, the average total cost of a data breach was $3.8 million¹. Identity management can offer protection against these types of threats with security features like multifactor authentication breached password protection, anomaly detection, and more. Identity management solutions provide benefits for all types of businesses. IAM can also provide distinctly and specialized features to serve B2B, B2C, and B2E use cases. • B2B: A business provides federated identity management to another business, such as Trello allowing another business to log into Trello with their enterprise credentials. • B2C: A business provides social authentication to consumers through Facebook, Google, or other social media identity providers. • B2E: A business provides single sign-on to its own employees.

Ransomware Abwehr mit Unified Security von WatchGuard

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
