Cybercrime investigators are experts who are in limited supply.  Sometimes their hunt begins while an intrusion is in process, but more often than not, it occurs after the attack when a crime has occurred. The investigation is taunting and less glamorous, realizing that it can take an average of 228 days even to identify the breach[i]. At that point, you’re looking to find out what your adversaries have seen…

The researchers also analyzed the Basel AML Index: 9th Edition, which focuses on the…

This past winter, cold weather took down the Texas energy grid. Residents across the state had no electricity and no heat sources as temperatures plummeted. Everything that could fail did fail at a time when demand was at its highest. The energy grid was not able to survive extreme weather, and the losses were catastrophic. What happened in Texas may be our best example at what a full-throttle cyberattack against critical infrastructure would look like if…
