Ukraine Cyberattack 2022: Geopolitical Cybersecurity

Europe is on a knife-edge. With over 130,000 Russian troops amassed on the Ukrainian border, the region is witnessing the biggest build-up of firepower since the cold war. Inevitably, there is also cyber-dimension to this conflict.

3 Cybersecurity Trends & Mitigation Strategies

We’ve also seen an increase in “living off the land” attacks where cybercriminals leverage legitimate tools within an enterprise’s network to avoid detection before exfiltrating data. These attacks usually occur during working hours to seem more legitimate. Lastly, Bitcoin has become seemingly integral to ransomware. It’s anonymous, difficult to track, fast, and easy. What more could a bad guy want? It’s no wonder the amount of cryptocurrency funds from ransomware skyrocketed 311% from 2019 to…

Why Cyber Change Outpaces Boardroom Engagement

Humans are addicted to stories. But sometimes the stories we tell are overly simplistic. In cybersecurity, a recurring narrative is one of C-suite executives perpetually at odds with IT leaders. They’re disinterested in what the security team does, and release funds begrudgingly and often reactively once a serious incident has occurred. This leads to mounting cyber risk, and an increasing likelihood that the organization will suffer serious reputational and financial damage stemming from future incidents—or…

Codex Exposed Helping Hackers in Training

In June 2020, OpenAI released version 3 of its Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT-3), a natural language transformer that took the tech world by storm with its uncanny ability to generate text seemingly written by humans. But GPT-3 was also trained on computer code, and recently OpenAI released a specialized version of its engine, named Codex, tailored to help — or perhaps even replace — computer programmers. In a series of blog posts, we explore different…

How to Use Zero Trust Security for the Hybrid Cloud

Applying a zero trust approach to DevOps processes is critical to ensuring secure apps. Especially considering some parts of the part are built in-house, other components use tech purchased or leased from other vendors, and some of it is composed of open source code. The software supply chain must be protected by authenticating users’ credentials, continuously monitoring the network and user behavior, and vetting any third-party or open source technology brought on board. Will all…
