How Microsoft is future proofing against cyber risk
Shifts in the way that enterprises and government organizations implement identity management technologies already were underway before the coronavirus pandemic struck. The sudden influx of remote work, however, has forced security personnel throughout the U.S., and the world, to accelerate plans to mitigate cyber risk. “When billions of people formed the largest remote workforce ever, overnight, pretty much we knew security, compliance and identity would not be small issues for folks,” said Ann Johnson, Corporate Vice President of Security, Compliance and Identity Business Development at Microsoft during a virtual presentation Oct. 21 at CyberTalks, the annual summit of security leaders from the government and private sector presented by Scoop News Group. Johnson went on to provide insights on how chief information security officers have adapted to a world where telecommuting is now the norm. Now, she said, more people are starting to look ahead, too. One such organization that was […]

Security transformation is about more than technology
When it comes to an effective transition away from legacy technology systems to more modern, efficient security tools, organizations stand to gain the greatest benefits if they communicate the value of digital transformation in advance and implement the right changes. Jeanette Manfra, Director of Government Security and Compliance at Google Cloud, which specializes in services ranging from data centers to backup technologies, said that a proactive mindset can help organizational leaders overcome obstacles that arise during a digital transformation. During a keynote session at CyberTalks, the annual summit of security leaders from the government and private sector hosted by Scoop News Group, Manfra explained that effective buy-in from throughout a company, or government agency, can streamline both technology and other operations. “Security practitioners in particular, whether real or perceived, can be blockers and not enablers,” she said. “And so one of the things that both working with customers and in […]

Election security pros focus on effective partnerships
Trust the process. That’s the message from a group of election security experts who, during a virtual panel discussion at CyberTalks, said they are working to safeguard the 2020 election from an array of cybersecurity threats. Benjamin Hovland, a commissioner on the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, Jack Cable, an election security technical adviser at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and Matt Masterson, a senior cybersecurity adviser at CISA, explained that the goal isn’t only to protect the Nov. 3 election, but also to ensure that the American people can trust the results. The CyberTalks panel was led by John DeSimone, vice president of cybersecurity, training and services at Raytheon Intelligence and Space. In a series of questions, DeSimone, probed the election security experts on the ways that U.S. government entities and the defense industrial base are working together “from a mission assurance perspective” to protect […]

How cloud transformation helps stop emerging threats
Automation, agility, efficiency and cost play critical roles in accelerating public sector transformation through the cloud, according to an experienced cybersecurity-focused executive with an eye on the future. They also are provide a smarter, more progressive approach to protecting data, said Rajiv Gupta, a senior vice president in the cloud security business unit at McAfee, during an Oct. 20 presentation at CyberTalks, the annual summit of government and private sector leaders presented by Scoop News Group. The need to consider more modern security approaches has taken on new urgency since the COVID-19 pandemic impacted U.S. firms, forcing leaders to reconsider many of their operating assumptions. “Not only have you seen, in the U.S., employees working from home but, in many cases, the employees accessing large public cloud services,” Gupta said during a keynote presentation. “What we’ve seen is that a threat landscape has changed, the threat vectors have changed, the […]

An executive perspective: The evolution of security and networking
Government and critical infrastructure organizations can no longer deliver services at scale and still defend against today’s cybersecurity threats without rethinking their approach to security. Ken Xie, cofounder and CEO of Fortinet, sits down with us to discuss what that approach must look like and which primary cababilities organizations must integrate into their operations to more effectively secure their enterprises. CyberScoop: How have you seen the arc of cybersecurity evolving over the last decade to where enterprises and government agencies are today? Ken Xie: Today, data and applications move between different users, devices and networks, making visibility and control more difficult. The trusted zone has disappeared and the traditional perimeter extends through and with mobile end-user and IoT devices, even beyond the entire infrastructure. At the same time, digital innovation is continuously introducing new edges and fragmenting the perimeter even further. Of course, cloud adoption plays a critical role in […]

How network modeling and cyber hygiene improve security odds for federal agencies
Agencies that have built network infrastructure over decades may not be doing enough to manage basic cyber-hygiene practices and stay ahead of modern threats, cautions a new report. When out-of-date configuration rules lurk on networks, attackers essentially have a back door to walk into government systems. However, modern network modeling platforms, capable of integrating into existing infrastructure, can help agency IT departments identify and manage cyber risks and accelerate essential hygiene practices. Network modeling tools give agency leaders a way to simulate upgrades and evaluate the impact of planned changes to their networks, as well as review past connections and rules. This can be helpful when trying to accurately understand the costs associated with cyber risk, explains the report, produced by FedScoop and CyberScoop and underwritten by RedSeal. Cyber-hygiene practices to reduce risk Targeted attacks on government agencies are becoming more sophisticated. To defend networks, IT administrators need to know […]

My info was in the Capital One breach. What should I do?
While the security world focuses on the aftermath of the Capital One data breach, the majority of those impacted by the incident are left with one big question: What do I do? The amount of information taken from the bank’s system is extensive: names, addresses, zip and postal codes, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth and self-reported income on 100 million U.S. residents. Social Security numbers and bank account numbers were also pulled from Capital One’s cloud computing infrastructure. If you’ve gotten notice that your information was part of the breach, there are steps that you can take to protect yourself. How do I freeze my credit? Freezing your credit is one of the safest things you can do if you believe you are susceptible to identity theft due to a data breach. By instituting a freeze, any business trying to run a credit check, which is often necessary to open a […]
