Consumers need to use their buying power to send a message that they value security, experts said Saturday during a panel at the 2018 South by Southwest Interactive Conference in Austin. The panel, dubbed “Welcome to the ‘Internet of Threats’” intended to break down concerns in a rapidly-changing security landscape where more and more devices are being connected to the internet. These devices sometimes have no reason to be connected to the internet and often come from companies that have spent little time considering privacy or security matters. “How many of you are quite used to seeing something in the news around a data breach, or product that was insecure?” said John Gift, director of information security at Domino’s Pizza, during the panel. “A lot of these organizations, they do recover relatively quickly, which is a great thing, but… understand your power with regards to: if something does happen and […]

Tech advisors to the Trump administration are looking for a cybersecurity “moonshot” — a single national target that will be a game-changer in online security. But a meeting of a blue-ribbon telecommunications panel this week suggested that defining such a goal is still some way off. “This is the beginning of a conversation,” Scott Charney, vice chairman of the president’s National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee told CyberScoop during a break in the proceedings at a public meeting Wednesday. “This current approach [to cybersecurity] isn’t working,” added Charney, a former Justice Department cyber prosecutor and current Microsoft VP. “The breaches keep on happening.” NSTAC met in the shadow of the recent Equifax breach — in which hackers were able to steal Social Security numbers for over 145 million Americans, by exploiting an unpatched vulnerability in their web application software. The committee was unable to achieve a quorum and so did not conduct any formal business. Charles […]

If there’s one thing that alarms even the hardened cybersecurity veterans at the Black Hat convention this year, it’s the huge attack surface represented by the burgeoning internet of things — and at least two researchers are presenting solutions designed to secure connected devices. Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer for F-Secure was touting his company’s solution for consumer devices; and Brian Knopf, Neustar’s senior security researcher gave a presentation about an alternative to Public Key Infrastructure encryption that enterprises can use to secure their IoT devices. “PKI is awful,” Knopf told CyberScoop, “It works OK for browsers … but it wasn’t designed for IoT devices … The problem is the scale.” PKI is a form of asymmetric encryption, in which users have a private key and a public key. Anyone with the public key can encrypt a message, which can then only be unscrambled with the private key. PKI is the basis for most internet […]
