Where does the cyber security buck stop?

Posted on by

Late last year, Bruce Schneier testified before the U.S. House Energy and Commerce committee asking them to consider imposing security regulations on the Internet of Things (IoT). Schneier argued that neither IoT buyers nor sellers care about a device’s security. Sellers are interested in quickly releasing inexpensive products to market, while buyers only care about getting cool gadgets for cheap. This unhealthy and unsecure IoT market results in incidents like the Mirai botnet, in which … More → Continue reading Where does the cyber security buck stop?→

Battling cyber security’s human condition

Posted on by

There is no silver bullet when it comes to cyber security. Organizations with multi-million dollar IT budgets still make headlines for being successfully breached, and even government intelligence organizations can’t keep their hacking tools secret despite having some of the strongest protections and strictest policies on the planet. While providers of software solutions, apps and services, and hardware can deliver quality security solutions, the difference between stopping a breach and falling victim to one often … More → Continue reading Battling cyber security’s human condition→

Endpoint security is only one piece of the puzzle

Posted on by

Like many of you, I attended RSAC in February. Wading through the crowd of more than 43,000 people, I was interested to see how many new and improved endpoint security solutions were being touted by big-name vendors and newcomers alike. Machine learning (or full AI) is in, and signature-based AV solutions are on their way out – at least in part. None of this really surprised me, but I do worry that the industry might … More → Continue reading Endpoint security is only one piece of the puzzle→

Results of the rogue Access Point experiment at RSA Conference 2017

Posted on by

The security of open Wi-Fi hotspots has been a subject of great concern for years. But, would believe that we were overwhelmingly successful using Wi-Fi attacks dating back twelve years on the RSA Conference show floor in San Francisco? Either we are really good at getting lucky with old tools, or there is a serious Wi-Fi security pandemic out there. To be clear, our Wi-Fi attacks were totally benign to the audience. Last year, at … More → Continue reading Results of the rogue Access Point experiment at RSA Conference 2017→

Is it time to call an MSSP? Five signs that it can’t wait

Posted on by

Small and midsize businesses (SMBs) are fighting an uphill battle when it comes to managing their network security. According to a 2016 Ponemon study, 69 percent of SMBs don’t have the adequate budget or in-house expertise to achieve a strong cyber security position. As a matter of fact, more than half of the study’s SMB respondents experienced a data breach or cyber attack in the past year with an average cost of $879,582. This is … More → Continue reading Is it time to call an MSSP? Five signs that it can’t wait→
