In the digital world, where countless users communicate, share data, and engage in diverse activities, determining the origin and actions behind these interactions can be quite challenging. This is where non-repudiation steps in. Coupling other security factors, such as delivery proof, identity verification, and a digital signature, creates non-repudiation. This guarantees that the parties involved in the transmission are unable to renounce the execution of an action.

Not too long ago, when I was designing, building, operating and defending networks, the government organizations I worked with were burdened with many tasks related to deploying a new capability. We needed to decide and plan how it would be assessed and authorized, deployed, maintained, operated, patched, defended and, of course, when and how to upgrade the capability. Assessment and authorization would take months, if not over a year, for a system or set of capabilities.

Reading this recent Wall Street Journal article about Apple’s push to drive adoption of their Vision Pro “spatial computers” in the enterprise got me thinking: Can VR headsets really make the leap from a cool gadget to a serious business tool? The potential is exciting—imagine the possibilities for collaboration and training. But then my security-focused brain kicked in. How do we manage the risks that come with introducing these powerful devices into the workplace?

It's an undeniable truth that significant differences exist across many facets of life. Sports figures like LeBron James and Michael Jordan possess exceptional talent, which has propelled them to accomplish feats that defy human capability. Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk's extraordinary business achievements make them the epitome of success and a source of inspiration for many. These examples underscore a crucial point: Some things are just better than others.

In recent years, breach and attack simulation (BAS) has gained significant traction among enterprises, emerging as a crucial component in fortifying proactive security by automating the ongoing testing of threat vectors. It empowers organizations to verify potential threats, enhance security controls, identify vulnerabilities in critical assets, and prioritize remediation efforts to bolster cyber resilience.

Dive into our highlights from HackSpaceCon 2024, covering red teaming, AI, and securing critical infrastructure to prepare for ever-evolving cyber threats.

‍The power of an on-demand cyber risk quantification (CRQ) platform lies in its ability to harness an extensive amount of data, filter it, and consequently produce an objective assessment that offers key stakeholders an understanding of how likely their organization is to experience certain cyber events, along with the respective financial losses.
