Thanks to globalization and rapidly developing technology, enterprise involves more connections than ever before, and more connections means more risk in the supply chain. Supply chain risk extends past those suppliers with whom you’re doing business directly. Beyond your third-party suppliers are their suppliers, and the supply chain continues branching out from there. In today's connected world, organizations must not isolate their supply chain risk management.

As the world shifted into remote work and distant learning during the pandemic lockdown, e-commerce accelerated as more consumers turned to online shopping apps and websites. Customers who shop online are familiar with email confirmation for their orders. But what if you receive an email confirmation for something that you never bought? It might be a fake order scam, and they are now being sent through Google Groups.

A top challenge faced by security practitioners is double-edged: you’re trying to keep up with new and increasing cyberattacks — all while investigating and remediating existing threats. As we know all too well, time is of the essence when you’re investigating threats and determining the scope and root-cause of a potential breach. On top of that pressure, you’re likely short on resources and experienced personnel, limiting your ability to conduct thorough investigations.

If you’re not particular techy these acronyms may not mean much, but you can easily make checks, even if you can’t implement the fix! Read on….. One of KEEPs consultants recently assessed a client (CNI) where only 55% of their domains had the necessary SPF and DMARC configurations in place correctly. This mis-configuration allows attackers (at minimum) to easily email spoof and target your users. If you do nothing else this week, check the basics!

Imagine constructing a building without a blueprint or cooking a complex recipe without a list of ingredients. It would be a chaotic and inefficient process, right? The same principle applies to manufacturing and production. That's where the Bill of Materials (BOM) comes into play. In this article, we will explore the meaning, purpose, and diverse types of BOMs, illustrating how they serve as the foundation for seamless production processes.

When most people think of threat hunting, they think of uncovering unknown threats. Would you believe me if I told you that is only ONE of many (better) reasons to show value with threat hunting? The PEAK Threat Hunting Framework incorporates three distinct hunt types: hypothesis-driven, baseline and model-assisted threat hunts. Each hunt type follows a three-stage process: Prepare, Execute, and Act.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has introduced a new rule for public companies that requires them to be more transparent about cybersecurity incidents. The new rule requires companies to disclose any material cybersecurity incidents within four business days of that determination. The disclosure should describe the material aspects of the incident, including the nature of the incident, the impact on the company, and the company's response.

Anyone who has played a Tower Defense-style game, (Plants Vs. Zombies being a favourite) knows the only way to hold off the hoard of brain-eating zombies is to know your weaknesses before the next wave attacks and to plan accordingly. Oddly, preparing a cybersecurity defense is somewhat similar: the player/organization knows attacks are coming, they have an idea from where and how they will be conducted, and they need to place the proper pieces on the board at the right place to stay safe.
