The cybersecurity industry is constantly adapting and reinventing itself as the complexity of the threat landscape is increasing each year. Unskilled and insufficient employees are significant barriers making organizations unsafe. The lack of competent cybersecurity partners and the shift to remote working are additional barriers to making organizations secure. Organizations are therefore turning to MSPs to address these challenges.

SecurityScorecard is a customer-obsessed organization, which is why we asked ourselves: How can we provide more value to the thousands of CISOs who rely on our security ratings to make smarter, faster business decisions? We now make this guarantee: Qualified customers who maintain an A grade within the SecurityScorecard security ratings platform and still suffer an incident are eligible for complimentary Digital Forensics and Incident Response services.

The “Great Resignation” is still well underway, further impacting a cybersecurity industry with a historically low retention rate. According to a report published by Enterprise Strategy Group in partnership with Information Systems Security Association International, 76% of organizations say it is difficult to recruit and hire security professionals.

As technology continues to advance, the risks of cyber threats and data breaches become more prevalent. That's why having a proper incident response plan and building an effective incident response team is essential to mitigating the damages of a cyber incident. According to a study by the University of Maryland, a cyber attack occurs every 39 seconds on average. For businesses, the stakes are high, and a data breach can result in significant losses, both financial and reputational.

According to the 2020 FTC Data Report, vishing constituted 31% of fraud reports, with an aggregated loss of $436 million. That's a lot of vishing. Scammers' methods have become out-of-this-world, too. Years ago, a social media video of a police officer taking a scam call in real time became viral. The scammer, posing as a banking representative, requested personal information on the pretext of verifying their account. The officer was uncooperative.

Cybersecurity incident response is an essential aspect of modern organizational security. In the event of a security breach or any other security-related incident, it is crucial to have a well-defined process to minimize the impact of top cyber security threats and recover from them as quickly as possible. Two of the most widely used frameworks for incident response are SANS and NIST.

In cybersecurity as in sports, teamwork makes the dream work. In a world where security analysts can feel constantly bombarded by threat actors, banding together to share information and strategies is increasingly important. Over the last few years, security operations center (SOC) analysts started sharing open source Sigma rules to create and share detections that help them level the playing field.

Cyberattacks are increasing in frequency and sophistication, and it's only a matter of time before a security incident occurs. When it does, having a comprehensive and effective incident response strategy can make all the difference in mitigating the damage and minimizing the impact on your organization. In this article, we will provide tips and best practices for improving incident response strategy.

This vector abuses Microsoft Direct Send service in order to propagate phishing emails from an external sender to an internal user, whilst spoofing the properties of a valid internal user. This “feature” has existed since before 2016. However, threat intelligence available to JUMPSEC has only observed it being abused recently.

This post discusses how GitHub Actions can enhance the security of CI/CD pipelines by automating security-related tasks and providing integration with other security tools, version control, access control, and auditing. These days, security has become more important than ever in software development processes. With cyberattacks becoming increasingly frequent and sophisticated, organizations must prioritize security throughout their software development lifecycle to protect their systems, data, and users.
