ThreatQuotient’s Perspective on Security Operations and vision for AI in the ThreatQ Platform We’re all familiar with the “speed of cybersecurity”, the rapid pace at which cyber threats evolve and the corresponding need for timely and agile defense measures. We’ve been trained to understand the importance of quickly detecting, analyzing, and mitigating cyber risks to stay ahead of attackers and protect assets in an increasingly dynamic and interconnected world.
Defense contractors face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats that can compromise sensitive data and disrupt operations. To combat these risks, the Department of Defense (DoD) has implemented the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC).
It’s no secret that the U.S. power grid is one of the main foundations of the nation’s economy, infrastructure, and daily way of life. Now that almost everything is digitized, it is hinging on it even more. We wouldn’t be able to use even most vending machines (not to mention cell towers or the internet) without a working electrical supply, and the importance of keeping it safe cannot be understated. Thankfully, a lot of positive changes have already been made.
Following the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the UK government commissioned Dame Judith Hackitt to conduct an independent review of building regulations and fire safety. In her report, "Building a Safer Future," Dame Judith proposed the use of a "Golden Thread" as a tool for managing buildings as holistic systems and enabling people to design, construct, and operate their buildings safely and efficiently.
In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, cybercriminals have become more sophisticated than ever, making it crucial to stay abreast of the latest trends and tactics. The challenge is exacerbated by the expanding attack surface as more devices and device types connect to enterprise networks: IT, OT, IoT and IoMT devices, all with known vulnerabilities that can be exploited.
It’s a typical Monday morning. You’ve just brewed a comforting cup of tea and are about to dive into the weekend sales reports for your online store. As usual, business seems to be booming until a glaring anomaly catches your eye – an alarmingly high number of transaction reversals over the weekend. A sense of unease creeps in as you probe deeper, only to uncover a chilling truth. Your business has become the latest prey to an insidious form of fraud, chargeback fraud.
Spending for software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications is projected to grow 17.9% to $197 billion in 2023, then grow another 17.7% to $232 billion in 2024. This rapid growth is being fueled by several factors including the desire to modernize IT environments and enable hybrid workers, who might login from a branch office one day and a hotel room the next.
Whether it is reporting a phishing email or something that might be illegal that a coworker is doing, your employees should be a strong last line of defense for security and compliance. According to Gartner, almost 60 percent of all misconduct that is observed in the workplace never gets reported. For decades both compliance officers and security leaders have known that the earlier employees report incidents, the lower the risk. Yet low reporting rates continue to be a problem.
