The Trustwave SpiderLabs team conducted a multi-month investigation into the cyber threats facing the hospitality industry worldwide and has released a detailed report displaying not only how threat actors conduct attacks, methodologies used, but what organizations can do to protect themselves from specific types of attacks.

We’re all familiar with software as a service or platform as a service, but what about Cyber-Crime-As-A-Service? It’s not just the sheer quantity of cyber threats that is increasing at alarming rates, it’s the methods and ease at which cybercriminals are finding to deploy attacks.,

Organizations are continually searching for ways to strengthen their defenses against an ever-expanding array of cyber threats. One powerful strategy that has gained momentum in recent years is the collaboration between threat intelligence and cybersecurity automation.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have encountered increasing burdens over the last few years, from challenging economic conditions to a dramatically evolving cyber threat landscape. Today, 43% of cyber attacks are targeted at SMEs, and only 14% of targeted SMEs were prepared to handle such attacks. An astonishing 75% of those SMEs attacked could result in permanent closure if unable to recover data.

Organizations are constantly faced with an array of sophisticated cyberattacks that can compromise sensitive data, disrupt operations, and tarnish their reputation. To counter these threats, cybersecurity professionals require robust and efficient tools that enable them to anticipate, detect, respond to, and mitigate attacks effectively.

Organizations in all industries are facing an ever-increasing number of cyber threats. To combat these threats, security teams need to be equipped with powerful tools and technologies that enable them to conduct efficient and effective investigations. We will explore the key features and benefits of ThreatQ Investigations and how it can help security teams stay one step ahead of cyber threats.

Today, SC Media announced the winners of its annual cybersecurity awards for excellence and achievements. At AT&T Cybersecurity we are thrilled that AT&T Alien Labs was awarded Best Threat Intelligence in this prestigious competition. The Alien Labs team works closely with the Open Threat Exchange (OTX), an open and free platform that lets security professionals easily share, research, and validate the latest threats, trends and techniques.

SOC analysts are overwhelmed with alerts and manual repetitive tasks that negatively impact their ability to conduct and prioritize investigations of critical events. They don’t have the time, or bandwidth, to sift through data feeds or sources to identify and synthesize intelligence related to an incident.

In a recent panel discussion led by David Neuman, Sr. Analyst with TAG Cyber, ThreatQuotient’s Dave Krasik, Sr. Director of Product Management and Jessica Bair Oppenheimer, Director, Cisco Security Strategic Alliances shared their insights on data-driven security operations. The discussion focused on the challenges and importance of prioritizing, automating and collaborating to detect and respond to threats, and was followed by a demo of the ThreatQ Platform.
