January Cyber Roundup
T-Mobile has once again fallen victim to a massive new cybersecurity breach, discovered on Jan. 5. The company has a history of hacks from recent years, for which it was fined hundreds of millions of dollars. Using weak API security, the attack caused the exposure of the personal data of more than 37 million customer accounts, which was apparently first accessed on or around Nov. 25. The stolen records include addresses, phone numbers and dates of birth.
One Cybersecurity Platform To Rule Them All: Exploring The One Architecture
Enterprises require multiple tools for cyber defense, so network and information security staff often end up managing a patchwork of solutions, a blend of legacy and new technologies.

EP 21 - Back to the Cyber Future: Theresa Payton on Evolving Digital Threats (Part 1)
Since the earliest digital days, cyberattackers have targeted identities in their quests for riches, chaos and even revenge. So, what if we could hop into a flux capacitor-equipped DeLorean, hammer-down to 88 mph, and go back in time to better understand how yesterday’s threats influence today’s landscape – and what history can teach us about outpacing adversaries? Today, we do that – and a whole lot more – with a fantastic guest: Theresa Payton.
Trustwave: 5 Tips for Safeguarding Your SD-WAN
SD-WAN continues to see rapid adoption by enterprises due to improved network performance, reduced costs and dependence on expensive routing technologies, and increased agility for changing business needs through automation.
Importance of Insurance-Validated Risk Models to Quantify Cyber Risk
By its nature, cyber risk is dynamic. New events happen and evolve all the time, making it difficult for enterprises to financially quantify their financial exposure to cyber attacks. Around two years ago, for example, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks were making headlines, and now ransomware has come into heightened focus. It's reasonable to believe that other types of attacks will emerge in another two years and continue to change thereafter.
2022 seems to be on target for the lowest year of reported breaches by large US corporations
The number of data breaches reported in the first 6 months of 2022 has put this year on track to be the lowest year of reports in the last 5 years for large US corporations. By looking at the rate at which data breach events have been reported so far this year, we predict that the number of events reported is expected to be 15-20% of the number of breaches reported in 2021
Why Hackers Love Credentials: Parsing Verizon's 2022 Breach Report
The 2022 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), the fifteenth such report in as many years, leads off with a startling statistic: Credentials are the number one overall attack vector hackers use in data breaches. Use of stolen credentials accounts for nearly half the breaches studied by Verizon, far ahead of phishing and exploit vulnerabilities, which account for 19% and 8% of attacks, respectively. Botnets, the fourth most common entry path for hackers, represent a mere 1% of attacks.
