In this post, we’ll break down everything you need to know about zero trust security and which solutions to consider at your organization to avoid a catastrophe.
Cyber insurance may be the one segment of the insurance industry that doesn’t fit our preconceived notions of the business. Ordinarily, when describing insurance, you might use words such as steady, sedate, or even dull. Policies undergo little change from year to year, predictable claims are submitted, payouts are promptly issued, and insurers earn a good rate of return.
In the race to adapt to COVID-19, businesses suddenly found themselves exposed to a wide range of cybersecurity risks. Hackers exploited this situation by ramping up their attacks, knowing that organizations were suddenly more vulnerable.
New cybersecurity standards are taking shape resulting from a series of steps taken by the Biden administration in the wake of the Solar Winds, Microsoft Exchange, and Colonial Pipeline cyber incidents.
One of the biggest challenges in cybersecurity is foreseeing the next new threat. Because, unlike other disaster scenarios, cyberattacks are constantly evolving.
Cybercrime statistics have continued to show that hackers are finding ways to infiltrate businesses. Here’s what you need to know.
One of the greatest threats facing businesses today is the risk of a ransomware attack. By encrypting data, hackers effectively lock companies out of their computer systems, bringing operations to a halt and in some cases forcing businesses to shutter their doors permanently.
One of the most intriguing cybersecurity trends of the last year has been the sudden decline in ransomware. The file-encrypting attacks have accounted for only 5% of malware payloads in recent months, down from 60% in early 2017. That’s a huge shift in direction for hackers. But just as quickly as ransomware has declined, a new threat has skyrocketed: cryptojacking.
Just as a new wave of coronavirus infections surged across the globe last month, U.S. cybersecurity agencies released a startling statement: “CISA, FBI, and HHS have credible information of an increased and imminent cybercrime threat to U.S. hospitals and healthcare providers.”
2020 was an especially bad year for ransomware attacks on all types of organizations. However, hospitals and healthcare facilities were hit particularly hard.
Large organizations like the Colonial Pipeline get major media attention when they experience ransomware attacks, while incidents at smaller businesses rarely make headlines. This uneven level of attention might lull many small- and medium-sized business (SMB) owners into a false sense of security. While cyberattacks on major businesses get most of the publicity, SMB ransomware is in some ways a bigger threat.
