Humans vs. Machines: Will Adversarial AI Become the Better Hacker?
Humans versus machines: Who’s the better hacker? The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) brought with it a new set of attacks using adversarial AI, and this influx suggests the answer is likely machine. With each innovation in technology comes the reality that attackers who study the security tools will find ways to exploit it. AI can make a phone number look like it’s coming from your home area code — and trick your firewall like a machine learning Trojan horse.
Is Your Healthcare Organization Prepared to Withstand a Data Security Breach?
The healthcare industry has long been a top target for cybercriminals. According to a 2016 study from the Ponemon Institute, 89 percent of healthcare organizations have experienced a data security breach resulting in the loss or theft of patient information. More importantly, the cost of a data breach for healthcare is more expensive than any other vertical — and the volume of breaches is expected to increase.
Open Campus Threat Modeling Tips
Imagine you’re attending a training conference at a company whose campus is so vast and sprawling that a map is required to get from one end to the other — whether by car or foot. The physical security on this campus is sparse, and Wi-Fi access is in every building. There are a handful of badge readers on the doors, but also underground tunnels, offices without door locks and a lack of security checkpoints.
What Are the Different Types of Cyberthreat Intelligence?
Cyberthreat intelligence: It’s a growing business (and buzzword) that provides many market opportunities. Consuming threat intelligence data is valuable for organizations to improve their security posture and strengthen their protection, detection and response capabilities. But there are some sharks in the water. Before you dive deeper into threat intelligence, explore the clear distinction between data and intelligence: Data is a value that is the result of a measurement or an observation.
What Are the Legalities and Implications of 'Hacking Back'?
Since the Active Cyber Defense Certainty Act was introduced to the U.S. House of Representatives at the end of 2017, people in the tech industry have been forming some very strong opinions. The contentious concept of “hacking back” opens up a wide range of cyber defense tools to IT and security managers. These tools could empower them to repel invaders with honeypots and other, more-active measures.
The Security Data Scientist Is the Icing on the Cake
Information security, data science and cloud computing skills are the most sought-after talents in the marketplace today. Security operations center (SOC) resources — typically analysts and threat hunters — are increasingly needed to combat the growing threat of adversaries launching aggressive campaigns with the latest techniques and technologies.
How to Transform Data Into Actionable Threat Intelligence
Threat intelligence (TI) means many things to many people. At best, TI is the collection and analysis of data that informs security teams about what actions to take to prevent, detect and respond to cyberattacks. Anything less than that can hardly be called intelligence. Is the information gleaned from the data not actionable? If so, it’s not intelligence — it’s just data.
Achieving GDPR Compliance: The Spark That Will Light a Fire of Change
It is said that innovation and creativity best flourish under pressure and constraint. Think about what the engineers and flight controllers had to do during the Apollo 13 moon mission after an explosion on the vessel. They were constrained by time, fuel, air and many other factors. They had to do things that had never been done before to save the lives of the astronauts.
Breaking Bad Behavior: Can AI Combat Insider Threats?
Cyberattacks are on the rise as ransomware continues to plague companies across all industries and malicious actors look to nab bitcoin payouts and steal personal data. The first quarter of 2018 also saw a spike in both distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack volume and duration. But despite the prevalence of these external threats, a February 2018 report found over one in four attacks start inside corporate networks.
