Combating Cyber Threats with Cyber Resilience
The threat landscape is vast and constantly evolving, and for most security teams, overcoming the difficulties is an uphill battle. As teams' responses evolve, so do the tactics used by cybercriminals—and subsequently, security teams—to mitigate breaches and vulnerabilities. Since blue-team playbooks are only effective for the time in which they are written, teams must remain nimble and constantly shift their approaches.

Why is your financial response plan static against dynamic risk?
By Kev Breen, Director of Cyber Threat Research, Immersive Labs When it comes to cyber security, there is a grave misconception that financial services are the most secure industry. This perception comes from the massive security budgets that financial organisations tend to have. In fact, the combined BFSI industry leads the line in cybersecurity spending, holding 18.7% of the global security market share. However, larger budgets don’t always mean better security.

The boardroom and c-suite are becoming increasingly aware of the business risks posed by cyber-attacks.

We’ve seen notable ransomware groups operating out of that region, including REvil and DarkSide, with the technical ability to compromise large networks rapidly and at great scale. It would be wrong to assume that the nation state housing such criminal elements doesn’t have a matching capability.

Pharma Drama: Interactive Crisis Simulation of an Insider Threat
Pharma is vulnerable. The sector, which bridges the healthcare–business divide and deals extensively with data and intellectual property (IP), is a tantalizing prospect for malicious actors. It is now one of the most targeted sectors, according to Deloitte, with over a fifth of companies suffering at least seven attacks. Perhaps the greatest threat facing the pharma industry, however, lies inside its own walls.
