The cloud has become a hot destination in recent years. It’s what helped launch the paradigm of digital transformation that has changed how business is conducted. It has changed the role of IT, pushing IT teams to evolve and develop new skill sets and strategies. The cloud has allowed companies to achieve greater scalability, agility,…

For a CEO, CISO, or a security professional, nothing instigates a wave of panic like receiving a dreaded message such as “Your files have been encrypted” with a link that reveals a ransom demand. However, sometimes what is most feared – the ransom demand – is not the financial punch that hurts the most. Often,…

Businesses are facing an uphill battle when it comes to cybersecurity. The number of threat actors is multiplying daily, as are their skills and attacks. Simultaneously, security leaders, already dealing with staff and skills shortages, must do more with lower budgets. How can a business amp up its security in such turbulent times? In a…

The last few years have put SMBs in a precarious position, and it doesn’t appear as though their situation will ease any time soon. Current inflation rates and a looming recession have forced many to tighten their belts and reevaluate how their budgets are distributed across different departments. In the wake of several years of…

Nearly every type of business has had to contend with staffing shortages of some type over the past few years. Talent that is in demand is hard to find, and it’s especially true in cybersecurity. Unfortunately, the lack of cybersecurity professionals in the field today presents greater challenges than just filling job openings.  The Consequences…

It’s been three years since COVID first made headlines, and although we’ve come a long way since then, some of our pandemic-coping strategies have become commonplace. For example, the shift to remote work has been embraced by employees who report they have a better work-life balance and are happier, more productive, and more engaged in their work.…

If you knew you were at risk for diabetes or cancer, you’d take all the necessary precautions to avoid or delay onset. You’d go for routine checkups and tests to ensure that if signs of the disease appear, you could catch it early, treat it, and hopefully avoid a deadly outcome. A company’s cybersecurity health…

If you’re old enough to remember landlines (or have seen any 1980s or 90s movie about teens looking to put one over on their parents), chances are your parents pulled a real-world man-in-the-middle attack (MITM) on you. There you were as a sneaky teenager plotting with a friend over the phone about going to a…

People love GIFs. We add them to emails, texts, tweets, and Slack chat groups all day long as we chat away with co-workers, friends, and family. We use them as a communication tool to show emotion and convey a tone when a plain text message might fall flat. If a picture says a thousand words,…

You would be hard pressed to come up with a more nostalgic image than a child running a lemonade stand in their front yard on a hot afternoon. Unfortunately, there is nothing nostalgic about what some young entrepreneurs are doing today.  A team of researchers recently uncovered a group of minors that were running what…

Cybersecurity is a constant game of the cat chasing the mouse. The cat (a business) continues to believe that with each new plan of attack (i.e., security strategy or tool), it will finally be able to catch the mouse or, in this case, harden its security posture enough to prevent the mouse (a bad actor)…

Security experts, including our team at CYREBRO, tout the benefits of using multi-factor authentication (MFA) for an added layer of security. While that is still sound advice, recent research shows that a new phishing technique, which steals authentication cookies through Microsoft Edge WebView2 applications, can render MFA useless if people don’t take other precautions. Discovering…

If the title of this blog post grabbed your attention on May the 4th, of all days, then you probably need no introduction to the Star Wars franchise and its’ iconic starship the Millennium Falcon. But just in case you’ve been living under the remnants of the planet Alderaan since its destruction by the first…

The constant headlines concerning the latest attacks on companies across the industry spectrum serve as constant reminders of the importance of cybersecurity. Digital transformation alone is not enough. You must secure that digital environment, and it’s something that even SMBs have come to realize all too well. Unfortunately, most SMBs lack the technology stack, talent,…

As cyber-attacks have become more frequent and complex, there has been a surge in the number of Security Operations Center SOC platforms specializing in threat hunting and incident response.  The SOC market is projected to grow from $471 million in 2020 to $1.656 billion by 2025, at a compound annual growth rate of 28.6% during…

The cybersecurity kill chain, initially defined by Lockheed Martin, continues to be a general standard inside Information Security to describe how a malicious actor, internal or external, performs an attack. The cyber kill chain 7 stages are defined as: Reconnaissance – Identify vulnerabilities, improperly configured services, and obtain credentials through active or passive methods. Weaponization…

In the world of digital warfare, Artificial Intelligence is transforming the Security Operation Centers (SOC) to better respond to cybersecurity threats and attacks. Leveraging AI-Based security tools, such as CYREBRO’s SOC Platform, can provide integration features whereby you will be better able to detect and respond to cybercrimes without an in-house SOC team in place. …

In the 1999 workplace comedy classic Office Space, three disgruntled employees devise a plan: they will plant a virus in the company’s financial system, which siphons fractions of a cent from each transaction and deposits it in one of their bank accounts. Since the transactions are so small, the men are convinced that no one…

Apple AirTags. Google Maps. Single sign-on technology. What do these three seemingly random tech advancements have in common? Each was created to make our daily experiences more convenient, yet each has been exploited for evil purposes. Stalkers are using AirTags to track the whereabouts of unsuspecting victims; criminals are plotting attacks and burglaries using detailed…

In many fields, including cybersecurity, common wisdom does not always translate into common practice. The majority of the data breaches that have occurred in recent years are not the result of the failure of some cutting-edge artificial intelligence firewall or of the discovery of a critical zero-day exploit. In most cases, a data breach is…

We’ve written a lot on the CYREBRO blog about U.S. cybersecurity laws–rules that businesses in specific sectors such as financial services and healthcare are obligated to follow. Today we’d like to introduce a related but different topic: cybersecurity standards, namely the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF). A standard is…

Businesses operating in the European Union are subject to the strictest data protection regulation in the world, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Unlike the United States, the EU doesn’t have an industry-specific cybersecurity law for the healthcare sector. However, healthcare organizations are subject to a new cybersecurity law for businesses in essential industries, known…

Fraud is nothing new and has existed well before the world wide web came into play. But with constant digital transformations and advancements in technology, it’s expected that fraud too will evolve and shift, becoming ever more dangerous and complex. Con artists continue to keep up with security trends, including digital resources, content, and organizational…

Today, the question isn’t if your company will suffer from a security incident, it’s when.  A few years ago, a shocking statistic came to light when CYREBRO analyzed internal incident response (IR) reports: 75% of reported security incidents were caused by inadequate investment in security solutions that caused blind spots in network visibility.  Unearthing that…
