Threat & Vulnerability Management

Verizon’s 2021 Data Breach Investigations Report—an annual analysis of real-world security events impacting organizations worldwide—revealed that social engineering-patterned phishing attacks posed the most significant threat to cybersecurity in the public sector. These phishing events were responsible for 69 percent of public sector breaches.

Cyberthreat intelligence analysis services provide benefits to any company that relies on IT security infrastructure for its operations. After all, cyberthreats are continuously evolving and malicious agents are always seeking to catch companies off guard.

Intrusion prevention systems (IPS) comprise one element in a comprehensive cybersecurity portfolio, proactively neutralizing cyberthreats before they enter your network and infrastructure. Due to its importance, your business must make a concerted effort to identify and implement an effective IPS.

All companies need to build up cyberdefenses to protect against the most rudimentary threats, such as malware and social engineering schemes. But as companies grow, they become more lucrative targets for cybercrime.

The Internet of Things (IoT) represents how far technology has come over the years. No longer are computers and tablets the sole devices connecting to the internet. Now numerous devices, including kitchen devices and temperature monitors, connect to the internet.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the world of automation. Without the advantages given to us from the IoT sphere, industry 4.0 would still be a dream.

Many businesses have already begun to integrate IoT devices into their information systems, and others had some rudimentary IoT devices to start with, such as the WiFi printer. 

Internet of Things (IoT) technologies have significantly impacted the business world, transforming how people work and interact. But these devices have become a mounting problem for organizations as cyber-criminals increasingly seek to exploit security vulnerabilities.  Cyber-criminals can install malware or penetrate a company’s cyber defenses using internet of things attacks.

When constructing an information technology (IT) and cybersecurity architecture, companies often focus on external cyberthreats. Attacks initiating from outside the company are significant threats, but insider threats can match or even surpass them. 

Understanding the cybersecurity threat lifecycle basics can help companies and organizations manage their resources to prepare and plan for digital attacks and any aftermath they can cause. It helps reduce detection time to be more alert in preventing and responding to significant data breaches.

Cybercriminals and cybersecurity experts have been playing cat and mouse for decades. Every advance in cyber-defense technology is the result of commensurate advancements in hacking and other cybercrime methodology. This results in a seemingly endless variety of attack vectors to navigate.
