Defense-in-depth is a cybersecurity strategy that emphasizes deploying multiple layers of security controls and countermeasures to protect critical assets and mitigate the impact of potential attacks.
Gartner just released its Emerging Tech Impact Radar: Security, which looked at technologies that could help organizations effectively detect and respond to attacks and create better efficiencies through AI-based security hyper-automation.
“Zero-day Summer” refers to the period during summertime when cybercriminals take advantage of the vulnerabilities in software, applications, and computer systems that remain undetected and unpatched by security teams.
The financial services industry handles vast amounts of highly sensitive financial information, including customer data, transaction records, and intellectual property, making them a prime target for cyber attacks.
New research from Verizon reveals that ransomware is responsible for a sizable percentage of all recorded security incidents. Despite the alarming statistics raised in the report, the tech giant warns, we’re likely to see continued growth in the number of ransomware attacks against organizations.
Municipalities, in particular, are increasingly being targeted by ransomware attackers. A recent report showed that ransomware attacks on local governments increased by 70% for 34-58% of those surveyed, and that those attacks were more expensive than ever, with five- and six-digit ransom demands becoming the norm.
Industry watchers are reporting a noteworthy uptick in ransomware attacks reported in February 2023.
A new mass ransomware attack is making headlines. As the Washington Post reports in a recent article, “The latest mass ransomware attack has been unfolding for nearly two months,” major U.S. corporations have fallen victim to an attack that may have origins dating back to late January.
The hits just keep on coming in the world of headline-grabbing data breaches. Threat actors kept busy in 2022 and right on into the new year, with several notable data breaches already making news in 2023.

Learn how these technologies can be used to detect and prevent attacks, and how they can be leveraged by enterprises to improve their cybersecurity posture. Stay up-to-date on the latest developments in AI and ML to protect your organization from malware and ransomware.
Well over half of global organizations — 66% — were hit with ransomware attacks in 2021, according to a new independent study. In a sign that we may be seeing a ramp up to even more widespread damage from these sneak attacks, it’s a 78% increase over the prior year.
Experts have warned that the Russia-Ukraine conflict poses an unprecedented cyber risk for U.S. organizations as well as State and local governments and municipalities.
Ransomware attackers often find government networks to be lucrative sitting targets that are often largely left unprotected against modern threats. As CNN reports, state and local governments tend to lack enough money and personnel to effectively mitigate these threats.
Ransomware attacks launched against healthcare providers are on the rise as 2021 draws to a close. The HHS Office for Civil Rights’ HIPAA Breach Reporting Tool points to several high-impact ransomware attacks related to the healthcare industry.
Monthly reports that lack relevant details about an organization’s true risk level are insufficient and not representative of the further steps an organization should take to protect itself. This approach leaves organizations feeling secure against the threat of ransomware while they are actually left exposed to potentially expensive, wide-scale damage.
Ransomware attackers aren’t always after the biggest fish. In fact, so-called “mid game hunting” — as opposed to “big game” hunting — where attackers identify smaller targets that are less likely to trigger a legal or governmental response, appears to be on the rise.
Not long ago, the concept of killware was the stuff of futuristic, doomsday movie fare. The idea that hackers could breach systems related to basic public infrastructure and health services to put people’s very lives at risk seemed scary, but far-fetched. Unfortunately, that dystopian future has, at least to some degree, arrived.
While we’re seeing more data breaches than in years past, being proactive can make an enormous difference. Head-in-sand is not the optimal position for any modern organization with a network-based infrastructure. Education about the nature of modern data breaches is a great place to start.
