Why Cyber Security is Creating a Competitive Advantage

Research Desk — Thu, 06 Apr 2023 01:50:18 +0000

When Forbes took a mid-2022 look at the state of global cyber security, one highlighted statistic was a real showstopper. Elsewhere, a study has found that ransomware now affects 1-in-40 organisations every week – a 59% year-on-year increase. In just one recent example from the news, the insurance broker Verlingue reported that a cyber attack (not stated as related to remote working) had cost the business £363,161, mitigated by cyber insurance cover to a net cost of £121,807.

Implement 10 Cloud Data Security Best Practices

Research Desk — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 22:36:08 +0000

Cloud is now the most common attack vector for cyber criminals, so it is critical for all IT teams, especially those using cloud technologies, to realize they can’t achieve true business and operational resiliency with standard cloud- native security tools. Instead, all teams must prioritize and adopt a multi-layered cyber security strategy that extends into their cloud technologies to keep data safeguarded, keeping the business resilient and the teams in control. Read our top 10 recommended best practices to implement with your cloud teams immediately.

Achieving Pervasive Security Above, Within and Below the OS

Research Desk — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 08:29:56 +0000

Keeping business data secure is a challenging task, complicated by the proliferation of endpoints operating outside of the organizational network and the constant evolution of threat vectors. Dell and Intel’s decades long co-enablement relationship is founded on their commitment to keeping commercial customer networks secure. Our holistic approach to security employs software-based, “above the OS” protections against traditional attacks, silicon-based protections from Intel, and hardware-based, “below the OS” capabilities that help defend against attacks targeting the deepest levels of a device. In addition to this approach, Dell and Intel have invested in practices and policies to continually help secure platforms once they are out in the market and subject to attack from malicious actors.

Cybersecurity Insiders 2022 VPN Risk Report

Research Desk — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 11:04:43 +0000

Organizations have relied on VPNs for decades to deliver secure remote access to employees. During the COVID-19 pandemic, companies were forced to rapidly shift to remote work to stay productive and profitable. However, using VPN for remote access puts those organizations at significant risk, as traditional VPN architectures often trust too readily and excessively. Bad actors can exploit the VPN attack surface to infiltrate the network and launch ransomware, phishing attacks, denial of service, and other means of exfiltrating critical business data. As reported by countless news articles about VPN exploits, almost 500 known VPN vulnerabilities are listed on the CVE database.

This 2022 VPN Risk Report surveyed 351 cybersecurity professionals to provide fresh insight into the state of remote access and VPN within the enterprise, the rise in VPN vulnerabilities, and the role that zero trust plays in enabling the next generation of secure access.

Key findings include:

78% of organizations are concerned about ransomware attacks
44% witnessed an increase in exploits targeting their VPN since adopting remote work
65% of companies are considering adopting VPN alternatives
80% of companies are in the process of adopting zero trust in 2022
68% say their focus on remote work accelerated the priority of zero trust projects, up from 59% in 2021
