The latest edition of the ISMG Security Report discusses the developing definition of "Insider Risk." Plus, Former DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff on U.S. 5G rollout plans; Cloud Security Alliance on containers and microservices.
Technology has enabled a whole new wave of "accidental" insider threats - people who make a mistake or are taken advantage of by attackers. What role can technology now play in improving insider threat detection and response? Three CISOs share their insights.
As the RSA 2020 conference showcased "The Human Element," Palo Alto Networks' M.K. Palmore turned his attention to the passive insider threat - the one that intends no malicious harm, but whose actions can lead to costly breaches.
As companies continue to grapple with the challenges of insider threats, machine learning coupled with behavioral analytics can assist in predicting and detecting potential threats from employees and contractors, according to a panel of security experts at RSA 2020.
This special edition of the ISMG Security Report offers a preview of top keynote presentations at the RSA 2020 conference, plus a look at important themes and health tips for attendees.
Most U.S. organizations have already been monitoring and defending against Iranian advanced persistent threat (APT) groups for years.
With that said, this is a good opportunity to assess whether your organization is a likely target of Iranian state-sponsored cyber operations, and determine if your team is ready and...
Increased compute power, artificial intelligence, and tools on the Dark Web are equipping cyberattackers with the resources to launch more sophisticated and destructive attacks. Reactive defenses are no longer enough to stop attackers from infiltrating even the best security architectures. Environmental dynamics are...
As cyberattacks increase in sophistication and penetrate networks with higher frequency and effectiveness, security professionals are expressing growing concerns about being able to quickly detect and stop in-network threats from both internal and external threat actors.
The growing number of these cyberattacks have...
By design, Active Directory (AD) will readily exchange information with any member system
it manages. Attackers can also leverage this access to extract information on the entire domain quickly. Security teams may not realize that attacks on AD are occurring because the activities will appear as if AD is providing...

Insider threats are one of the most difficult challenges an organization can face. Where a range of conventional defenses exist to thwart exterior threats, malicious actors within an organization are much more difficult to identify and contain. This paper will delve into the challenges presented by insider threats and...
Whether security testing is driven by compliance or as part of standard security resiliency testing, it is a vital component of an organization's defenses, especially in today's era of high-profile breaches.

The use of deception technology to combat cyber attackers has steadily gained ground over
the last several years, especially among a subset of IT security practitioners who have grown
weary of the noise detection technologies generate. Those technologies yield an exponentially
larger number of false positives than...
A federal judge ruled this week that the U.S. government is entitled to proceeds from Edward Snowden's memoir and his paid speeches because the former NSA contractor did not submit his materials to his former federal employers for review before publishing.
