Security
It has often been said that if history doesn't repeat itself, it sure as heck rhymes. Nowhere is this truer than in cyber security.
And one of the most common 'rhymes' is the trouble that blue teams have in detecting red team tools and activity in a network. Now the reasons for this can be numerous, especially because the blue teams need to get it right every time, whereas red teams only need to get it right once...?more
According to a new study by ThriveDX Enterprise, cybersecurity awareness has increased significantly in the last year, with 97% of organizations surveyed having implemented some type of security awareness measures.

Blockchain
This morning I listened to a recent Macro Voices podcast with Brent Johnson from Santiago Capital. It was a very good conversation about the state of the global economy, particularly focused on the dollar's relative strength against other currencies and how things may play out as the dollar continues to strengthen as prophesied by the "Dollar Milkshake" theory.
Toward the end of their discussion Erik (the host) and Brent make it clear without saying anything explicitly that it is insane that global markets are essentially beholden to the whims of a very select few people, central bankers, out of the billions who are alive on this planet. ...?more

When an enterprise gets hit with ransomware, the fundamental question is whether the cost of downtime is greater than the cost of paying the ransom.
Once the ramifications of frozen data-financial and otherwise-lost revenue and productivity and the intangible cost of a damaged reputation are added up, it's no wonder many organizations decide to just pay up. In most cases, however, this turns out to be a pyrrhic victory, at best...?more

While ransomware as an extortion attack type is not new, the tactics, techniques and procedures used by used by threat actors are constantly evolving and more dangerous than ever before.
Organizations of all sizes face a myriad of challenges as cloud adoption, expanding networks exacerbate end point protection and vulnerability management.

Network segmentation offers many benefits for businesses. Segmentation improves security by preventing attacks from spreading across a network and infiltrating unprotected devices.
In the event of an attack, segmentation ensures that malware cannot spread into other business systems. Network segmentation also reduces congestion that often results in performance drop-off.
