The digital revolution has been a boon for today’s businesses by opening up new markets, improving targeting, and transforming product and service delivery methods. Unfortunately, this transformation has also been great for digital marauders around the world—for many of the same reasons. As users, devices, applications, and data continue to move out of the data center and into the cloud and the edge of the network, threat actors are taking advantage of the expanded attack surfaces by discovering and reaching new victims and pulling off highly targeted social engineering and spearphishing camp ..read more

In an unprecedented move, President Biden publicly and privately has been putting pressure on global leaders for harboring known cybercriminals who have launched attacks on U.S.-based organizations. FBI Director Christopher Wray likened today’s cybersecurity threats to the September 11 attacks in New York and Washington, D.C., and other officials, including Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, have hinted that military action would be considered if it would protect the U.S. from cybercriminals backed by nation-states.   ..read more

Security, designed to protect the perimeter, is slowly evolving ..read more
