Cyberattacks are the most nefarious and organized threats modern businesses face. With cyberattacks happening every 39 seconds, taking calculated measures to detect and neutralize threats before your systems are compromised is of the utmost importance. This is where threat detection and response comes into play. Threat detection is the ability to quickly and accurately identify threats to the endpoint, network, applications, or other assets. Threat response is the mitigation efforts… Read More
How Much Does EDR cost?
Security solutions such as threat detection and response (TDR) or endpoint detection and response (EDR) have become the “go-to” for companies looking to better protect their data and prevent cyberattacks within their systems. Despite an average cybersecurity budget increase of 29% in 2023, cyber experts say they need a further 40% rise to be confident in their ability to mitigate security risks. While cybersecurity can be costly, the cost of… Read More
How Do I Choose a Threat Detection Tool for My Organization?
With 3,000 cybersecurity tools on the market, and many threat detection and response tools that sound the same, it can be difficult to discern what’s best for your business. Depending on the research report, enterprises deploy between 40-70 security tools. So, let’s take a look at your options (in today’s threat landscape, doing nothing is no longer an option): 1. Do it yourself – run multiple POCs, purchase, install, integrate,… Read More
How Can I Identify Potential Cybersecurity Risks?
To effectively identify potential cybersecurity risks, you need a robust threat detection and response strategy that vigilantly monitors your digital environment, swiftly identifies suspicious activities, and mounts an immediate defense. With these advanced capabilities at your disposal, you can proactively identify and mitigate potential cybersecurity risks, ensuring the safety of your valuable data and assets. In a world where the economic impact of cyberattacks is projected to reach a staggering… Read More
Can XDR Replace EDR?
In the world of cybersecurity threat detection and response, EDR (endpoint detection and response) is often touted as the most important element of a business’ security strategy. EDR, as its name implies, focuses on endpoint protection—meaning all the devices that connect to the business network. So, there’s a good reason for the emphasis especially given the distributed environments we all operate in today. Access to the endpoint gives adversaries access… Read More
Why is Email Security Important?
Statistics from 2022 and into 2023 emphasize the growing challenge organizations—and the cybersecurity industry—have in terms of “people-proofing” attack vectors. Cybercriminals capitalize on stolen credentials, privilege misuse, and human error, and they apply well-orchestrated social engineering tactics on their victims. 93% of successful cyberattacks start with a phishing email. Indeed, business email compromise (BEC) and pretexting has doubled in just one year. Adversaries are adept at using a fabricated story,… Read More
Achieving a Successful Digital Transformation
Recently, I had the opportunity to assist a major construction firm with their digital transformation. Like many organizations, COVID drove the need to support a remote workforce. However, additional factors were at play, including IT staffing shortages and aging infrastructure that was nearing end of support. Given the distributed nature of the company’s ROBO (remote office, branch office) and SOHO (small office, home office) locations, their IT staff faced challenges… Read More
ChatGPT is an infant that’s been given the internet
The “godfather of AI” just quit Google so he could speak freely about the dangers of generative AI products. The concern is the speed and acceleration without guardrails. Historically, we’ve had some really smart people in the hacker space that were doing things on the dark side. But now, we’ve just enabled many other bad actors who aren’t as savvy to do nefarious things. Zero Trust is 30 years old…. Read More
No easy button for cybersecurity
There is no “easy button” when it comes to protecting your data. While an endpoint-focused security solution is critical to protect the individual devices in your environment, such as computers, mobile phones, and tablets – it’s a very limited tactic. Combatting today’s threat actors requires a distributed defense in depth approach, not just a distributed endpoint security solution. As you assess your security tools – make sure you know what… Read More
Is it time to rethink your network?
Corporate networks haven’t changed all that much over the years. They’re often considered a utility to be left untouched if traffic flows as expected. Most IT leaders and network administrators have the mindset “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” This has been the case virtually since the inception of computer networks. Most networks today are still designed or run in traditional architectures, such as overlapping star topologies (via VLANs)… Read More
