Cyber attacks threaten security of 2020 election

2019-09-15/by RedSeal

The Mercury News | September 15, 2019

Following the 2016 elections, investigators found evidence that Russian hackers successfully infiltrated the computerized voting systems of several states. Hackers also stole data from campaigns and weaponized social media polarizing the electorate against and for certain candidates. All of this undermines the trust we all place in the United States’ election system. There is nothing more powerful in a democratic country than a legitimate election. Unchecked, these actions and future similar future actions against our elections are a significant danger to our democracy. It’s clear we’ll be facing similar threats in the 2020 election cycle.

Intelligent CISO: Security in the data centre

Intelligent CISO | Issue 17 / Page 50

Ensuring the data centre is secure should be a top priority for CISOs as the consequences of a breach could be catastrophic. Industry experts from Vectra and RedSeal outline some of the biggest cyber-risks to data centres and offer their advice on how to ensure this critical infrastructure is protected.

“When thinking about risks to data centres, I’m reminded of an old bank robber story – when asked why he robbed banks, he replied ‘because that’s where the money is’. It’s always good to think like an attacker,” said Dr. Mike Lloyd, RedSeal CTO.

Cybersecurity is Failing—Time for a Reset?

Ray Rothrock of Redseal suggests that increasingly sophisticated attacks require fast response and victim organizations should not cover them up. He said that prevention requires security guidelines and education. He also advises making Boards of Directors accountable, as with Sarbanes-Oxley, but dilutes his suggestion because he believes that fewer individuals will take on the responsibility.

Ray Rothrock, chairman of RedSeal, said that total protection is impossible because attacks will be ever more sophisticated. He believes the best response is a fast response: Catch the attack and close it down as quickly as possible. And report it — don’t cover it up.

UK CEOs’ Cyber Ignorance Costing Firms Dear

Infosecurity Magazine | July 17, 2019

A lack of CEO awareness and engagement with cybersecurity could be placing their organizations at unnecessary risk of attack, according to new findings from RedSeal.

The security vendor polled over 500 IT professionals in the UK to better understand the cyber-risks posed by business leaders.

Over half (54%) said they don’t believe their CEO follows correct security procedure and in so doing is potentially exposing their organization to compromise. Over a third (38%) weren’t sure what technology their CEO used at home, with the majority (95%) claiming to be concerned that home smart devices could be hacked.

Cybersecurity: Is your boss leaving your organisation vulnerable to hackers?

CEOs and other senior board-level executives are exposing their organisations to cyberattacks and hackers because of a lack of awareness around cybersecurity, a new study has warned.

Research by cybersecurity company RedSeal surveyed hundreds of senior IT and security professionals and found that many of these personnel believe there’s a disconnect between the CEO and the information security team, which could be putting organisations at risk.

RedSeal expert on the IoT headache and how to bolster defences

Intelligent CISO | June 14, 2019

As the world around us becomes increasingly connected, the attack surface is only set to grow. Dr Mike Lloyd, RedSeal, tells us why IoT is the latest headache for CISOs and offers some advice on how to secure it.

There’s a saying in the security world: ’if it’s on the network, it belongs to the CISO.’ And CISOs have risen to the occasion, developing and honing a bag of tricks that work reasonably even in the face of morphing attacks and unwitting employees. But now, with increasing numbers of very different devices connecting to the internet, CISOs are realising that their standard bag of tricks doesn’t work on the Internet of Things (IoT).

Debunk 10 common public cloud myths

2. Cloud is always cheaper
On the other end of the cost spectrum, there’s another misconception that cloud is always less expensive than on-premises deployments.

Some assume the cloud is always cheaper because of the lack of data center hardware and maintenance. This is similar to saying that renting a home is always cheaper than buying one. Sometimes, renting is less costly. But if the buyer plans to stay in the rented home a long time, owning is the better financial decision.

“A lot of people misunderstand cloud pricing. They assume that, because it’s new and really popular, it must be cheap,” said Mike Lloyd, CTO of RedSeal, a security risk scoring platform. Public cloud can be expensive when users buy a fixed amount of computing power for a long period of time. The cloud is best for users who are uncertain about what they will need in the long-term — just like renting a home.

ZDNet: A cybersecurity labor shortage

ZDNet | June 19, 2019

RedSeal Chief Technology Officer Dr. Mike Lloyd joins ZDNet to talk about the labor gap and staffing shortage in security, shortfalls of artificial intelligence, IoT devices without security patches, and more. “You cannot reduce the fact that security is a human game,” says Lloyd. “There aren’t any good computers for human politics yet.”
