We want to believe AI will revolutionise cyber security, and we’re not necessarily wrong, but it’s time for a reality check
Chief information security officers (CISOs) looking for new security partners must therefore be pragmatic when assessing what’s out there. AI is helpful, in limited use cases, to take the strain off stretched security teams, but its algorithms still have great difficulty recognising unknown attacks. It’s time for a reality check.

Far from slowing down cyber thieves, the coronavirus pandemic presents them with ever greater opportunities to hack into networks. You don’t have to be a cynic to expect cyber thieves to take advantage of a global health crisis. From their perspective, the time is ideal. In the confusion surrounding the lockdown, companies might indeed be letting down their guard. And employees working from home present a whole new range of possible network vulnerabilities.
On this episode, we learn about the heightened risk of cyber crime from an expert in the field: Ray Rothrock, executive chairman of RedSeal, a cyber terrain mapping company. He offers valuable advice on shoring up networks in this critical time, and explains what it means to operate in a “zero trust” environment.

Security teams can learn a lot from the current pandemic to make modern hybrid business networks stronger and more resilient. Here’s how.
We all know the role social distancing plays in combating COVID-19. Most people also understand why this is our primary line of defense; it’s about slowing down the progress of the disease to prevent our healthcare defenders from being overwhelmed. Today’s network security teams live in a similar shifting landscape and need to apply these same ideas to avoid getting overwhelmed. Here are three tactics to help “social distance” your network.

Bryan Barney RedSeal hired the former head of Symantec’s Enterprise Security Group Bryan Barney as its new CEO to drive adoption of the company’s platform among government agencies and Global 2000 companies.
Barney is replacing Ray Rothrock, who had led RedSeal since 2014 and will now transition into the role of executive chairman.
Barney most recently ran Symantec’s Enterprise Security Group from July 2017 to September 2019, where he oversaw the company’s endpoint security, endpoint detection and response, data loss prevention, email security, IoT and cloud workload protection tools. He left Symantec just a month after Broadcom announced plans to acquire the company’s Enterprise Security business for $10.7 billion.
It’s time to double-check the security of your remote access. The rapid shift to working from home meant fast-paced change with intense pressure to get things working immediately. This is a perfect recipe for new security gaps and oversights. Map your network and make sure you’ve only opened up the access you wanted and nothing more. – Mike Lloyd, RedSeal

“Decentralized” should not mean “out of control.” You still need controls between your crown jewels and your users (both wanted and unexpected). The old medieval castle model didn’t work, but this means there are more perimeters everywhere now. You need automation to keep up and verify you’re only allowing the right access. You’re the mayor of a digital city, not the guard of a stone fort. – Mike Lloyd, RedSeal

More than three months into the global Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, we have all become familiar with the advice on how not to catch this mysterious and horrible disease, which some people seem to be able to shake off with ease, but for thousands of other survivors now appears to have life-changing consequences.

Being prepared for the unknown is as important to the digital side of healthcare as it is to the medical side. Both require knowing your resources, preparing for likely scenarios and following good hygiene practices for advanced planning, health maintenance, and rapid intervention. There are established protocols in medicine and for digital infrastructure. The Center for Internet Security (CIS) publishes Critical Security Controls, which serve as a widely agreed upon set of solid, proven approaches to cyber readiness.
These start at the most basic level – understanding your inventory.
