SC Media asks the industry: Is cyber attack insurance worth it?
/by RedSealSC Media UK | July 13, 2017
Featuring Dr. Mike Lloyd, RedSeal CTO
UK financial services body the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) has issued a warning to insurers regarding the risk of claims for damages arising from cyber-attacks on their customers.
The PRA recommendations include the carrying out of stress testing of their capability to respond to a large number of claims at once – no doubt inspired by the recent WannaCry and notPetya attacks.
CSO Online: RedSeal Named in Top Security Tools of 2017
/by RedSealCSO Online | July 11, 2017
Threats are constantly evolving and, just like everything else, tend to follow certain trends. Whenever a new type of threat is especially successful or profitable, many others of the same type will inevitably follow. The best defenses need to mirror those trends so users get the most robust protection against the newest wave of threats. Along those lines, Gartner has identified the most important categories in cybersecurity technology for the immediate future.
Business Agility And Security Automation (Or, How The Government Sometimes Gets It Right)
/by RedSealForbes | July 11, 2017
By Dr. Mike Lloyd, RedSeal CTO
A healthy, growing business is a risky business. Why? Modern businesses must innovate, change and grow continuously to stay ahead of the competition. Normally, we look at business agility as a good thing — a differentiator; a challenge to be embraced; a way to shake the invisible hand that drives our world. But from a security viewpoint, all this change is a problem, especially for cybersecurity.
RedSeal CEO Joins Cheddar TV’s “Closing Bell” to Talk Petya, Cyberattack Impact on Business
/by RedSealCheddar | July 6, 2017
RedSeal CEO Ray Rothrock joined Cheddar TV’s “Closing Bell” show to discuss the impact of cyberattacks on sales and stock prices, and our own government’s ability to be resilient.
Ray’s segment starts at the 1:25:24 mark of the video.
Petya: Recommendations for defense and remediation
/by RedSealThe CyberWire | June 29, 2017
What can enterprises do, now, to protect themselves against Petya and the other, similar attacks soon to follow? This won’t be a one-time thing: WannaCry wasn’t, and it’s reasonable to expect fresh ransomware campaigns to keep coming, hard and fast. The attackers get a good return on investment from repurposing tools and exploits. There’s no reason to expect them to stop.
For your coverage of Petya, Ray Rothrock, CEO of RedSeal, said in an email, “It’s happening again. This time in a slightly different form and name, but it’s the same. A new strain of Petya malware is going after unpatched Windows systems via EternalBlue, the same stolen NSA tool exploited by WannaCry.”
Review: RedSeal offers powerful, passive network protection
/by RedSealCSO Online | June 26, 2017
When CSO’s sister site Network World conducted its firewall manager review, the original plan was to invite RedSeal to participate. The problem was that while RedSeal originally did manage firewalls, their product has now evolved into something else. RedSeal shares some similarities to firewall managers, but is now in a separate, unique product group. We tested the RedSeal appliance to see where it fits into cybersecurity defenses.
RedSeal today is a digital resilience platform designed to discover all network vulnerabilities, including those that go around firewalls, and map attack vectors so they can be fixed. It also tracks network health and provides an overall vulnerability score that can be monitored by either executives or IT staff.
3.5M vacant cybersecurity roles by 2021, Cybersecurity Ventures report
/by RedSealSC Magazine | June 7, 2017
A look out at the jobs landscape shows that over the next five years, positions in the cybersecurity field will triple, according to “The Cybersecurity Jobs Report,” sponsored by Herjavec Group.
The global information security advisory firm predicts that – largely owing to increases in cybercrime – the number of cybersecurity job openings will hit 3.5 million by 2021.
Cybersecurity Faces 1.8 Million Worker Shortfall By 2022
/by RedSealDark Reading | June 7, 2017
Over the next five years, the number of unfilled cybersecurity jobs will rise to a whopping 1.8 million, a 20% increase from 2015 estimates, according to a new (ISC)2 survey released today.
Driving this widening shortage is not only the often discussed lack of qualified workers but also a greater need to bring in more warm bodies to tackle the rapidly evolving ways that cybercriminals and attackers are launching their nefarious activities, according to the report. It’s getting easier for low-tech criminals to get into hacking, thanks to malware-as-a-service operations and crimeware kits.
Cybersecurity Talent Shortage Set to Hit 3.5M by 2021
/by RedSealSiliconANGLE | June 6, 2017
If you’re looking for a tech job that will be in abundance in the years ahead, the cybersecurity marketplace will be the ideal place to find one, according to a newly published report on the employment prospects in the sector.
The report, from Cybersecurity Ventures Inc., found that the skills shortage will get a lot worse in the coming years. It predicts there will be a gap of 3.5 million positions globally by 2021. Of those unfilled positions, 1 million will be in India alone, with the United States experiencing half a million unfilled vacancies.
When it Comes to Network Resilience, It’s the Little Things that Count
/by RedSealGDPR.Report | June 1, 2017
By Dr. Mike Lloyd, RedSeal CTO
Cyber attacks are the new normal for businesses across the globe. When one hits home it can cause major monetary losses and reputational damage for organisations, from which some struggle to recover. Many CEOs have gotten the message, forced into action perhaps by strict new regulatory compliance requirements coming from Europe, or concrete evidence linking severe data breaches to tumbling share prices. That means many have invested in expensive digital security systems. But are they effective, or even necessary?
