20 Ways to Attract Good Luck
/by RedSealInc. | January 30, 2017
If you’ve ever known someone who seems to consistently experience good luck, know this: luck is something you can attract toward yourself. In fact, research has found a correlation between good luck and the right attitudes and choices in life.

#14. Be prepared.
“Preparation is a necessary prerequisite to good luck. Good luck occurs when an opportunity presents itself and you are prepared with knowledge, experience, and risk-taking ability. You need knowledge to recognize opportunities among the noise, you need experience to identify the patterns these opportunities often form, and you need the courage to take a chance. What people often say is good luck is simply a good choice based on evidence and risk.”

Cyber-criminals Can Rat on Rippers Using New Reputation Service
/by RedSealSC MEDIA UK | January 27, 2017
Anyone who has ever spent any time trawling the Dark Web will appreciate what a den of inequity it is. Cyber-criminals use forums as marketplaces to trade in everything from stolen credit cards to exploit kits that help steal those credit cards in the first place.
The trouble is, there doesn’t tend to be much loyalty amongst thieves. “Fraud between cyber-criminals has always been an issue that limited the profitability of their malicious campaigns” the Digital Shadows report states.
Those who commit fraud are often known as rippers, and every transaction within these dark markets now includes a “ripper tax” that decreases the profit for “legit criminals”.

Yahoo’s billion-user breach calls the company’s security practices into question.
…Those companies with greater visibility into their networks better position themselves “to address the concerns of consumers, business partners and shareholders” after an attack, RedSeal CEO and Chairman Ray Rothrock told SC Media. “Digital resilience – the ability to battle the bad guys when they are inside your network, continue your operations staying in business and protect high value assets like customer data – is the new gold standard,” said Rothrock, adding that “digital resilience scores – similar to credit worthiness scores – [could] provide a benchmark and support a cyberstrategy for improvement.”

Survey Roundup: “Naive” CEOs Put Firms at Cyberattack Risk
/by RedSealWALL STREET JOURNAL | December 16, 2016
CEO Disconnect: A survey of 200 chief executives by cybersecurity analytics firm RedSeal and data company 72 Point found 80% of the respondents operate with “cyber naiveté” that exposes their companies as ripe cyberattack targets. So while 80% of the CEOs said they were confident in their company’s cybersecurity strategies, half still prioritized the outdated view of keeping hackers out of their networks compared to 24% who are taking steps to deal with hackers who already have breached their networks.
“CEOs’ confidence reflects a disconnect with the reality of increased cyberattacks and the massive financial losses associated with them,” the survey report concluded. “In addition, their confidence is based on a strategy determined to be insufficient and out of date more than two years ago.”
