What SendGrid can teach us about dependency
/by Dr. Mike Lloyd, CTO, RedSealThe watch-word for the SendGrid breach is “interdependence”. In the online world, we may think we’re dealing with one company, but we’re actually dealing with them and with every other company they choose to deal with. This makes an ever-widening attack surface. (The breaking news about the Chinese “Great Cannon” software shows similar patterns.) These days, if […]
KCBS Interview on Obama’s information sharing initiative
/by Dr. Mike Lloyd, CTO, RedSealI recently recorded an interview with KCBS, on Obama’s announcement of the Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center. I do believe this is good news, but I confess, I worry about the way all these proposals indicate how data will go in to the government, with very little said about how anything will ever come out. […]
The Next Manhattan Project
/by Ray Rothrock, Executive Chairman, RedSealJust participated in The White House Summit on Cybersecurity at Stanford. The President and all the participants focused on the fact that cyber is the threat of the 21st century, that government alone can’t protect us, and that no company has the resources to completely protect themselves. Recent history confirms this. Thus to collaborate, to […]
Changing how we think about cybersecurity
/by Ray Rothrock, Executive Chairman, RedSealAlmost since the birth of computer networking, engineers who build and manage computer systems have needed to figure out how to protect them from both intentional attack and unintentional damage. The deeply technical realities of securing computers and networks created a need for security specialists. Recently, the costs and other implications of attacks have created […]
US & UK Joint Wargames – let’s not wait for Pearl Harbor
/by Dr. Mike Lloyd, CTO, RedSealThe idea of the US and UK working together on war-games is a good one. It recognizes that we are in a war, and that we are losing. We need to improve our defensive game. Chris Inglis, the former NSA director, has commented that the state of security today massively favors the attacker – […]
Cyber Infrastructure – the Fifth Domain
/by Ray Rothrock, Executive Chairman, RedSealCyber Infrastructure – the Fifth Domain
The last couple of years has seen an incredible rise in reported incidents of cyber attacks. Research by many organizations, including Check Point Software and Verizon DBIR, indicate that it’s not a reporting bias, cyber attacks are indeed on the rise. The good news for us all, as […]
Security’s Nightmare: Negative Unemployment
/by Dr. Mike Lloyd, CTO, RedSealUnemployment is bad, so negative unemployment must be good, right? Um, no. (I’ll steal a line from Douglas Adams: “It’s unpleasantly like being drunk” … “What’s so unpleasant about being drunk?” … “Well, ask a glass of water.”) Security as an industry is short-staffed – critically so, and it’s getting worse.
This came into sharp […]
Calling in the security experts – your network engineers
/by Roberta Gray, Vice President Marketing RedSealI’ve talked about the need to consider your network as the key to improving cyber defenses. Here’s why.
Today’s attacks are “system-level”, supplanting specific server or host exploitations. Cybercriminals today develop sophisticated attack strategies by:
Finding PATHWAYS INTO the network through phishing emails, third parties, or other creative ways. MOVING MALWARE AROUND the network while […]
Securing Your Network, or Networking for Security?
/by Roberta Gray, Vice President Marketing RedSealEvery day we hear about another breach, and most of the time the information we get is fairly consistent – the breach started and finished long before it was discovered. It’s not always clear exactly how or where the attackers were able to get access because they’ve had ample time to cover their tracks. Whatever […]
One Billion Dollars
/by RedSealDo I have your attention?
I was sitting in a hotel restaurant having breakfast overlooking the Sydney harbor the morning I read the story a couple weeks ago. While it’s half a world away and it may not have crossed your radar, the cost of the breach of the South Korean national identification database is […]
