Internet of Things (IoT) Security in Smart Home Devices
 |
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to devices that can send or receive data automatically, without being prompted by human interaction. Examples are cars that notify drivers of low tire pressure, a security system notifying the home owner, or smart thermostats maintaining optimum home temperature based on outside weather. These devices have very low security protocols. While attackers or hackers have not found a way to profit from taking control of devices yet, it is only a matter of time. The most common access points are through the cloud or the home Wi-Fi Ethernet network. Device owners can protect themselves by:

Opportunities and Threats of 5G on IT
 |
The sheer scale of the 5G mobile network project to define the next generation of mobile networks is ambitious and hugely innovative. But with this comes considerable uncertainty about its rollout, level of investment required and rival technologies, not to mention the often conflicting interests of stakeholders that include governments and mobile service operators. The impact of 5G on IT and non-IT sectors will be considerable and this Executive Brief summarises some of the key points from the extensive research undertaken in this area by 451 Research. Intended audience: Technology business managers and investors working both within and outside the mobile sector. Request Free! |

How to Train Your Machine
 |
Right now, signature-based detection tools and human experts are the bread and butter of most organizations’ cybersecurity systems—and these systems are failing. Malware is growing and diversifying at an unprecedented rate, with roughly a third of all malware ever created having been made in just the last two years. Where traditional solutions can’t keep up with the growth of malware, however, machine learning solutions powered by machine learning can. Learning software can analyze more data than any human could possibly hope to examine, and do it faster and more accurately. In this paper, we’re going to break down for you exactly See how a machine learning cybersecurity system works, from training to feature extraction to model building. Request Free! |

The Lack of Real-Time Visibility Into Mainframe Events and Security
 |
You must know everything that happens—what’s coming in from outside and what’s happening from within—at all times. But there is a lack of real-time visibility to what is happening on today’s mainframes. Because most of the IT world still holds the notion that mainframes are rubber stamped as secure, it’s uncommon for an organization to monitor its mainframes with the same vigilance as the rest of the infrastructure, not to mention that most mainframe events are also monitored separately from the open system technology. In this paper, we will discuss the role that real-time monitoring can play in an effective plan to secure your entire IT infrastructure, why having a reactive versus proactive event monitoring plan can make or break your potential for creating a truly secure mainframe, and what you can do to better protect your mainframes at all times.

Eight Key Pressures on Security Operations
 |
Security operations have come under increasing pressure from well-funded attackers armed with news tactics, tools and skills. As a result of this, there is additional scrutiny, micromanagement and oversight as IT security climbs the business agenda of many organizations. It’s vital to have the right information at your disposal to describe your challenges and suggest solutions. These forces can be categorized as those from external sources, and those which your business places on you. In this whitepaper, we explore in detail the external and internal forces applying pressure to your security operations, and how Managed Security Services (MSS) can help you release pressure and regain control.

Understanding AIOps & Probable Root Cause Analysis
 |
Leading analysts like Gartner agree that Root Cause Analysis is still a people-dependent process. Furthermore, they recommend that ITOps leaders leverage machine learning technology to provide contextualized information across the production stack, understand similarity in events from the past, and accommodate human interaction so that the algorithms can learn from human behavior over time. Moogsoft’s unique Probable Root Cause is the first technique that can understand causality in unpredictable IT environments with a significant degree of certainty, and without reliance on a model. In this webinar recording, Moogsoft executives Richard Whitehead and Robert Harper discuss this innovative approach to Root Cause Analysis, and how it can change the way your operations teams address IT incidents.

There’s a tremendous amount of value that you could gain from its implementation, but it also must be implemented methodically and simply or it can be overwhelming. But done right, UBA can result in a more efficient allocation of scarce information security resources via the automation of the analysis of user behavior information via UBA. By quickly providing actionable intelligence, CISOs and their staff can reduce loss to the organization by identifying and stopping an attack sooner—therefore minimizing damage.

Threat Lifecycle Framework | Prevent Major Data Breaches by Reducing Time to Detect and Respond to Threats
 |
A new approach is required. Traditionally, prevention-centric strategies have been employed to block attacks. However, many of today’s advanced, motivated threat actors are circumventing these defenses. This paper introduces the concept of Threat Lifecycle Management (TLM)—a fundamental end-to-end detection and response workflow for Security Operations Centers (SOCs). TLM is a series of aligned SecOps capabilities and processes that begins with the ability to see broadly and deeply across your entire IT environment and ends with the ability to quickly mitigate and recover from a security incident. In this paper, you’ll learn a new approach to defending against cyber threats, including:

Attackers want to steal it and companies must secure it. Cyber criminals use ransomware to lock up data or DDoS attacks that act as a smoke screen to deceive security teams and steal this digital bounty. With IoT botnets opening the 1TBps floodgates and new risks from Mirai rewriting the rules, preparing for ‘common’ attacks is no longer enough. The chasm between company preparedness and cyber-attacks has never been greater because security strategies evolve more slowly than they should.
