As of Q1 2018, the global cybersecurity community finds themselves inundated with both internal and external advanced threat actors who are stealthier, more resilient and sadly, more effective than they have ever been before. Many organizations are coming to terms with deciding whether their security posture is...
As cloud computing services evolve, the cloud opens up entirely new ways for potential attacks. Cloud systems and images have operating system and component vulnerabilities just like those in the enterprise. For example, Heartbleed, Shellshock and other major bugs can affect cloud systems, and there are new issues to...
Ransomware attacks against healthcare organizations threaten vulnerable systems that are part of a larger ecosystem. The fast propagation of ransomware attacks creates significant damage spanning beyond the infected systems, often resulting in the shutting down of healthcare operations. While cybersecurity ecosystems...
Protecting end-user devices is an essential part of any information security strategy. But many healthcare organizations have literally thousands of connected medical devices - from infusion pumps to heart monitors - used in patient treatment that can be vulnerable, opening the door to a broader cyberattack....
Ransomware has already crippled the ability of some targeted healthcare organizations to access patient records, interrupting delivery of care for days. But will the next iteration of malware attacks bring even more disruption, and perhaps have an even more devastating impact on patients? Cyberattacks involving...
The number of IoT devices will proliferate to over one trillion in the next few years, but any device that can communicate with another potentially can provide a direct conduit from the public Internet to some very private and valuable information. In our rush to connect everything together, secure connectivity and...

With over 83 percent of companies having printers in their default configuration, with default passwords, and unencrypted Wi-Fi, what will be the threat landscape within smart cities, where there is even less security governance?
The number of IoT devices will proliferate to over one trillion in the next few...
Because hackers are increasingly targeting healthcare organizations in search of valuable patient information, it's more important than ever to ensure that data remains inaccessible to intruders. In addition to using the very latest techniques to fight malware, hospitals, clinics and others need to use effective...
Medical devices and their supporting ecosystem account for the vast majority of connected equipment inside the provider network, yet their risk is often not properly assessed. Without proper understanding of the threats to, vulnerabilities within and parts of a medical device ecosystem, it's almost impossible to...
Protecting end-user devices is an essential part of any information security strategy. But many healthcare organizations have literally thousands of medical devices - from infusion pumps to heart monitors - used in patient treatment that can be vulnerable, opening the door to a broader cyberattack. In this session,...
