Internet of Things technology may soon multiply in the billions. But security for these devices is practically non-existent. What needs to be done to secure IoT users now and in the future?
The Internet has penetrated seemingly all technological advances today, resulting in Internet for ALL THE THINGS. What was once confined to a desktop and a phone jack is now networked and connected in multiple devices, from home heating and cooling systems like the Nest to AI companions such as Alexa. The devices can pass information through the web to anywhere in the world—server farms, company databases, your own phone. (Exception: that one dead zone in the corner of my living room. If the robots revolt, I’m huddling there.)
This collection of inter-networked devices is what marketing folks refer to as the Internet of Things (IoT). You can’t pass a REI vest-wearing Silicon Valley executive these days without hearing about it. Why? Because the more we send our devices online to do our bidding, the more businesses can monetize them. Why buy a regular fridge when you can spend more on one that tells you when you’re running out of milk?
Unfortunately (and I’m sure you saw this coming), the more devices we connect to the Internet, the more we introduce the potential for cybercrime. Analyst firm Gartner says that by 2020, there will be more than 26 billion connected devices—excluding PCs, tablets, and smartphones. Barring an unforeseen Day After Tomorrow–style global catastrophe, this technology is coming. So let’s talk about the inherent risks, shall we?
What’s happening with IoT cybercrime today?
Both individuals and companies using IoT are vulnerable to breach. But how vulnerable? Can criminals hack your toaster and get access to your entire network? Can they penetrate virtual meetings and procure a company’s proprietary data? Can they spy on your kids, take control of your Jeep, or brick critical medical devices?
So far, the reality has not been far from the hype. Two years ago, a smart refrigerator was hacked and began sending pornographic spam while making ice cubes. Baby monitors have been used to eavesdrop on and even speak to sleeping (or likely not sleeping) children. In October 2016, thousands of security cameras were hacked to create the largest-ever Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack against Dyn, a provider of critical Domain Name System (DNS) services to companies like Twitter, Netflix, and CNN. And in March 2017, Wikileaks disclosed that the CIA has tools for hacking IoT devices, such as Samsung SmartTVs, to remotely record conversations in hotel or conference rooms. How long before those are commandeered for nefarious purposes?
Privacy is also a concern with IoT devices. How much do you want KitchenAid to know about your grocery-shopping habits? What if KitchenAid partners with Amazon and starts advertising to you about which blueberries are on sale this week? What if it automatically orders them for you?
At present, IoT attacks have been relatively scarce in frequency, likely owing to the fact that there isn’t yet huge market penetration for these devices. If just as many homes had Cortanas as have PCs, we’d be seeing plenty more action. With the rapid rise of IoT device popularity, it’s only a matter of time before cybercriminals focus their energy on taking advantage of the myriad of security and privacy loopholes.
Security and privacy issues on the horizon
According to Forrester’s 2018 predictions, IoT security gaps will only grow wider. Researchers believe IoT will likely integrate with the public cloud, introducing even more potential for attack through the accessing of, processing, stealing, and leaking of personal, networked data. In addition, more money-making IoT attacks are being explored, such as cryptocurrency mining or ransomware attacks on point-of-sale machines, medical equipment, or vehicles. Imagine being held up for ransom when trying to drive home from work. “If you want us to start your car, you’ll have to pay us $300.”
It’ll be like a real-life Monopoly game.
Privacy and data-sharing may become even more difficult to manage. For example, how do you best protect children’s data, which is highly regulated and protected according to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA), if you’re a maker of smart toys? There are rules about which personally identifiable information can and cannot be captured and transmitted for a reason—because that information can ultimately be intercepted.
Privacy concerns may also broaden to include how to protect personal data from intelligence gathering by domestic and foreign state actors. According to the Director of National Intelligence, Daniel Coats, in his May 2017 testimony at a Senate Select Committee on Intelligence hearing: “In the future, state and non-state actors will likely use IoT devices to support intelligence operations or domestic security or to access or attack targeted computer networks.”
In a nutshell, this could all go far south—fast.
So why are IoT defenses so weak?
Seeing as IoT technology is a runaway train, never going back, it’s important to take a look at what makes these devices so vulnerable. From a technical, infrastructure standpoint:
There’s poor or non-existent security built into the device itself. Unlike mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers, little-to-no protections have been created for these operating systems. Why? Building security into a device can be costly, slow down development, and sometimes stand in the way of a device functioning at its ideal speed and capacity.
The device is directly exposed to the web because of poor network segmentation. It can act as a pivot to the internal network, opening up a backdoor to let criminals in.
There’s unneeded functionality left in based on generic, often Linux-derivative hardware and software development processes. Translation: Sometimes developers leave behind code or features developed in beta that are no longer relevant. Tsk, tsk. Even my kid picks up his mess when he’s done playing. (No he doesn’t. But HE SHOULD.)
Default credentials are often hard coded. That means you can plug in your device and go, without ever creating a unique username and password. Guess how often cyber scumbags type “1-2-3-4-5” and get the password right? (Even Dark Helmet knew not to put this kind of password on his luggage, nevermind his digital assistant.)
From a philosophical point of view, security has simply not been made an imperative in the development of these devices. The swift march of progress moves us along, and developers are now caught up in the tide. In order to reverse course, they’ll need to walk against the current and begin implementing security features—not just quickly but thoroughly—in order to fight off the incoming wave of attacks.
What are some solutions?
Everyone agrees this tech is happening. Many feel that’s a good thing. But no one seems to know enough or want enough to slow down and implement proper security measures. Seems like we should be getting somewhere with IoT security. Somehow we’re neither here nor there. (Okay, enough quoting Soul Asylum.)
Here’s what we think needs to be done to tighten up IoT security.
Government intervention
In order for developers to take security more seriously, action from the government might be required. Government officials can:
Work with the cybersecurity and intelligence communities to gather a series of protocols that would make IoT devices safer for consumers and businesses.
Develop a committee to review intelligence gathered and select and prioritize protocols in order to craft regulations.
Get it passed into law. (Easy peasy lemon squeezy)
Developer action
Developers need to bake security into the product, rather than tacking it on as an afterthought. They should:
Have a red team audit the devices prior to commercial release.
Force a credential change at the point of setup. (i.e., Devices will not work unless the default credentials are modified.)
Require https if there’s web access.
Remove unneeded functionality.
Thankfully, steps are already being taken, albeit slowly, in the right direction. In August 2017, Congress introduced the Internet of Things Cybersecurity Improvement Act, which seeks to require that any devices sold to the US government be patchable, not have any known security vulnerabilities, and allow users to change their default passwords. Note: sold to the US government. They’re not quite as concerned about the privacy and security of us civies.
And perhaps in response to blowback from social and traditional media, including one of our one posts on smart locks, Amazon is now previewing an IoT security service.
So will cybersecurity makers pick up the slack? Vendors such as Verizon, DigiCert, and Karamba Security have started working on solutions purpose-built for securing IoT devices and networks. But there’s a long way to go before standards are established. In all likelihood, a watershed breach incident (or several), will lead to more immediate action.
Evaluate if the devices you are bringing into your network really need to be smart. (Do you need a web-enabled toaster?) It’s better to treat IoT tech as hostile by default instead of inherently trusting it with all your personal info—or allowing it access onto your network. Speaking of…
Segment your network. If you do want IoT devices in your home or business, separate them from networks that contain sensitive information.
Change the default credentials. For the love of God, please come up with a difficult password to crack. And then store it in a password manager and forget about it.
The reason why IoT devices haven’t already short-circuited the world is because a lot of devices are built on different platforms, different operating systems, and use different programming languages (most of them proprietary). So developing malware attacks for every one of those devices is unrealistic. If businesses want to make IoT a profitable model, security WILL increase out of necessity. It’s just a matter of when. Until then…gird your loins.

Here’s the deal: there is no business too small to interest cyber thieves. Sadly, your business is at risk if you have even a single computer connected to the internet.
According to a recent SBA survey, 88% of small business owners suspect their business is vulnerable to a cyber threat (malware, viruses, ransomware, and phishing). And they’re right. Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting small businesses knowing they have fewer resources to invest in cyber security.
Small businesses also arguably have the most to lose from being hit with a damaging cyber-attack — downtime, out-of-pocket remediation costs, and damage to their reputation.
This is why GetCyber advocates the three-pronged approach of “Precaution, Protection, Remediation” for optimal efficiency and effectiveness against cyber threats.
Cyber Risks: Know your enemy and their motives
Three types of cyber threat actors target small businesses: cybercriminals are motivated by profit; hacktivists are motivated by ideology; insiders are motivated by discontent (legitimate or otherwise).
Their way into your network is equally varied: a past or current employee with access infects your system; a link in your supply chain that “talks to” your network and becomes the point of infiltration; the grubby hands of the dark web reach into your network to deposit some nefarious code that will wreak havoc on your business and your reputation. Cyber threat training and a focus on developing a strong security culture are critical ways to reduce risk.
Every email, every query, every ping is suspect until verified through double authentication or repulsed at the entry point.
Phishing attacks account for about 90% of all breaches that organizations face; they’ve grown 65% over the last year, account for over $12 billion in business losses, and grow more sophisticated by the day. They prey upon the human tendency to trust versus targeting a technological weakness. Security training is an essential tool for preventing successful phishing in your business’s network.
When cybercriminals drop malicious code onto a network, that’s called a malware attack, and it’s the second most common cyber threat against small businesses. Malware allows criminals to gain access to networks, steal proprietary information, or destroy data on computers. Whatever its form, malware can render devices useless and provide hackers entry to data through the back door. Endpoint Protection and Anti-Virus software are fairly reliable shields against the average malware attack on a small business.
Unfortunately, the pandemic-induced, hasty move to remote and hybrid work has presented an embarrassment of riches for cyber thieves because employees increasingly use their own devices to access work resources on the business network. This mixing of personal and work devices is a security nightmare because personal devices often lack the sophisticated end-point protection and antivirus software that many work-issued devices have as default. Any personal cell phone, tablet, or laptop used for work purposes is part of your network — whether you realize it or not — which means they can be compromised through a malware attack.
Ransomware affects thousands of businesses annually, and these breaches are exceedingly lucrative for cybercriminals. Ransomware infects company data and encrypts it — essentially shutting it down and hiding it from view. The criminals then contact the small business and ask to be paid to provide the digital key to unlock the data. As you can imagine, this is a supremely unpleasant situation for any small business owner — pay a ransom that could involve vast amounts of money or try to move forward with a compromised company devoid of essential business data and customer records.
While the news is full of ransomware attacks on hospitals, enterprises, and municipalities, the hard truth is that in 2021, 71% of ransomware attacks targeted small businesses with an average ransom demand of $116,000.
Still, feeling impervious? Consider this: Recently, cybercriminals and hacktivists have become adept at automating their attacks to target thousands of small businesses at once.
Once you know what you’re up against, you can develop a strategic plan to keep harm at bay.
Precaution: Take measures now to reduce future loss
Several practical steps can be taken to minimize exposure to cyber risk. A well-thought-out company policy is the first step in preventing possible loss. A critical element of this process is compiling quality cybersecurity policy documentation. The problem is that while small companies can often operate by word of mouth and intuition, cybersecurity is one area where you must document your protocols. The Small Business Administration’s Cybersecurity portal provides online training, checklists, and information specific to protect online businesses. Clear protocols around documentation provide the foundation for good cyber security practice.
Employee education is another area where small businesses can reduce their cybersecurity risk. It is also one of the most effective ways to minimize loss, given employees become accountable for their cybersecurity activity. Employee education takes many forms, such as security training, attack simulations, etc. Each employee should also sign a document stating that they have been informed of the policies and understand that actions may be taken if they do not follow security policies.
Protection: Never trust. Always verify. Have a realistic picture of your network.
As cyber-attack types increase, so do the digital tools designed to protect small businesses from cyber harm. From end-point protection to cloud backup solutions to password management and multi-factor authentication software, there are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to doing what you can to deter a cyber attack.
But, as the headlines and data make clear as successful attacks continue to occur and attackers grow more brazen, cyber insurance steps become increasingly important.
Remediation: Experts in your corner to repair the damage should the worst happen.
Cyber insurance helps companies mitigate the financial risks and liabilities of having a digital presence.
Regardless of what form an attack takes, it is highly likely to result in compromised data, IT downtime, and administrative headaches — at a minimum, with most malware and ransomware attacks damaging data and devices. If you add the balance sheet impact of six-figure payments to unlock data and how attacks damage reputations, the severe toll of cybercrime becomes crystal clear.
And this is why we recommend small businesses adopt a three-tiered approach to addressing cyber threats: Precaution, Protection, Remediation.
Beyond covering the costs of a wide range of cybercrimes, many cyber insurance policies include additional risk-preventing services such as cybersecurity scans, training sessions for employees, and access to expert security professionals to remedy cyber events.
Remember the 88% of small business owners who suspect their business is vulnerable to a cyber threat? Cyber Insurance was created for them. And for you, if you consider it in your best interest to mitigate your cyber risk.

Dialer. AQQ is a dialer type malware. Dialers usually try to establish phone connections with high rate numbers, significantly increasing the phone bill of the affected user.
Dialer. AQQ affects computers that use a modem to connect to the Internet, as the virus modifies the Dial-up network access settings. It changes the telephone number provided by the ISP (Internet Service Provider), which is a local-rate number, to a high-rate number.
Dialer. AQQ does not spread automatically using its own means. It needs an attacking user's intervention in order to reach the affected computer. The means of transmission used include, among others, floppy disks, CD-ROMs, email messages with attached files, Internet downloads, FTP, IRC channels, peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks, etc.

When it comes to the realm of protecting your devices and network from threats, the broad term that most people are generally familiar with is "cybersecurity." However, this major area has several sub-categories or related themes that are often incorporated into or around it, and one of these that's become much more well-known in the IT world in recent years is called "cyber resiliency."
At Onward Technology, we're happy to assist a huge range of business clients with all their network security and related IT needs, with 24/7 real-time monitoring we apply to numerous different clients and needs. What's meant when discussing cyber resiliency, and what are some simple ways to achieve this approach in your business network? Here's a basic rundown.
What is Cyber Resiliency?
You've heard of cybersecurity, and you've also likely heard of disaster recovery (if you haven't heard this latter term, it speaks to having a solid plan in place to quickly get your business operational again after a serious event such as data loss, malware attack, etc.). Cyber resiliency is somewhere in the middle of these two concepts, and can be defined as a proactive and holistic approach to cybersecurity that also incorporates disaster recovery concepts.
In other words, cyber resiliency is about taking multiple efforts to ensure all company data is private, protected, backed-up -- and maybe most importantly, recoverable in case of any type of incident.
Why is Cyber Resiliency Important?
The concept of cyber resiliency has become much more prominent in business networking conversations for a few reasons. First, as noted, attacks on all types and sizes of businesses are becoming more common (and often more sophisticated), so there's a heightened need to have stronger protection in place. Second, "cyber incidents" can come in many forms and cause different levels of damage, so it's important to have a plan that can address any type of issue that might come up.
Consider the data breaches at Yahoo and Equifax: In both cases, massive amounts of customer data were stolen by hackers. But while the Yahoo breach was eventually blamed on a state-sponsored actor, the Equifax incident was caused by a much more common type of cyber attack. So while the effects were similar (loss of customer trust, millions spent on recovery efforts, etc.), the root cause was different -- and each required a different type of response.
In other words, a "one size fits all" approach to cybersecurity and disaster recovery simply isn't enough anymore. You need a multi-faceted, proactive plan that can address any type of incident -- and this is where cyber resiliency comes in.
Our next several sections will go over how to achieve cyber resiliency within your business, plus how our team will help.
Seek Professional Support
Simply put, it's hard for most organizations to achieve cyber resiliency on their own. Cybersecurity is a huge and complex topic, with new threats emerging all the time. And while you might have in-house IT staff, they likely don't have the bandwidth or expertise to keep up with everything that's going on in this realm.
This is where professional support comes in. A trusted Managed Services Provider (MSP) like Onward Technology can serve as your "virtual IT department," keeping an eye on your network around the clock and responding quickly to any incidents that might come up.
And when it comes to disaster recovery, an MSP can provide invaluable assistance in developing and testing a comprehensive plan -- so you know exactly what needs to be done in case of an incident, and can have confidence that your plan will work as intended. In other words, partnering with a reputable MSP is one of the best ways to achieve cyber resiliency for your business.
Onward Technology is proud to offer comprehensive cybersecurity and IT support services to businesses of all sizes. We'll work with you to assess your specific needs and put together a custom plan that will help you achieve your goals -- including cyber resiliency.
Analyze Risks and Business Goals
As you're working with our team to develop a cyber resiliency plan, one of the first steps we'll take is to analyze the risks your business faces and what your specific goals are.
This will help us understand what types of incidents are most likely to occur, how much damage they could cause, and which systems and data are most critical to your operations. We'll also consider any compliance requirements you might have (e.g. HIPAA, PCI, etc.), as these will need to be taken into account in your disaster recovery plan.
From there, we'll work with you to develop a comprehensive strategy that will help you meet your goals and protect your business from the types of incidents that are most likely to occur.
This is important because it will serve as the starting point for your disaster recovery plan. For example, if you're a retail business, you might need to be able to process transactions and fulfill orders within a certain time frame in order to keep your customers happy.
On the other hand, if you're a healthcare provider, you might need to have systems in place that allow you to access patient records quickly and efficiently -- even in the case of a major outage.
Once we have a clear understanding of your baseline expectation, we'll work with you to develop a plan that will help you meet (or exceed) it -- no matter what type of incident might occur.

Within the realm of cybersecurity, the broad category of malware is one that businesses need to be aware of. One of the most significant threats within this area, especially over the last few years, is what's known as ransomware.
At Onward Technology, we're here to provide high-quality cybersecurity and related IT support services to numerous business clients, and ransomware is just one of many threat types we help protect you against. What is ransomware, how does it work, and what are some of the steps we'll help you take to ensure it doesn't become a risk for your company? Basics on Ransomware
For those new to this realm, ransomware refers to a type of malware that either encrypts or erases critical data on a system and then demands payment from the user in order to restore access. Ransomware attacks can target both individuals and organizations, but businesses are increasingly being targeted by this type of attack.
There are two common types of ransomware: locker ransomware and crypto ransomware. Locker ransomware essentially "locks" users out of their systems until a ransom is paid, while crypto ransomware uses encryption to make data inaccessible until a ransom is paid. There are also different types of methods used to distribute ransomware, including phishing emails (which trick users into clicking on malicious links or attachments), drive-by downloads (which automatically download malware when users visit certain websites), and even USB devices that have been infected with malware.
There are a few key reasons why ransomware is such a dangerous threat, especially for businesses. First of all, ransomware can be very difficult (and sometimes even impossible) to remove once it's infected a system. Second, paying the ransom doesn't guarantee that you'll get your data back – in fact, there's no guarantee that the attacker will even provide you with the decryption key after receiving payment.
And finally, ransomware can have a significant financial impact on businesses, as not only do companies have to pay the ransom but they also face the cost of downtime and lost productivity. For many businesses, the costs associated with a ransomware attack can be devastating.
Expanding Ransomware Capabilities
Unfortunately, ransomware variants have begun to spring up that are even more dangerous than those that have come before. In particular, there are now ransomware variants that not only encrypt data but also threaten to publicly release it unless a ransom is paid. This type of attack is known as "ransomware as a service" or RaaS.
With RaaS attacks, businesses face the risk of not only losing access to their data but also having that data leaked publicly. This can be extremely damaging to a business, both in terms of the financial impact and the reputational damage.
Preventing Ransomware Attacks
The best way to protect your business against ransomware is to prevent attacks from happening in the first place. There are several themes that should likely be considered here (themes our team will be happy to assist you with):
Ensure quality backups: This is perhaps the most important step you can take to protect your business against ransomware. By maintaining quality backups, you'll be able to recover your data even if it's encrypted by ransomware. Backups are important for numerous reasons, but they're especially critical when it comes to ransomware.
Educate your employees: Another key step is to educate your employees about the dangers of ransomware and how to avoid falling victim to an attack. This includes things like being careful about the email attachments they open and the websites they visit. It's also important to make sure that your employees know not to download files from untrustworthy sources.
Use security software: Security software can help to protect your business against ransomware by blocking malicious emails and website, and by scanning files for malware before they're downloaded. This is an important layer of protection that can make a big difference.
Restrict access to certain websites: In some cases, it may make sense to restrict access to certain websites (especially those that are known to be untrustworthy or that are known to host malware). This can help to prevent employees from accidentally infecting their devices with ransomware.
Vet and monitor third party services: If your business uses any third-party services, it's important to vet those services carefully and to monitor them for any signs of suspicious activity. In some cases, ransomware can be spread through third-party services that have been compromised by attackers.
Have a response plan: In the event that your business is hit with a ransomware attack, it's important to have a response plan in place. This should include steps for isolating infected systems, contacting law enforcement, and restoring data from backups.
For more on what ransomware is and how to steer clear of it within your business's operations, cybersecurity or other managed IT services, speak to our team at Onward Technology today.
There are several important elements when it comes to your business's tech and device setup and efficiency, and one of these is the age of specific components involved. Older technology will naturally have more issues than newer tech, and there may come a point where old hardware or software that's still being used in major ways will be costing your business money in real time.
At Onward Technology, we're here to stop this from happening to you. Our quality IT procurement services allow our clients to get fantastic deals on both hardware and software for all their needs, meaning you can upgrade from your older equipment at affordable costs that allow you to stay efficient. What are some of the risks of sticking with older hardware or software in your setup? Here are several.
Security Concerns
Perhaps the single largest risk you're opening yourself up to by continuing to use old hardware or software is security concerns. If a device or program hasn't been updated in several years, the security protocol surrounding it will be incredibly out of date. This leaves you vulnerable to all sorts of attacks, both external and internal, that could cost your business dearly.
For instance, an employee could unknowingly download malware onto an old computer, which could then spread throughout your network and encrypt all your data until a ransom is paid. This sort of thing happens more often than you might think, and it's almost always to businesses with outdated technology.
Lost Productivity
Another major issue you'll run into is lost productivity. Older hardware will take longer to perform the same tasks as newer hardware, and this can quickly add up when multiplied across your entire team. This difference might only be a few seconds per task, but over the course of a day or a week, it can really add up.
And if you're still using old versions of software, you're likely not taking advantage of all the new features and capabilities that have been added in recent years. This can again lead to lost productivity as your team tries to make do with outdated tools.
Increased Maintenance Costs
Older hardware and software will also generally require more maintenance than newer tech. This is because they're more prone to breaking down and because there are often fewer people who know how to properly maintain and repair them. As a result, you'll likely see your IT maintenance costs go up if you're still using older tech.
All of these factors can really add up, and they can have a serious impact on your business's bottom line. That's why it's so important to keep your technology up to date. And with Onward Technology's IT procurement services, you can do just that without breaking the bank.
If you have any questions about our services or how we can help you upgrade your tech, don't hesitate to contact us today. We'll be happy to answer any of your questions and point you in the right direction!
There are a number of buzzwords out there that you may have heard in the cybersecurity world, and one of the most important for many businesses is the firewall. Serving as one of your top forms of defense against various online threats, firewalls have evolved over the years right along with the kinds of risks they're meant to prevent, and remain a highly effective cybersecurity method that businesses should be taking advantage of.
At Onward Technology, we're happy to provide high-quality cybersecurity services to clients throughout Utah, and firewalls are just one of many tools we may help you utilize here. What are firewalls, why are they important, and what types of firewall might you need to know about? Here's a basic primer.
Firewall Basics
From a broad perspective, a firewall is a term that refers to any kind of system that's meant to act as a barrier between two networks. When it comes to cybersecurity, this usually refers to a hardware device or software program that's designed to protect a private network from outside users who might try to gain unauthorized access.
Firewalls can be used to filter incoming traffic and block anything that appears malicious, essentially acting as a barrier between your network and the rest of the internet. In many cases, they'll also be able to monitor outgoing traffic and prevent sensitive data from being leaked outside of the private network.
Why Firewalls are Important
In today's day and age, it's a sad reality that there are many threats and malicious actors lurking online waiting to take advantage of businesses who aren't prepared for them. Whether it's phishing emails, ransomware attacks, or an infiltration through one of your systems that allows hackers access to the entirety of your network, these kinds of breaches can result in huge losses and even put you out of business.
As such, firewalls have become an essential part of cybersecurity for businesses of all sizes. By protecting your network from unwanted traffic and malicious actors, you can help to ensure that your data and systems stay safe and secure.
Software firewalls: These firewalls are installed on individual computers within a network and typically come bundled with other security software.
Hardware firewalls: Rather than being installed on individual computers, hardware firewalls are devices that are connected between a modem and router to filter traffic for an entire network.
Cloud firewalls: These combine on-site hardware and software interfaces, allowing businesses to add new firewall features and functionality as needed.
Firewall as a Service (FWaaS): An option that's growing in popularity, FWaaS allows businesses to outsource their firewall needs to a third-party provider.

Cybersecurity for businesses has been a vital theme for many years, and it only increases with each passing year. Especially as the pandemic led to more and more employees working from home than ever before, businesses everywhere are looking to ensure that all their employees have the right training and resources when it comes to maintaining cybersecurity practices, both within the office and among remote workers.
At Onward Technology, we're here to help with a variety of IT support and managed IT services, including consulting and custom IT services for many of our Utah clients, from educational facilities to many others. We've assisted numerous entities with both initial and ongoing training for employees in several tech support areas, including cybersecurity themes that are vital across the company. What are some broad concepts that are important for any such training? Here are several to keep in mind.
Make Expectations Clear Up Front
First and foremost, from the time new employees are hired, their cybersecurity training should begin. This should not be a one-time event, but an ongoing process that is reinforced continually.
As with anything else related to job expectations and duties, clear communication is key in ensuring that everyone understands the importance of cyber hygiene and adheres to best practices. Management must make it clear that violations will not be tolerated and that employees will be held accountable -- but at the same time, provide support and help employees learn what they need to protect the company.
In many cases, this will involve multiple forms of communication, such as memos, emails, online resources, and face-to-face meetings. Cybersecurity is a dynamic and ever-changing field, so it's important that employees are kept up to date on the latest threats, as well as defensive measures they can take.
Device Care
Especially if your business employs remote employees, but even if not, it's important to emphasize the need for good cyber hygiene habits. This includes not only safeguarding devices against malware and viruses, but also being mindful of what information is shared and where it's going.
For example, an unsecured Wi-Fi connection at a public place can easily give attackers access to your device and all the sensitive data on it. While most people are aware of the dangers of clicking on unknown links or downloading suspicious files, there are other ways to be careless with your device that can lead to a data breach.
Educate employees on how to properly care for their devices and keep them safe, both physically and electronically. This includes using strong passwords, not saving sensitive information on the device, and being aware of their surroundings when using public Wi-Fi.
Importance of Confidentiality
For certain businesses, such as those in the medical field or with financial data, confidentiality is of utmost importance. Employees must be made aware of the sensitivity of the information they're handling and understand the consequences of sharing it with unauthorized individuals.
This involves not only educating employees on how to protect confidential data, but also having clear guidelines in place for what should and should not be shared. Make sure employees know who they can contact if they have any questions or concerns about protecting confidential information.
Educate Employees on the Signs of Threats
Another important part of employee cybersecurity training is teaching employees how to spot potential threats. This includes understanding the warning signs of a phishing attack, malware infection, or other type of cybercrime.
Employees should be familiar with what to do if they suspect they've been targeted by a cybercriminal, such as reporting it to their supervisor or IT department. They should also be aware of the resources available to them for help and support, such as the company's cybersecurity hotline.
Consider Third Party Continuing Education
As we've noted a couple times already due to how important this theme is, cybersecurity for a business is never a finished task. It's an ongoing process that must be constantly updated and reinforced.
One way to do this is by regularly bringing in outside experts to provide continuing education for employees. This can include topics such as the latest threats, phishing scams, and how to stay safe online.
It's also important to have a system in place for tracking employee training. This includes keeping track of when employees have been trained and what type of training they've received. This will help you ensure that everyone is up to date on the latest cybersecurity threats and best practices.
Look at Specific Examples of Breaches
Whether for companies similar to yours or just some of the most public recent cases of data breaches, it can be helpful to use real-world examples when educating employees on cybersecurity. This will help them better understand the risks and consequences of a data breach.
It's also important to talk about how businesses can bounce back from a data breach. This includes things like crisis management plans and ways to limit the damage done. For instance, if a company in your industry has recently recovered from a data breach, you can use that as a case study to discuss how they managed and what lessons were learned.
If you're unaware of what other companies are doing in terms of data security, there are a number of resources available to you. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a variety of resources on their website, including the Cybersecurity Framework. This can be a great place to start when looking for ways to improve your company's cybersecurity posture.

The methods used by cybercriminals continue to evolve over time, and one that's become of note in recent years is known as the cyber kill chain. Referring to an issue where hackers break into systems using a tiered format, cyber kill chains can be devastating for organizations if they're successful -- but the right precautions will protect you against these and similar risks.
At Onward Technology, these and other cybersecurity risks are just some of those we help protect you against with our quality IT support and managed IT solutions, which include addressing these kinds of threats proactively to prevent against them. Here's a primer on what a cyber kill chain is, plus some simple recommendations for protecting against it.
Cyber Kill Chain Basics
Generally speaking, a cyber kill chain involves a "chain" of actions a hacker will take during their attack. Typically, this will happen over three phases:
Breaking in: Often in a way that's unnoticeable to the user, hackers will break into the system. This will often be done via email, where malicious attachments or links are sent that exploit vulnerabilities in the system, or by "password guessing," where a hacker tries to find passwords that can be used to break into an account on the system.
Investigating: Once a hacker is inside the system, they familiarize themselves with the environment they're in. During this reconnaissance phase, hackers will make a note of all existing accounts and information that can be accessed with ease. This makes it easier for them to exploit their access once they finally begin the attack phase.
Executing: In this phase, hackers will execute their attack. They will often utilize ransomware to do so, encrypting information in the system and then holding it with a key. The hacker will then typically demand a ransom for this key, with prices varying greatly depending on the situation.
Cyber kill chains can impact both individuals and organizations, including on a wide scale. However, some basic steps will protect your company against them.
Security monitoring: It's crucial that you have systems in place for monitoring the goings on of your network at all times. This will help you recognize when hackers are breaking into your system, which means you'll be able to take action against them before they do too much damage.
Firewalls: As hackers begin to investigate your system, it's common for them to probe the network connections of the units they're attempting to break into. Firewalls can help prevent this since they'll limit how much information a hacker can access within the network through doing so.
User education: One of the best ways to protect against cyber kill chains is by training your employees on what they should and should not do in terms of security. This can be as simple as teaching them to never download files from suspicious email attachments, or more complex like instructing them on best practices when it comes to dealing with social engineering threats.
For more on cyber kill chains, managed IT or other security solutions to protect against these and similar threats, speak to the staff at Onward Technology today.
When it comes to business cybersecurity and related solutions used to protect your company, one of the primary goals is preventing data breaches and data loss. Phishing, ransomware and other hacking methods are often undertaken in an effort to breach and steal important areas of data, and this can have multiple negative impacts on your business if it happens.
At Onward Technology, we're proud to provide a wide range of IT support services to clients throughout Utah, including a full suite of network security and related solutions to protect you from data breach and related risks. How will a data breach negatively impact your organization if it takes place, and what are some basic strategies our team will work with you on for preventing such breaches? Here's a primer.
First and foremost, your organization is at risk of major financial costs if a data breach takes place. A single data breach can result in hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars lost, and this is mainly because you'll have to work with various investigative teams to fix the problem and restore access to necessary areas of your network.
This can take months before it's done, so not only will you be out the money spent on the data breach itself, but also the lost productivity and other associated costs. In some cases, you may even be forced to file for bankruptcy due to the sheer magnitude of the financial hit.
There are also several other hidden costs involved here, such as fines, legal fees, public relations, regulatory punitive measures and more. It's not uncommon for organizations that don't properly protect themselves to be fined for data breaches, especially in the case of sensitive data (consider Equifax, which was fined over $700 million in 2019 due to a data breach of user accounts).
Reputational Impact of Data Breaches
Beyond the raw dollars and cents, a significant data breach in your organization risks the strong potential of harming your organization's reputation. This is another major unknown cost, but one that can be very difficult to measure or recover from.
If you're forced to notify customers (or worse -- the general public) that there has been a data breach, this could cause clients to flee your business and avoid your products and services at all costs. It could also lead to a loss of trust in your brand, and this can be very difficult to rebuild. In some cases, data breaches have even led to the closure of businesses altogether, largely due to the fact that major chunks of their customer base fled to avoid being compromised.
Loss of Intellectual Property
Furthermore, a major data breach presents the risk of information like product blueprints, business strategies, client lists and more being stolen by nefarious actors. This can lead to a loss of competitive advantage, as your competitors may now have access to the same information that you worked hard to build and protect.
In some cases, this stolen data can even be sold on the black market or used to blackmail your organization into surrendering important areas of data. This can also lead to a loss of intellectual property, which makes this yet another negative cost that's difficult to measure.
Avoiding Common Threats and Data Breaches
To prevent any of the above from happening to your organization, it's vital to protect your business. Here are some of the basic steps involved in doing so, plus how our team will assist you within each of them:
Planning: As part of your basic network setup, you should be taking the time to plan out the different security measures that you'll need to take as a business owner. This should include things like building an awareness program, putting together policies, developing a countermeasure environment and more.
Education: Once your network is set up and secured for basic threats, it's time to educate your employees on how to spot dangers at work. This means teaching them about the common threats you need to be safeguarding against, so they can get used to keeping an eye out for suspicious messages and data.
Training: Once your employees are aware of potential risks (and how to spot them), you'll want to further train them on the types of messages that may contain dangerous links or malware. This will allow them to recognize the signs and avoid clicking on suspicious links or files that could result in a data breach.
Assess weak points: If you're looking to update an existing cybersecurity plan, the primary method here will be to evaluate your weak points. This includes looking at your business processes, endpoints and user behavior to see where you may be most vulnerable to an attack.
Remediate: Once you have an idea of the issues your security setup is facing, you can take several steps to remediate them. This includes everything from better policies and network access to specific countermeasures, checking for viruses and removing malware, etc.
Test new programs: Anytime you've altered your cybersecurity program in any way, it's vital to run basic tests to make sure that your setup now has the coverage it needs to avoid any breaches. These tests may range from simulated phishing attacks to actually breaking into your systems to see what can be accessed.
Continued management: Finally, this should be an ongoing process. You have never "solved" cybersecurity; rather, you should always be looking for ways to continue improving your defenses against constantly-evolving data breach attack attempts.

Sdbot. BRO is a worm with backdoor characteristics that belongs to the Sdbot worm family. This family has the following common characteristics:
It allows hackers to gain remote access to the affected computer in order to carry out actions that compromise user confidentiality and impede the tasks performed.
It uses its own IRC client in order to join an IRC channel and accept remote control commands, such as launching denial of service (DoS) attacks against websites. It can also download and run files on the affected computer.
Worms belonging to the Sdbot family usually employ any of the following means of transmission, among others:
Computer networks: the worm checks if the affected computer belongs to a network. If so, it attempts to access the network shared resources, using passwords that are typical or easy to guess. Then, it makes a copy of itself to those shared resources.
Internet: the worm attacks IP addresses, in which it attempts to exploit several known vulnerabilities, such as LSASS, RPC DCOM, etc.

A household appliance, which may be sitting inside your kitchen cabinet, can now be used as a powerful tool in the fight to control COVID-19. Researchers with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) developed a do-it-yourself solution to decontaminate personal protective equipment (PPE) using a programmable multicooker.
“S&T is thinking creatively during this nationwide crisis,” said William N. Bryan, DHS Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Under Secretary for Science & Technology. “We understand that PPE is not always readily available and are working tirelessly to provide Americans with simple methods to extend the life of this important equipment.”
Personal protective equipment, specifically respiratory protection such as N95 masks, are an effective way to reduce exposure to airborne SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. With high demand resulting in limited supply, S&T focused efforts on finding affordable and easy methods that allow masks to safely be reused.
Evaluating common household devices, researchers identified programmable multicookers as a readily accessible and effective means to decontaminate masks, using moist heat, one of three methods recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Moist heat decontamination is achieved by treating masks with 149°F steam for 30 minutes. Key steps include placing the mask(s) in a paper bag, filling the multicooker with a half inch of water and setting the bag on a rack inside of it. S&T verified these conditions inactivate the virus below detectable limits in culture media and simulated saliva, while the masks still meet performance specifications after five treatments. Further research will determine if the virus is also inactivated in lung fluid, and whether this process is effective for additional treatments.
“Given the significance of this outbreak and importance of respiratory protection for first responders and medical professionals, we’re investigating simple, low-cost means to sanitize potentially contaminated N95 respirators,” said General Biological Scientist Dr. Lloyd Hough, and lead for S&T’s Hazard Awareness & Characterization Technology Center. “We hope front line personnel who need to use them can take advantage of this approach to extend the life of their limited supply of this critical piece of PPE.”
Full instructions, a video, fact sheet and FAQ about the process are available on the S&T website.

This utility does no longer require set up to your laptop, as merely launching its devoted executable permits you to get pleasure from its complete vary of options.
However, sooner than the scanning procedure starts, you want to simply accept the End User License Agreement and make a decision on which elements will have to be integrated within the scan.
Detects more than a few elements
Before you get started the scan, you’ll allow or disable the detection of probably undesirable programs through deciding on the corresponding radio buttons from the “Computer scan settings” segment.
Moreover, if you wish to alter complex choices, you’ll enlarge the “Advanced Settings” menu, the place you’ll allow the detection of probably unsafe or suspicious apps, scan archives, allow Anti-Stealth era and blank threats routinely.
Performs one-time scans
Unlike different identical device answers, ESET Online Scanner does not give you consistent coverage towards more than a few destructive elements. Instead, it allows you to carry out one-time scans so as to stumble on if any suspicious information live to your PC. However, it’s price noting that the scans are thorough and would possibly take some time, relying at the PC you run them on.
After the scan is finished, you’ll blank the recognized pieces through ticking their corresponding checkboxes and hitting the “Clean” button. At the tip of the cleansing procedure, you’ll view a abstract of the carried out operations, in addition to transient statistics that come with the collection of scanned information, what number of inflamed information have been detected and the full scan time.

Many antivirus works nice out of the box, and the working system scans without slowing down other tasks, corresponding to loading webpages or enhancing a document. It appears as if inbuilt to the functional structure, and you can navigate using either the left-hand pane or the drop-down menus along the top.
Antiviruses sometimes need to be turned off to allow validated programs to update or install themselves on the user’s PC.
Avast software is often the reason why the user cannot install the program correctly. For example, it is necessary to establish the essential drivers, video programs, and other applications.
Antiviruses may not recognize the program itself, which makes it impossible to install the program, and you have to try to disable the antivirus software for a while.
To quickly disable antivirus, click the arrow icon on the Windows taskbar because you need to expand the notification area menu. Find the Antivirus icon and proper-click it – a contextual menu will pop-up. Despite this, there are conditions when antivirus software needs to be disabled. For instance, when installing specific programs, an installation app requests that you disable the antivirus software.
The slider below the disabled component turns purple. The element automatically re-permits after your chosen time interval has been handed. You can also re-enable the part manually at any time by following step 1 above, then clicking the red slider, so it immediately turns green. Click OK; stop to confirm that you want to disable all protection. Right-click on the Avast Antivirus system tray icon on your taskbar of Windows, then within the menu that seems click on the green slider after Protection is ON.

I really hope you get this fast. I could not inform anyone about my trip, because it was impromptu. I had to be in Madrid Spain for a program. The program was successful, but my journey has turned sour. I misplaced my wallet on my way back to my hotel after I went for sight seeing. The wallet contained all the valuables I had. Now, my passport is in custody of the hotel management pending when I make payment.
I am sorry if i am inconveniencing you, but i have only very few people to run to now. i will be indeed very grateful if i can get a loan of 2,605 Eur from you. this will enable me sort my hotel bills and get my sorry self back home. I will really appreciate whatever you can afford in assisting me with. I promise to refund it in full as soon as I return. let me know if you can be of any assistance. Please, let me know soonest. Thanks so much.

Normally, one is sympathetic to someone whose computer is hijacked in this way and in whose name, friends and family get reams of malicious spam.
But in this case, Mr Beaven seems to have been hoarding details of people who were not friends, family or contacts: they are people he hounds.
Including the unfortunate stained glass artist from Ipswich who Mr Beaven tried to out, falsely, as "Medawar".
The e-mail lacks the profanity and hate-filled abuse that Medawar normally expects from Mr Beaven, which is partly how it was spotted as a scam.
I meant to tell you when I read this the other day that I got nearly that exact email from a guy who I KNOW is part of an illegal/illicit/criminal/sinister home-healthcare establishment. He's evil. His face and "smile" are evil. He's a terrible human being and that sums up what I know of him other than I met him protesting the Iraq War in downtown st pete baywalk. Very briefly. He never had my email address. Suddenly he began "appearing" places. As I turned corners, at the library as I studied or lived, kinda camped out there for a time due to the awfulness of our home which WE OWN and PAY FOR but I have now fixed all of that. (most of it LOL I am talking of things which were causing health concerns and property damage they had done) .. okay so mauricio sent me this email purposefully asking for help as he had no other way of having my email other than acquiring it for nefarious purposes. SOOO he then whoosh disappeared. Perhaps to further the idea he was "trapped outside the country?" LOL As a former banker I've seen it all so um. yeah. At any rate, he made a reappearance in due time, 14 days or so and though in the past he merely meandered about and left even if he did not make an excuse to approach me THIS TIME he made a beeline. He thought I was going to ask him about that email. Never said a word. Never saw him again. What an ASS.
I liken this to people who rob you or use you on the street. A smart peson knows never to reach in their pocket. (got a light? a quarter? what time is it?) All various ploys to start their rap of bullshit.
Hope your Holiday season was and is well. Thank you for the pleasurable and informative read. I am in your debt (tampa)
Spanish Prosecutors are empowered to pursue human rights cases committed in other countries, if the culprit enters Spanish jurisdiction and is unlikely to be prosecuted in the country where the crime happened.
In the UK, the attitude of Crown Prosecutors is largely irrelevant, because of the right to bring private criminal prosecutions as well as civil lawsuits.
There are some important civil rights defects in Spanish law, though: defendants extradited under European Arrest warrants have found themselves in Spanish jails for up to 18 months and then released without explanation, without ever actually being charged with the crime on the extradition warrant. They cannot sue for malicious prosecution, because the charge was never brought.
So, relying on Spain to guarantee your basic rights is a bit of a gamble.
While we're on the subject, don't, for pity's sake, seek justice in a Cypriot or Greek court if you have any alternative at all.
I am going to try to read more about this. (above)
Thank you for your answer. I know during the never-ending BUSH years the PDA (Progressive Democrats of America) had high hopes of bringing charges against him in spain and at one point got somewhere, then they also got close with cheney and he for war-crimes. I am over-simplifying this, I know.
We're at our wits end as we can't handle our own criminals ...
I had hopes for the Hague but ... while I refuse to give up hope, we really need to force OUR OWN government in each country we reside in to take the criminals in hand. They won't; they simply won't do a thing.
And here we go with another election ... a guy called Shitt Mitt four years ago (for good reason) and a guy who was dead to the republican party four years ago and seemingly right up til ten minutes ago are suddenly breathlessly interesting. GAD !
And idiots somewhere will actually cast votes for them.

Yayzap is an application users have to install on their computers if they wish to play games available at yayzap.com. Users immediately find the following text once they enter the aforementioned website: “YayZap offers free games in exchange for an agreement to install our software and receive advertising.” Yes, the software yayzap.com requires installing on the system is a typical advertising-supported application, which means that you agree to see tons of commercial advertisements on your screen by installing it on your system. Of course, in some cases, users find this software on their computers but are sure that they have not installed it willingly. We believe them because we know that this adware might sneak onto computers without permission as well. To be frank, it is advisable to remove an ad-supported program from the system no matter it has sneaked onto the computer without permission or you have downloaded it yourself because adware programs are not only quite irritating, but might also put systems in danger, so they should not be kept installed.
Research has shown that Yayzap is the most popular among users living in the USA at the time of writing. We understand those people who wish to play online games free of charge; however, we also want users to know that it is not worth keeping an untrustworthy program that might cause harm to the system just because it grants the access to games. There are two reasons we suggest that you get rid of an ad-supported program. First of all, it is clear that this program might start showing pop-up, pop-under, transitional, and in-text ads as well as banners. It seems that only Internet Explorer users will see them because this program is compatible with this browser only. If your default browser is Internet Explorer and you have started seeing ads with the Yayzap label, you can be sure that adware is installed on your computer. These ads might not seem dangerous at all at first glance; however, you still risk infecting your PC with malicious software by clicking on them because they might have bad links inside them and, as a consequence, you might be taken to an untrustworthy website. Yayzap screenshot
Scroll down for full removal instructions
Our team of specialists says that Yayzap cannot be trusted fully because it is interested in what users do on the web, and it is unclear why it needs this information too. We have checked the Privacy Policy for you and found that it is going to gather two types of information. First of all, it is said that it might collect “information that can identify you as a specific individual,” e.g. name and email address. Secondly, it will automatically collect non-personally identifiable information. It is the most interested in such details as the operating system, type of browser, geographic location, and pages viewed. This information might tell much about your interests as well, so if you decide that you do not want to reveal this information to anyone, you need to remove Yayzap from your PC as soon as possible. Once you do that, you will no longer see its folder in %LOCALAPPDATA% and %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data.
It will not be easy, but you should take all the necessary measures to protect your computer from adware and other much more serious infections that might want to enter your computer in the future. As our research has shown, ad-supported programs often travel in software bundles and thus enter computers rather secretly. Also, they might be installed once you click on some kind of commercial advertisement. You need to be very careful with new applications, and it would be clever not click on all the ads you come across on the web. Finally, we suggest installing security software on the computer as well.
Yayzap has an uninstaller so can be removed easily. Of course, you might still find this rather complicated if you have never done that before, so we suggest using our manual removal instructions in such a case. In case you do not like the manual method or you still cannot remove the adware from your PC for any reason using our removal guide, you should definitely use an automatic malware remover, e.g. SpyHunter.

Solar panels are starting to pop up on rooftops all over residential and commercial properties around the country, promising to dramatically save energy costs and provide users with a renewable energy source. However with the fast growth of solar panel installation and use comes an increased need to manage the risks of solar power generation. Omnisure explains the potential threats solar panels present to property owners – the most significant of which is fire.
How roof mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) systems work.
Solar panels are complex electrical systems that introduce a new electrical source and new combustible materials to a building. In other words, solar PV systems introduce a secondary source of electricity supply to the building they are attached to. A grid connected solar PV system will feed energy to an inverter which will then feed the electricity to the main electricity grid of the property.
These days, most solar panels are installed alongside a lithium-ion battery storage unit (for example, a TESLA battery), allowing energy that is generated from the solar PV system to be stored in the battery unit. Once the battery is fully charged, any excess energy is then fed back into the grid.
The risk of electrical fire.
Because a solar system introduces a secondary electrical system by its nature, emergency services are at risk of electric shock even when the mains power supply is switched off when they respond to a fire. This is because the solar system continues to generate energy from sunshine, street lamps, and any other source of light.
In addition to this, a battery storage unit, if exposed to high temperatures such as in the event of a fire, can discharge combustible fumes, causing further fire or possibly an explosion.
Solar systems will also increase the risk of combustion of a roof because the panels contain a significant amount of plastic. Also, their physical formation across a roof can encourage a fire to spread horizontally across a roof by tracking underneath the panels, meaning that a fire will spread more rapidly.
“Electrical fires are one of the most common causes of loss in general, and many solar installations are put on roofs of buildings which aren’t necessarily designed with that type of risk in mind”. – Schalk Van Der Merwe, Director of Omnisure.
My property has solar panels. How can I manage my risks?
Property owners and their insurance brokers need to be aware of the fire risk imposed by solar systems. Any solar panels that are installed should be done so with consideration as to how they add weight and fire load to a roof. Here are a few things property owners who have solar can do to manage their risk of electrical fire:
Work with reputable company that understands the above risks can often offer risk-management solutions.
Clearly identify the dual power supply should emergency services need to come onto your property.
Provide safe roof level access for emergency services.
Tell your broker should you have recently installed solar panels and have not had your home and contents insurance updated. While most insurers will not require you to specify that you have solar panels, you may need to increase your building sum insured to ensure your building is properly covered.
The rapid pace of solar power construction is expected to continue. It is after all a fantastic technology that will grow and change with time, knowledge and new technologies. If you need to update your current home and contents insurance, or have a question you would like answered by one of our expert brokers, we would love to hear from you. Please give us a call on (02) 9959 2900, email [email protected], or contact us via our website here.
“Installation of solar panels on a roof can be done safely, but it has to be installed right” – Schalk Van Der Merwe.

Israeli cyber startups notched a very profitable year in 2015 and this upcoming year’s cyber arena looks ripe for even further growth. According to a new report, Israel exported at least $3 billion worth of products and services last year.
Israel Export Institute figures show that Israel is a cyber superpower. New cyber technology startups – being formed and making exits – proves the country’s stronghold in the global cyber arena.
In fact, state leaders and international cyber experts are heading over to Israel for the January 26-27 CyberTech in Israel convention.
Hundreds of delegations from across the globe will attend CyberTech — the second largest exhibition of cyber technologies worldwide — including a large delegation from Japan, a US delegation led by the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, a delegation from developing countries organized by the World Bank, as well as a Canadian delegation comprising senior executives of Canada’s central banks.
Also on the guest list: delegations from Germany, the UK, Italy, Holland, France, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, South Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Kenya, South Africa, Ecuador, Panama, Guatemala, Colombia, Sweden, Ireland, Spain, Czech Republic, Romania, Albania, Estonia, the EU and NATO.
The delegation from Japan includes a group looking for suitable technologies to secure the Tokyo Olympics 2020 from potential cyber threats.
Israel Aerospace is leading a consortium of Israeli cyber security companies – including Check Point Software Technologies, Verint Systems, Bynet, ClearSky, CyberX, and ECI Telecom – that are hoping to attract Japanese interest with a special exhibit at CyberTech.
The CyberTech event will allow B2B, startups, investors, government officials, military personnel, ambassadors and exhibition visitors to focus on networking, strengthening existing alliances, and forming new ones.
CyberTech presents problem solving strategies and solutions to challenges in a wide range of sectors including finance, defense, transportation, utilities, R&D, energy, manufacturing, service sectors, health, media, and government.

Because fraud knows no boundaries, banking institutions worldwide now deploy new layered security controls to authenticate online transactions.
In the U.S., the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) has issued authentication guidance that specifically lists out-of-band verification among recommended security controls. As the FFIEC details in its guidance: "Out-of-band authentication means that a transaction that is initiated via one delivery channel [e.g., Internet] must be re-authenticated or verified via an independent delivery channel [e.g., telephone] in order for the transaction to be completed. Out-of-band authentication is becoming more popular given that customer PCs are increasingly vulnerable to malware attacks. However, out-of-band authentication directed to or input through the same device that initiates the transaction may not be effective since that device may have been compromised."
With mobile technology, institutions can instantly verify user ID by sending out confirmation messages to the account holder via text message or mobile app -- an out-of-band authentication solution that users two devices, two channels.
But mobile has uses beyond authentication, says Tom Wills, global banking/security strategist. Mobile is also an effective tool for transaction verification and for issuing customer alerts. And as an out-of-band security control, it falls within the FFIEC's recommendations for methods to help detect and prevent fraudulent ACH/wire transactions.

The CCNA network administration certification is valid for three years, after which time systems administrators need to renew their qualifications to troubleshoot and configure switched and routed networks. This may also include implementation of data-communications software, via remote internet access using either WAN or WiFi networks.
Computer network architects usually need at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, engineering, or a related field. Degree programs in a computer-related field give network architects hands-on laboratory work in classes such as network security or database design. According to the US Department of Labor, the average salary increase after a CCNA certification is around 20%, and the median annual wage for network and computer systems administrators was $77,810 as of May 2017. Beyond major requirements within the network administration (CCNA) department, you may consider Darton State College AP tests as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.
Salary Program
As a general rule, questions about salary and benefits are best left until a job offer has been made. If you receive an offer on the spot but are not ready to accept, simply thank the company representative for their decision, and request a few days to think over their offer. Since they have indicated that they value you as a job candidate, you may be able to negotiate a better salary simply by waiting. Ask for written confirmation of the job offer, and tell the firm when you will make a decision. In order to complete the salary program, Millsaps College app download information may be used in order to fulfill computing breadth requirements.
Gather as much factual information as you can from other employees, before deciding on what salary request you want to make. Always begin by expressing genuine interest in the position and the organization, and offering to compromise on other areas, such as longer hours and travel. Be prepared to defend your reasons for wanting to improve their offer with meaningful, work-related benefits to the employer. Requesting a salary increase just because you are a fast learner, or have a high GPA, aren't justifiable reasons alone. You need to have past work experience or internships that have demonstrated professional skills. Alternatively, focusing on business study via Rollins College tax planner, for example, can help you find a rewarding position in corporate consulting services.
Technical programs are a low-cost alternative to attending a regular four-year university, and you can earn good money as a highly-skilled, technical specialist. By remaining true to your career interests, your overall job earnings will increase as you gain experience. If you're currently employed in a technical field, you may consider Tunxis Community College space science as an option to advance your career. Massive open online courses are known as MOOCs, utilizing interactive platforms such as Blackboard, and mobile apps. For example, Khan Academy now offers free lecture videos served through YouTube. Then there's Pikes Peak Community College information technology, with enrolled students from around the world.
Most colleges accept either the SAT or ACT, and have formulas for converting raw test scores. ACT test questions are geared towards advanced high school math courses, while the SAT test is a better choice for students with an excellent vocabulary and English skills in general. Other college admissions information sources, like Columbia International University interviewing, promote the use of standardized tests in admissions decisions because there are substantial differences in course requirements, high school GPA, and grade curve difficulty among US schools. You can also explore Mott Community College major list, in order to further target your academic interests.
Higher education is undergoing major changes, with colleges and universities adopting online learning methods and offering open classes online. High school grades are the single most important factor in gaining admission to the college of your choice, along with letters of recommendation and test scores. According to data on UC Boulder admissions cost pages, an ideal academic record consists of a high GPA in courses of progressive difficulty. About half of colleges use placement tests and a waiting list, and many community colleges have transfer agreements in place with bachelor's degree programs at four-year universities. You may compare Emory University graduate certificates with other schools that you're considering.
Financial Aid Information
Government scholarship programs and Pell grants only account for a third of total financial aid awarded in the US. Student loans, work-study earnings, and personal or family savings make up the remaining two-thirds. Please make use of student aid calculators online, to see if you qualify for need-based financial aid or a fee waiver. In fact, millions of students that would have qualified for some financial aid were late in submitting required application forms. Please note that the official FAFSA website is fafsa.ed.gov and is free to use. Filing taxes early is recommended, but using estimates for FAFSA from previous years is possible as long as the correct data is updated later.
Academic and athletic scholarships are highly competitive, and are usually awarded either by the admissions office directly, or through individual departmental awards. Most private loan programs are hinged to a financial index, such as the BBA LIBOR Rate, plus an overhead charge. Financial aid may be administered via Austin Peay State University scholarship application or through academic departments. Alternatively, student credit cards may seem like a good short-term solution, but the interest rates are high, and credit cards often carry an annual fee. Peterson's Scholarship search database is drawn from Peterson's college guidebooks, developed over many years. Trade unions may offer academic scholarships and other financial assistance for students of union members.
As the economy improves, many consulting firms are hiring additional finance department personnel. Whether you are an experienced accountant with a CPA degree, or a recent business school graduate, you can seek a new position. Jobs for financial accountants are always in demand, and fields such as actuarial science and cost-accounting are some of the fastest growing business management occupations. Finding out about Jacksonville State University economics classes online, on the other hand, may broaden your education in order to appeal to a wider variety of employers.
Hiring managers typically post available positions on targeted job boards, which are sampled daily. Texas Lutheran University Federal work study program information may be available through the human resources department.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 12 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama is expected to announce an executive order directing the government and companies to share more information about cybersecurity threats in response to attacks like that on Sony Entertainment.
As in other policy areas where Obama has been unable to get legislation through the now Republican-controlled Congress, the White House is turning to more limited administrative actions to advance its agenda as much as it can.
The announcement could be tonight or tomorrow, when the U.S. president speaks at a daylong conference on cybersecurity at Stanford University in the heart of Silicon Valley, according to three participants in the conference.
The move comes as big Silicon Valley companies prove hesitant to fully support more mandated cybersecurity information sharing without reforms to government surveillance practices exposed by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.
“We are certainly hearing that an executive order may be announced,” Nuala O‘Connor, president of the technology lobbying group Center for Democracy & Technology, said as she boarded a plane en route to the event.
A new government center for cybersecurity, announced earlier this week by Obama’s top homeland security advisor, could play a key role in the process. But the Stanford attendees said they did not have details.
The White House declined to comment.
Cybersecurity industry veterans said Obama’s anticipated order would be only a modest step in one of the president’s major priorities - the defense of companies from attacks like those on Sony and Anthem Inc.
Administration officials have said they would prefer legislation that would require more information sharing and limit any legal liability for companies that share too much. They have said that an executive order could not limit liability.
But getting anything through Congress on the subject has proven a daunting task. That is unlikely to get much better without at least the support of big Silicon Valley companies such as Google Inc and Facebook Inc.
Those companies, however, have refused to give full-throated support to cybersecurity bills without some reform of surveillance practices exposed by Snowden that have hurt U.S. technology companies’ efforts to win business in other countries.
No grand bargain between the administration and the Valley companies has been reached, according to O‘Connor and an executive at a major technology company.
For that reason, and the fact they have not seen the text of the planned executive order, top companies Google, Facebook and Yahoo are not sending their chief executives to the Stanford conference, the executive said. Apple Inc Chief Executive Tim Cook is one of the few household names that is speaking, and that company declined to comment.
In a private meeting with Obama Friday, though, some of the leading executives are expected to press again for surveillance reform and support for strong encryption, which some in the administration have faulted recently on the grounds that it enables criminals and terrorists to hide their activity.
Big technology companies and a host of startups have been beefing up encryption in Snowden’s wake to make blanket intelligence collection overseas more difficult.

An employee’s “alarm bells” should go off whenever they are called upon by their manager to just “quickly do something – it won’t take more than a few minutes” and forego the usual risk assessment or protective equipment.
Even in today’s more health and safety conscious workplaces, accident compensation solicitors are still frequently asked for accident claims to be made against companies who were negligent on at least one or more occasions where there was lack of training or personal protective equipment (PPE) supplied.
• Lungs, e.g. from breathing in contaminated air • Head and Feet, e.g. from falling materials • Eyes, e.g. from flying particles or splashes of corrosive liquids • Skin, e.g. from contact with corrosive materials • Body, e.g. from extremes of heat or cold
Working with paints, oils, chemicals, solvents, and other potentially toxic agents, which can release noxious fumes or airborne contaminants, all require their own different types of breathing masks or respirators. This means that some respirators rely on filtering contaminants from the surrounding air, such as simple filtering facemasks, while other types are power-assisted respirators.
Correct air filter
The correct type of respirator filter must be used as each is effective for only a restrictive range of substances and filters have only a limited life. Where there is a shortage of oxygen or any danger of losing consciousness due to exposure to high levels of harmful fumes, breathing apparatus must be used and not a filtering cartridge.
According to the HSE, between 2010-11, an estimated 30,000 workers reported breathing / lung problems caused or made worse by their work.

U.K. authorities have hit Facebook with the highest possible punishment for its Cambridge Analytica data breach, ordering the social media empire to pay £500,000 ($645,000).
The U.K.’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the country’s privacy watchdog, said Facebook is responsible for “serious breaches of data protection” that allowed the personal data of more than 87 million Facebook users to fall into the hands of Cambridge Analytica, a data harvester with links to former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and other right-wing extremists.
“A company of its size and expertise should have known better and it should have done better,” said information commissioner Elizabeth Denham in an Oct. 25 announcement.
The ICO’s investigation found that between 2007 and 2014, Facebook processed the personal information of users unfairly by allowing application developers access to their information without sufficiently clear and informed consent.
But not only did Facebook permit app developers to access the personal data of app users, it also let them access the data of all the app users’ friends, even if they hadn’t downloaded the app.
Facebook also failed to keep the personal information of its users secure because it failed to make suitable checks on apps and developers using its platform, the ICO said.
“These failings meant one developer, Dr. Aleksandr Kogan, and his company GSR harvested the Facebook data of up to 87 million people worldwide, without their knowledge. A subset of this data was later shared with other organisations, including SCL Group, the parent company of Cambridge Analytica who were involved in political campaigning in the US,” the ICO said.
Facebook became aware that the data of its users was being collected and misused in December 2015 but its response to the problem was slow and ineffective
Even after Facebook discovered the data misuse in December 2015, it did not do enough to ensure that Cambridge Analytica and other companies the data went out to had taken proper medial action, including deleting the data. In fact, Facebook did not suspend Cambridge Analytica from its platform until 2018.
“We considered these contraventions to be so serious we imposed the maximum penalty under the previous legislation. The fine would inevitably have been significantly higher under the GDPR,” Commissioner Denham said, referring to the EU’s General Data Protection Regulations, which were not in place at the time.
The GDPR allows regulators to fine companies up to four percent of their total revenues. Such a fine would have amounted to as much as $1.6 billion under the new rule.
“We are currently reviewing the ICO’s decision. While we respectfully disagree with some of their findings, we have said before that we should have done more to investigate claims about Cambridge Analytica and taken action in 2015,” Facebook said in a statement about the small but symbolic fine, which it could appeal.
Facebook said that now that the UK investigation is complete, “we are hopeful that the ICO will now let us have access to [Cambridge Analytica] servers so that we are able to audit the data they received.”

About 1.3 billion people use one or other version of Microsoft's Windows operating systems, and well over a billion have downloaded Mozilla's Firefox web browser. Minor variations aside, every copy of these products--like all other mass-market software--has exactly the same bits in it.
This makes such software a honeypot for hackers, who can write attack code that will cause precisely the same damage to, say, every copy of Windows 7 it infects. Worse, the bad guys can hone their attacks by practising on their own machines, confident that what they see will be what their victims get.
This computing monoculture--which also extends to the widespread use of particular pieces of hardware, such as microprocessors from Intel and ARM--has long been the bane of technologists. In the face of a near constant onslaught from hackers, antivirus software is frequently several steps behind the foe.
Symantec, one of the commercial pioneers of online security, estimates that antivirus software now stops only 45% of attacks. The firm recently declared that this approach was "dead" and a new one was needed.
Michael Franz, a computer scientist at the University of California, Irvine, agrees. And he believes the answer is to learn from nature. Lots of species are composed of individuals which are, the occasional set of identical twins apart, all slightly different genetically from each other.
Sexual reproduction ensures this. Indeed, it is probably the reason sex evolved in the first place, for it means that no bacterium or virus can wipe out an entire population, since some are almost certain to be genetically immune to any given pathogen.
Applying the idea of genetic diversity to software is not a new idea. High-security systems, such as the fly-by-wire programs used in aeroplanes, are designed from the outset with code that differs between installations. But this approach is too costly for large-scale use.
Some mass-market software companies have instead introduced modest diversity to deter attackers, such as randomly choosing the starting addresses of big blocks of memory, but this is not enough to defeat a determined hacker.
Dr Franz is therefore taking a novel approach by tweaking the programs, called compilers, that convert applications written in languages such as C++ and Java into the machine code employed by a computer's processor. Most compilers are designed to optimise things such as the speed of the resulting machine code. That leads to a single answer.
Dr Franz's "multicompiler" trades a bit of this optimality for diversity in the compiled code. This leeway, which diminishes the code's speed of execution by an amount imperceptible to the user, enables a multicompiler to create billions of different, but functionally identical, interpretations of the original program.
When a user requests a specific application from a cloud-based "app store", the appropriate multicompiler in the store generates a unique version for him, thus making a hacker's task nigh impossible.
Dr Franz has already built a prototype that can diversify programs such as Firefox and Apache Linux. Test attacks designed to take over computers running the resulting machine code always failed. The worst thing that happened was that the attack crashed the target machine, requiring a reboot. The rest of the time it simply had no perceptible effect.
Dr Franz puts the chance of a hacker successfully penetrating one of his randomised application programs at about one in a billion. No doubt these odds would shorten if his approach were taken up widely, for hackers are endlessly ingenious.
But at the moment they mean that, if his system of multicompilers were used universally, any given hack would affect but a handful of the machines existing on the entire planet.

Patrick Wardle demonstrated how to create a more effecting malware for OS X.
Apple technology is considered by many to be a lot more secure than other products, but that may not be the case.
In a jam-packed Wednesday session at Black Hat USA 2015 in Las Vegas, Patrick Wardle, director of research with Synack, explained that the current state of OS X malware is pretty mediocre, but has the potential to be a whole lot better.
Wardle kicked off the session discussing currently available malware, such as OSX/XSLCmd, OSX/iWorm, and OSX/WireLurker. He said that these threats show up as processes on the system and are therefore not very sophisticated, but he noted that OSX/WireLurker is slightly more interesting because it can infect iOS.
“Security conscious users,” those who do not click on emails and who frequently update and patch, “are probably going to be fine” against these types of threats, Wardle said, adding that the grade he gives current OS X malware is C+ since it is easy to detect and prevent.
In the quest to create a more sophisticated OS X threat, Wardle pointed to defensive mechanisms such as Gatekeeper, XProtect and the OS X sandbox when he said that “a few things are going to prevent this from being successful.”
But Wardle found a way around them all - he explained that Gatekeeper only verifies the app bundle and will simply protect users who think a fake installer is real; that XProtect does a decent job blocking known malware, but is trivial to bypass; and that with new sandbox escapes being identified, “I really don't think this is an obstacle for any advanced adversaries.”
While Wardle said that all of the bypasses require root, he added that obtaining it is not that complicated.
Additionally, Wardle noted that OS X malware authors should consider better self-defense techniques, including encrypting the malware and making the malware harder to delete. He added that detecting detections is also a “great early warning system,” and can be done by registering the hash with Google AdWords.
In his research, Wardle said he installed all available OS X security products - such as Norton and Avast - and none of them detected his malware. He pointed to free tools such as KnockKnock, BlockBlock and TaskExplorer as a better defense options against OS X threats.

Two-factor authentication requires that you not only know your password to log in to a service; you also need access to something else that’s linked to you. Many times, this is a cell phone; that’s precisely how Google’s two-step authentication works.
Apple’s approach requires that you have an iOS device or cell phone handy. To configure two-factor authentication, start by clicking the Manage button on Apple’s account management website. Then, after logging in, click on Password and Security. Be quick! Apple logs you out after just a minute or two.

You may then need to answer your security questions to prove that you’re really you. Then click the Get Started button under the Two-Step Verification section, and click through several screens of information. Apple stresses that it won’t be able to reset your password for you if you enable two-step authentication, and that you’ll always need at least two of the following three things: your password, your recovery key, and a compatible device.
Apple further requires that you change your password before enabling two-step authentication, should it decide that your existing password isn’t secure enough.
Once you’ve gotten this far, you may need to wait. Apple requires that you wait three days before you can finish enabling the two-step process—if you were forced to change your password earlier in the process.
If you don’t get the big time-out sign, you simply follow the remaining steps that Apple’s site presents to confirm your cell phone number.
From then on, when you attempt to log in using your Apple ID, a unique numeric code will be sent to your devices; you’ll in turn need to enter that code to complete the login process.
The recovery key Apple provides is a one-time use mechanism to log in to your account if you somehow lose all your associated iOS devices. Apple recommends that you print the recovery code and store it in one or more safe places. (Once you use it, you can get a new one.)
The advantage of two-step authentication is that it’s far more secure than a simple password alone, as former Macworld staffer and now Wired senior writer Mat Honan can attest: It makes it considerably more complicated for a malicious user to break into your accounts, since they’ll need possession of your device to complete the log in process.

According to Gartner, enterprise spending on information security products and services in India is predicted to reach US$1.7 billion in 2018, an increase of 12.5% from 2017, By 2019, the market is forecast to total US$1.9 billion.
“Continued focus on building detection and response capabilities are bolstering security spending in India,” said Siddharth Deshpande, research director at Gartner. “Highly publicized and high-impact security incidents in India — like the recent incident with Cosmos Bank — reinforce the need for organizations to treat security and risk management as a top business priority,” Deshpande added.
Security incidents often happen because organizations have not paid attention to basic security hygiene best practices. “Continued breaches reinforce the need for chief information officers (CIOs) and chief information security officers (CISOs) to view sensitive data and IT systems as critical infrastructure and prevent, detect and respond to incidents appropriately,” he continued.
Infrastructure protection (11.7% growth)
Identity and access management (10.9% growth)
Network security equipment (10.3% growth)
Lack of Skills Raising Demand for Security Services
Organizations continue to feel the pressure to find the right people with the right skills to grow their security teams, particularly given the 24/7 nature of security operations functions. These ongoing skills shortages are driving demand for security services, particularly security outsourcing, managed security services and security consulting. The security services market in India will grow from US$885 million in 2018 to US$1 billion in 2019, an increase of 13 percent year on year.
“CISOs are increasingly concerned about the quality of security services currently available, creating an opportunity for new security services providers that can offer higher quality services,” said Mr. Deshpande.
Existing global data privacy regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as well as upcoming national-level regulations like India’s proposed personal data protection bill, are raising awareness of security and risk management issues.
“CISOs are under increasing pressure to ensure their organizations do not become victims of external attackers, while simultaneously maintaining compliance with regulations,” said Mr. Deshpande. “Obtaining funding for security projects has become easier for CISOs today than in the past, due to increased awareness. The challenge is for them to spend the security budget judiciously and improve the security maturity of their organization over time.” “Improving security maturity goes beyond just investments in technology. It requires an appropriate focus on processes and people,” said Mr. Deshpande. “Security and risk management is a critical part of any digital business initiative, with the ultimate goal of driving trust and resilience throughout the organization.” (Image Courtesy:www.blogs.opentext.com)

If like me, you manage one or more Joomla websites, you will no doubt be aware of the sorry lack of user friendly documentation and the appalling lack of a powerful native log facility. This seems to me to be an enormous oversight on the part of the developers however it is possible with a little jiggery pokery to get the information you need.
I noticed recently that there were enormous amounts (1500 per day) of failed login attempts at the default backend URL (site.com/administrator/). This is to be expected of any installation like this however one cannot help but feel uneasy at the incessant minute by minute brute force dictionary attacks rolling by in the log. If your passwords are secure then you'll almost certainly be fine. If your administrator username is anything but admin, you'll be even better. Still I wasn't satisfied and I decided to call in the big guns.
The Information Commissioner's Office today published new guidance for home Wi-Fi security after a YouGov report found that 40% of home users did not understand how to manage the security settings on their networks.
The survey also found that in spite of most ISPs now setting up and installing security on Wi-Fi equipment, 16% of the people surveyed were unsure whether or not they were using a secured network, or were aware they weren't, but didn't give a toss either way.
The new guidance includes information on managing encryption settings and how to think of a secure password. Top tip? Don't use pa55w0rd.
Giving people unsolicited access to your network could reduce connection speed, cause you to exceed data caps, or allow hordes of criminals to use your network for nefarious purposes, said the ICO.
Welcoming the move, D-Link's Chris Davies pointed out that there was no excuse for being caught out.
"There is no doubt that in the past setting up security on wireless networks could be tricky," said Chris. "But this is no longer the case with most wireless products.
"Security can be set up wiin a couple of minutes with no prior technical knowledge required. We've also been working with ISPs to help them ship products to consumers with security pre-configured."
Let's just hope the ICO doesn't start fining home users for data breaches. Or maybe that would be the kick in the butt some of them need?
As IT systems continue to extend across multiple environments, IT security threats and vulnerabilities have likewise continued to evolve.
Whether from the growing insider threat of rogue and unauthorised internal sources, or from the ever increasing number of external attacks, organisations are more susceptible than ever to crippling attacks. It's almost become simply a matter of "when it will happen" rather than "if it will happen."
For IT resellers, security issues have always persisted as critical to all communications for an organisation's IT department.
However, with the increase in the levels of access to a company's network compounded by these maturing threats, it is no longer feasible to merely recognise the existence of more simplistic, perimeter threats.
Resellers must be able to provide customers with a comprehensive risk assessment of the entirety of an organisation's IT assets to their vulnerabilities--inclusive of both software and hardware.
This risk assessment must incorporate an understanding of external threats and internal vulnerabilities and how the two continue to merge to create increasingly susceptible IT environments.
At the most basic level, organisations and resellers alike must understand the different types of threats. Malware, a generic term for malicious software, such as trojan horses, worms, and viruses, is the most common form of attack that is originated by an external hacker. Malware attacks have persisted for years - from the infamous Morris worm to common spyware attacks - and they remain the easiest and most damaging tactic deployed by malicious hackers.
With enterprises extending to the cloud, and more organisations adopting SaaS-based applications, social media and other Web 2.0 tools, damaging malware attacks and viruses can now originate through simple SPAM messages and emails.
Internally, organisations are typically susceptible to threats from either authorised rogue users who abuse privileged accounts and identities to access sensitive information, or unauthorised users who use their knowledge of administrative credentials to subvert security systems. It is this type of vulnerability - unauthorised internal access - that has continued to emerge as the most volatile and disruptive.
To truly understand the risks involved with these "insider threats", organisations and resellers need to understand the root of the vulnerabilities.
Most commonly, the risks lie with the use of embedded credentials, most notably hard coded passwords, a practice employed by software developers to provide access to administrators during the development process. The practice occurs frequently since application developers tend to be more focused on the development and release cycle of the application, rather than any security concerns. While it may appear harmless at first glance, it is extremely risky as it can potentially provide unauthorised users with powerful, complete access to IT systems.
To compound the matter, by hardcoding passwords to cover embedded credentials, vendors create a problem that cannot be easily fixed nor assuaged by tools such as Privileged Identity Management systems. Once embedded into an application, the passwords cannot be removed without damaging the system. At the end of the day, the passwords provide malicious outsiders with a bulls eye target - a key vulnerability to leverage to help them gain powerful access and control on a target device, and potentially throughout the entire organisation.
One of the most well known examples is the Stuxnet virus. We've all been blown away by the design of Stuxnet, and were surprised by the pathway the virus took in targeting SCADA systems. Reflection shows that the virus used the hard coded password vulnerability to target these systems - which should serve as a lesson for all businesses.
The existence of vulnerabilities embedded within these types of systems is not necessarily new, but the emergence of new threats continues to shed light on the ease with which they can be leveraged for an attack. While malicious outsiders and insiders have focused often on the administrative credentials on typical systems like servers, databases and the like, in reality, IT organisations need to identify every asset that has a microprocessor, memory or an application/process. From copiers to scanners, these devices all have similar embedded credentials that represent significant organisational vulnerabilities.
While steps can be taken to proactively manage embedded credentials without hardcoding them in the first place - Privileged Identity Management tools can help - the onus is on the organisation, and the reseller, to ensure that a holistic view of all vulnerabilities and risks has been taken.
DHCP snooping is a DHCP feature that provides security by filtering untrusted DHCP messages from hosts or other devices on the network. DHCP snooping accomplishes this level of security by building and maintaining a DHCP snooping binding table.
An untrusted DHCP message is a DHCP message that the switch receives from outside the network or firewall or from an unauthorised DHCP server that can cause security attacks within a network. DHCP snooping is used along with the interface tracking feature, which inserts option 82 in the DHCP messages by the switch. Option 82 is the Relay Agent Information Option as described in RFC 3046.
The use of DHCP snooping extends existing security capabilities, including the capability to trust a port as a DHCP server and prevent unauthorised DHCP server responses from untrusted access ports. Another DHCP snooping supported feature is per-port DHCP message rate limiting, which is configurable in packets per second (pps) and is used to prevent DoS attacks. The DHCP snooping feature is useful in ISP networks, university campuses and Long Range Ethernet (LRE) network scenarios to prevent misconfigured or malicious DHCP servers from causing user-connectivity problems (such as giving out bogus DHCP addresses).
DHCP snooping builds a DHCP binding table that contains client IP addresses, MAC addresses, ports, VLAN numbers, leases and binding types. Switches support the enabling of the DHCP snooping feature on a per VLAN basis. With this feature the switch intercepts all DHCP messages within the layer 2 VLAN domain. With option 82 enabled, the Supervisor Engine adds the ingress module, port, VLAN and switch MAC address to the packet before forwarding the DHCP request to the DHCP server. The DHCP server can track the IP address that it assigns from the DHCP pool.
With this feature the switch restricts end-user ports (untrusted ports) to sending only DHCP requests, while all other types of DHCP traffic, such as DHCP offer responses, are dropped by the switch. DHCP snooping trusted ports are the ones connected to the known DHCP servers or uplink ports to the distribution switch that provide the path to the DHCP server. Trusted ports can send and receive any DHCP message . In this manner the switch allows only trusted DHCP serves to give out DHCP addresses via DHCP responses. Therefore this feature prevents users from setting up their own DHCP servers and providing unauthorised addresses.
In summary, DHCP snooping with option 82 provides an excellent mechanism to prevent DHCP DoS attacks or misconfigured clients from causing anomalous behaviour in the network.

Look at a copy of your Return. Contact whomever prepared your tax return last year for a copy. From that return, you’ll be able to see the PIN that was used on the signature line. If you used tax software, you can contact the service provider as they should still have it on file. Alternatively, they may have emailed it to you when you actually filed last year. As such, take a look in your email and see if it is there.
Use the IRS PIN tool. If locating a copy of the return isn’t an option, you can use the IRS PIN Tool to retrive it. It’s a useful and easy to use tool and only requires you to know your basic information (e.g. name, address, date of birth, social security number), along with the filing status used (single, married filing jointly, etc). Then, within seconds (or minutes), the IRS website will provide your the PIN.

In today’s digital age, the best way to capture your target audience’s attention is by providing them with content that’s informative, engaging, and valuable. With approximately 42% of business leaders, security leaders, and IT leaders stating that cyber breaches of their systems have increased since 2020, more and more companies are seeking out cybersecurity solutions. To get noticed, you need to be able to create content for a cybersecurity page that gets found and converts customers.
Once you know how to create content for your cybersecurity website, you’ll be able to attract the attention of a larger audience during a time when cyber threats are at an all-time high. However, before diving into the things you’ll want to consider when creating content, it’s essential to take a moment to understand the two main types of content that are used in cybersecurity marketing.
What Kind of Content Can Be Used in Cybersecurity Marketing?
It’s important to note that there are many ways to approach content for cybersecurity marketing. You can start by creating content for a cybersecurity landing page and a blog.
While the two may seem the same, they’re different approaches to content marketing for cybersecurity.
Creating Content for a Cybersecurity Blog
A cybersecurity blog is a type of content published regularly on your website to educate your target audience and build a reputation for your brand. This material can be broken up into dozens of different categories and verticals to address the specific needs of your ideal customer.
These pieces of content usually consist of short- and long-form content that utilizes images and video to help guide your readers and keep them engaged. Some examples may include:
Landing pages are a must-have for any cybersecurity brand selling a product or service. Landing pages are dedicated pages on your site that offer a single purpose and a call to action to drive visitors to make a purchase, book a call, download a free trial software, etc.
For those in the cybersecurity space, these landing pages are usually product pages that explain the features and benefits of your software. However, they can also be pages for gated content like white papers and case studies.
Creating content for your cybersecurity website is more than just putting out blog posts and/or landing pages. If the goal is to sell a product, you absolutely need to have a mix of landing pages and educational content.
Landing pages give your audience a direct path to your offer, and educational blog posts should provide your audience with high-quality, relevant information on common queries and concerns. When done right, this combination not only provides a solution to their needs but proves to them that you’re a company they can trust with their security needs.
How to Create Content for a Cybersecurity Page: 5 Things to Consider
Creating content for a cybersecurity page is no small feat. You need to consider your target audience, the latest trends in the field, and the overall purpose of the page. It can be daunting, but with a few essential tips and tricks, you can craft content that resonates with your readers and keeps them coming back for more.
Let’s explore five things to consider when creating content for a cybersecurity page.
1. Know Who Your Target Audience Is
You’ve probably been told time and time again that you need to know who your target audience is before you start writing. While it may seem redundant, it’s a point that’s still often overlooked — especially in an industry as diverse as cybersecurity.
The cybersecurity industry is made up of dozens of different verticals, each with its own niche, needs, and problems. When writing content for a cybersecurity page, you need to know precisely who you’re speaking with to ensure that your message is clear and on point. The easiest way to do this is to have a clearly outlined client persona. These personas should be complete enough that you can start writing content with confidence and a sense of purpose.
Doing proper keyword research to ensure you’re touching on relevant topics.
Making sure you’re optimizing visual elements with appropriate meta tags.
Including your keyword research results in your content.
3. Sharing Both Trending and Evergreen Content
You can create a variety of content for your cybersecurity page and have a mix of both trending and evergreen content. Trending content is timely and relevant content, often related to current events or topics in the news.
Evergreen content remains relevant and valuable over time. It’s often related to timeless topics and is less prone to changes in popularity. For example, evergreen topics might include security best practices or how-to guides.
4. Writing Content for Your Readers
Focus on the needs and interests of your readers and develop content that helps them with their cybersecurity needs. Providing easy-to-understand, relevant, and helpful content will help your readers become more informed about cybersecurity and remain engaged with your page.
To keep your audience engaged, you can create relevant content and share it in a personalized content hub. Creating a content matrix that aligns with your buyer personas and addresses relevant content pillars ensures that your content creation efforts deliver the best possible results.
To create content that reaches your target audience, consider tailoring your content to the buyer’s personas and addressing the relevant content pillars. Additionally, creating and sharing images and videos can engage visitors and explain complex topics.

As threat defense experts, Trend Micro has been delivering quarterly security roundup reports for several years now. Each quarter we look back on the previous quarter to highlight the key threats found during that time period. We also review the threat data we collect and analyze from the Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network™ which gives us insights into the trends occurring within the threat landscape. In our Q2’15 report, A Rising Tide: New Hacks Threaten Public Technologies, one of the trends we’ve been seeing for some time now is a lower amount of spam affecting the world. As you can see from the below chart, spam volumes have generally been trending lower since August of 2014.
While this is good news for users I’d like to dive into some of the reasons we may be seeing this lowering trend.
Our threat researchers have been analyzing many of the recent spam campaigns whether they are Cryptoransomware spam runs in Australia, Europe, and North America, or general spam looking to infect individual users. What we’re finding is the spammers today are taking a page out of the playbook of targeted attack (or Advanced Persistent Threats – APTs) campaigns. The threat actors behind targeted attacks will identify who they want to target and limit the number of individuals they will attack. Spammers today have access to the cybercriminal underground markets (Cyber Arms Bazaar) where they can buy email lists to be used in their campaigns. The difference today than before is these lists are much more refined and accurate. In the past, spammers would send their emails to a huge list of email addresses and did not care if they were legitimate addresses or not. Today these lists contain confirmed live email addresses for actual users, versus say email addresses of many honeypots used in the defense of spam. This means they can take a more targeted approach in their spam campaigns and ensure they are hitting real people.
While we cannot predict that spam will continue to drop, we do know that many of the threat actors today are being more and more targeted in their approach to cybercrime and in many cases even though they may not be pushing more threats out, this tactic has allowed them to keep their infection rates just as high as ever. So while spam volume has diminished which on the surface is good, it does not mean that less people are infected as the spammers have been able to be more efficient in their process.
Combatting this trend has required a shift in how messaging-based threats are dealt with. Traditional antispam solutions have struggled to deal with phishing and spearphishing threats and as spam morphs more towards these more effecting infection methods, the addition of advanced threat messaging technologies must be added to these solutions. Trend Micro has been developing and integrating a number of these advanced technologies into our messaging solutions including:

With just about every student using the internet and a computer to complete assignments in school, there is a growing need for antivirus software. By installing this, students can protect themselves from cybercrime and will remain secure when engaging in online activities.
Many universities require students to install this software when they use any device on campus. Here, we take a closer look at the importance of antivirus and how it can help to keep students as well as teachers safe especially if you have an antivirus with VPN.
Why Antivirus is Essential
Any computer system that is not protected by an antivirus software program will be an open door to hackers. Not only can others access your personal information, but your device can be open to viruses that can attack the hard drive and wipe out all information. If your computer is attacked by any virus, there are many things that can happen. You will notice slower operating speeds, files can be damaged or deleted, computer crashes will begin, and you may even have a complete inability to perform tasks or use the internet.
With the latest antivirus software for Windows 10 or Linux, these things can be prevented, allowing students to have full protection as they use the computer for class projects, assignments and even researching for essays or other papers. There are many more great things even a free antivirus can offer. No matter what you are studying in college, be sure to install software that will protect all of your details and your hard work.
Protection from Hackers and Data Thieves
Hackers are well aware that the internet is used quite often at universities, which is why it is essential for antivirus in schools and universities to be used. Data thieves are always on the watch for easy access to data, but this can be eliminated by using private information security measures like antivirus programs.
Hackers will attempt to install malware to a computer without you being aware and this will allow access to files and programs that are stored. Data that is collected can then be used for illegal activities by the hacker. When using any school network, always be sure that there are security measures in place and avoid entering any personal information if you are not using your own personal device. Many students store passwords and account numbers on a computer and this is exactly what hackers are seeking.
Enhanced Web Protection
Students and teachers are quite vulnerable to online attacks since they use computers to complete assignments. A safety website will help to prevent this by analyzing your network first and also keep monitoring your hardware at all times.
Many students also make use of plagiarism checkers online to help them proof papers before submitting them. It is important to ensure you are accessing a trusted site when doing this, as many of these online help resources are pages that contain viruses. The top plagiarism checker by Edubirdie is 100% safe and is one of the leading options for college students writing papers. Other pages and malicious websites can steal information without you even knowing it! Without a good antivirus program, you will be open to attacks.
If you are using a website for help with any assignment, be sure it is proven to be safe and secure. A virus that is installed on a laptop or computer can be a huge problem. When you install the right protection, you can prevent viruses and enhance your safety when accessing any web pages. This will allow you to perform research, check papers, and get additional online help without compromising your safety.
How to Find the Best Antivirus
Teachers and any students studying online will want to make sure they take steps to protect their information and data. Not every antivirus is created equally, so there are things that you will want to look for when making a decision. Students’ personal information safety should always come first and with the best software, you can be sure that you will always be protected online.
Making a decision will start with determining what protection is being offered. The selected software should safeguard you from any viruses as well as any other online threats. This can include malware protection and prevention from scams. These threats can be unsuspected, so having software that will instantly detect them is essential.
You will also want to make sure that real-time prevention and infection removal tools are included. This software should always be on the lookout for threats and should issue instant alerts when something is detected. Features that should be included are:

The Japanese are definitely at the forefront of toilet technology. They've innovated heated seats, bidets, air driers and such, and Lixil has just released a toilet called the Satis that you can even control with an Android app! But there's a problem — anyone can control the toilet with the same app.
The problem seems to be that the password for the My Satis app is a mere four-digits long; an easy challenge for a determined toilet hacker. Via BBC News:
The toilet uses bluetooth to receive instructions via the app, but the Pin code for every model is hardwired to be four zeros (0000), meaning that it cannot be reset and can be activated by any phone with the My Satis app, a report by Trustwave's Spiderlabs information security experts reveals.
"An attacker could simply download the My Satis application and use it to cause the toilet to repeatedly flush, raising the water usage and therefore utility cost to its owner," it says in its report.
"Attackers could [also] cause the unit to unexpectedly open/close the lid, activate bidet or air-dry functions, causing discomfort or distress to [the] user."
Advertisement
Although the hacker would need to be pretty close to said toilet to utilize the Bluetooth controls, security expert Graham Cluley also warns the BBC that a prankster "might be able to trick his neighbours into thinking his toilet is possessed as it squirts water and blows warm air unexpectedly on their intended victim," although if your electronic toilet starts malfunctioning in 2013 and your first thought is that ghosts did it, you have other problems to contend with.
Having used Japanese toilets on more than a few occasions, I can tell you the big issue is not going to be who (or what) is controlling the toilet as it is the bidet function. Those jets can get some serious water pressure, which I presume can also be controlled by the app. I've had my share of surprises, but I can ssure you there are few surprises quite so surprising as being anally powerwashed without warning.

Decades after emerging from under IT’s wing, the cybersecurity profession has matured. Armed with the insight and foresight that only experience can provide; cybersecurity stands at a pivotal point for the industry, organizations and people it serves.
Amid the backdrop of COVID-19, PwC launches it’s latest installment in the Digital Trust Insights series - Global Digital Trust Insights 2021: Cybersecurity comes of age - insights into what’s changing and what’s next in cybersecurity.
The report is gathered from a survey of 3,249 business and technology executives from around the world. The feedback from survey respondents was focused on five key areas: updating cyber strategy, future proofing cyber teams, getting the most out of cyber budgets, investing to level the playing field against attackers, and building resilience.
With 3.5 million cyber security jobs to be filled in 2021 - the one problem plaguing the cybersecurity industry is a lack of skilled workers. Fifty-one percent of executives in the survey said they plan to add full-time cybersecurity personnel over the next year.
The top roles executives are looking to fill: cloud solutions architects 43%, security intelligence 40%, and data analysis 37%.
In a year filled with many “first-evers'' economic, public health, and cyber organizations, saw a surge in intrusions, ransomware, data breaches in health and educational institutions, and phishing. As a result, 40% of the executives surveyed said they plan to increase resilience testing to ensure critical business services will function even if a disruptive cyber event occurs.
The threat outlook for 2021: Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud service providers top the list of ‘very likely’ threats (mentioned by 33%), while cyber attacks on cloud services top the list of threats that will have ‘significantly negative impact’ (reported by 24%).

Recently, the multi-billion dollar cosmetics corporation, Sephora, has been under hot water for data privacy violations. The claim was filed by California’s attorney general Rob Bonta claiming that Sephora allegedly stated on its website that it did not sell consumers’ personal information while they were selling the data and without informing the consumers whose information was purchased by third parties. The complaint also argued that Sephora’s privacy policy was unnecessarily difficult to find and that the brand did not offer its customers an easily accessible opt-out link on the website and shop app.
The company’s point of contention came from the “loose” definition of the word sale under the law, as the CCPA defines the word sale differently from the commonly known denotation. Under the CCPA, “sale” is described as the selling or transferring of a consumer’s personal information through business to business (B2B) or a third party in exchange for monetary compensation or “other valuable consideration.”
The loose translation of what constitutes the selling of consumers’ data under the CCPA creates confusion for businesses, particularly those in the marketing and advertising industries. The State of California recognizes its role in the chaos of these new data privacy and regulation laws and does not require Sephora to admit liability or wrongdoing. However, the beauty corporation is required to pay $1.2M in fines and penalties for violating the CCPA and comply by:

Cloud Security Alliance Names Top 7 Threats To The CloudCSA also teams with IEEE in survey of IT pros on security standards gap for cloud computing SAN FRANCISCO -- RSA Conference 2010 -- The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) here today identified the top seven security threats to cloud computing, covering everything from the nefarious use of the cloud to insecure application programming interfaces.
"This is like the OWASP [Open Web Application Security Project] Top 10 list," says Dennis Hurst, senior application security architect for HP and a founding member of the CSA. "We wanted to develop guidance around cloud security: What things were the big concerns?"
In a related survey, the CSA and IEEE here today also revealed the results of a poll of IT professionals about cloud computing security standards, in which 93 percent said standards are important, and 82 percent said there is an "urgent" need for them.
"It's clear from the survey's findings that enterprises across industries are eager to adopt cloud computing but that it will take security standards development to accelerate cloud adoption on wide scale, largely because of regulatory drivers," said Jim Reavis, founder and executive director of the Cloud Security Alliance.
Close to 45 percent of the respondents said they are involved in cloud computing standards efforts, and 81 percent said they will likely work on the development of cloud security standards in the next 12 months. Standards for data privacy, security, and encryption are at the top of the list, according to the survey.
Meanwhile, the CSA's leading cloud threats -- not in any particular order -- are abuse and nefarious use of cloud computing; insecure application programming interfaces; malicious insiders; shared technology vulnerabilities; data loss/leakage; account, service, and traffic hijacking; and unknown risk profile, according to the CSA's Top Threats to Cloud Computing V1.0 report released here today. The report is based on input from security experts in 29 enterprises, cloud computing providers, and consulting firms.
Besides the obvious abuse potential for the cloud, such as spamming, cloud providers' APIs are also a risk. "You need to trust that an API is secure," Hurst says. "You find out by audits and testing."
Cloud provider employees could also pose a threat. "You need to understand how they vet their employees," he says. And the technology used by the cloud provider itself must be secure, or otherwise "everyone is a target that's using their service," Hurst says.
Data leakage and loss is another worry: The key is understanding how data is transferred and the type of encryption being used, both in transit and at rest, Hurst says. Account hijacking is also a risk. "Because you're in a shared environment, going to a shared data center -- how is that network traffic protected?" he says.
The CSA/IEEE survey, meanwhile, found that the use of public, private, and hybrid cloud computing will increase during the next 12 months, with public cloud services the hottest right now.

Data protection is a growing concern for many small businesses because cyber attacks are increasing, and they might not be prepared to handle them. In 2016, half of small businesses experienced a data breach, and 55% experienced a cyber attack according to a Ponemon Institute study.
These cyber incidents often lead to financial hardship, a damaged reputation and lost business that can be difficult to overcome. Luckily, there are ways to minimize the chances of this happening to you. Start protecting your business from virtual threats by following these eleven cyber security tips.
1. Create strong passwords and update them regularly
While it’s a basic computer security tip, its importance is often underestimated. Updating your network and account passwords on a routine basis is necessary to help prevent hackers and unauthorized people from accessing sensitive information. For example, critical passwords can be unintentionally shared or used by former employees without your permission or knowledge. Changing them lessens the risk.
Cell phones, laptops and financial apps are a few of the many things for which you should update passwords regularly. Many cyber experts recommend a password refresh every four to six weeks. Set a reminder in your calendar.
The longer your passwords are, the more secure they are. It’s best practice to include a mix of letters, numbers and special characters to make it more difficult for hackers to break them. Avoid writing your passwords down or listing them anywhere they could become compromised, like an unsecured file on your phone or laptop. Instead, use password managers that encrypt, store and organize your login information. Also, try to vary your passwords across different platforms.
2. Secure your network
Network security is a fundamental piece of cyber security protection that protects your computers, users and programs from cyber threats and intruders.
There are several measures you can take to secure your network. For example, firewalls can block threats from entering your network, and encryption tools can keep you safe when using your network. Additionally, anti-virus and anti-malware software can scan for suspicious activity and alert you of potential cyber threats.
If possible, set these programs up to automatically update when a new version is available. This will help keep you protected against new and emerging threats without having to remember to make updates.
3. Implement a strict email policy
Phishing and malware are two common cyber threats that are usually distributed via links and attachments in your email. Once clicked, these programs can let a hacker install dangerous software that might block your network access or steal sensitive data, such as credit card information.
A few of the many ways to protect yourself from these threats is to use spam filters and security software and educate employees on how to handle suspicious activity. Also, make it a policy to only connect to your email from a secure network. Logging into a public Wi-Fi network can make it easier for cyber criminals to gain access to your systems and data.
4. Be cautious of external devices
Removable devices like flash drives and external hard drives can contain malware capable of infecting your computer and spreading to other computers on your network. It’s best to avoid plugging any unknown devices into your computer to reduce your risk.
Avoid using portable devices to store or transfer confidential data. If you must, it’s important to immediately delete the file after it’s transferred. This can help minimize your risk if the device is lost. Keep track of these items and lock them in a secure place when they’re not in use.
5. Back up your data
This is a cyber security best practice. Failing to back up your data is risky for several reasons. For example, your storage device could be stolen, or you could be locked out of your network indefinitely by malware.
Saving your data in multiple locations is a smart way to prevent permanent data loss if something goes wrong. Consider using a digital cloud service to back up your files. The “cloud” is online storage and software that’s offered as a service by companies that specialize in maintaining secure networks. This allows you to securely store and access your data from the internet. Cloud storage services also encrypt your data, which makes it safer than many other back up methods.
6. Limit access to sensitive data
Not everyone needs access to your network. Reduce your chance of a data breach by limiting network access only to relevant employees, contractors and vendors. And only give them access to what they need. For example, if you use a payroll program, only give login information to those who work on payroll. Make sure to use different passwords for all programs so people can’t gain access to things they shouldn’t.
When working with a third-party, make sure you encrypt files before sharing and only send what’s relevant. You might want to require them to have their own cyber insurance if they’re handling your confidential data.
7. Consider cyber insurance
Small businesses are often targeted by cyber criminals because they typically lack the time and resources needed to secure their systems or handle suspicious activity. This leaves them especially vulnerable to cyber attacks that can be difficult to overcome on their own.
Many insurance companies recognize the exposure these small business owners face and have developed affordable cyber insurance to fill the gap. It can be customized to their needs and budget. You’ll want to consider coverage especially if you accept credit card transactions, store sensitive data or have online business accounts.
8. Don’t leave your devices unattended
Employee and contractor error accounts for 48% of small business data breaches according to a 2016 Ponemon Institute study. Leaving laptops, cell phones, flash drives and other devices unattended puts your business at risk.
Working from various job sites or public places increases your exposure. Avoid leaving makeshift workspaces, like coffee shops and libraries, without your devices, even if only temporarily. Always store them out of view, and never leave them in high-risk places, like your car.
9. Know your digital footprint
Try doing a simple online search to reveal public information about you and your business. You might be surprised at the results. Cyber criminals use online information to target small businesses, so make sure you remove any unwanted or sensitive material.
Social media profiles, websites, news articles and financial accounts are a few of the many channels you should evaluate. Delete any accounts you no longer use and check your privacy settings on the accounts you keep. Assess your content, photos, customer reviews and forum posts as well.
Continue to monitor your digital presence on a regular basis to keep your business protected.
10. Train your employees and contractors
Educate employees and contractors about online cyber threats and how to protect your data. This includes how to follow safe email practices, report suspicious activity and use computers and external devices safely, to name a few.
Additionally, any personal activity should be kept to their own computers or smart phones. This reduces the risk of a cyber incident coming from their personal devices. Establishing guidelines and holding your employees accountable can help enforce your cyber security policy.
11. Have a cyber plan
An incident response plan is a pre-planned process for handling a cyber incident that can help to reduce costs and damages. Cyber incidents tend to cause anxiety, so planning ahead of time is worth it, whether you’re a sole proprietor or have several employees. Think of it as an investment in your business.
Make sure your plan includes clear procedures so anyone in your business can report an incident. Be sure to list the contact information of both your cyber security vendor and cyber insurance company.
You could face interruptions to your business depending on the severity of a breach. Develop a business continuity plan so your business can operate following a disaster.

This is going to be my first post on this subject. I got interested in it after attending to an informative webinar on Policy based access control with XACML. I am also an amateur in this field and hope to post rich content in the future.
Identity management of organizations has been evolving over the past years. First the authentication for different applications were managed separately. Then it became centralized identity management where many applications in the organization authenticated users from a central user store such as LDAP store. Requirement of allowing or restricting different users to access different resources based on organizational and business rules was also earlier achieved by project based solutions such as Role Based Access Control .and Access Control Lists. Those mechanisms lack the interoperability and flexibility.
Policy based access control (PBAC) can be used instead which allows access rules to be defined as policies and easily updated as the rules change. When the organizations grow larger and when there are many large scale distributed applications accessing resources it is better to have these policies managed at a central location in order to preserve consistency and grant access to users from there. Policy based access control with XACML is increasingly becoming popular as solution to address such requirements.
It is important to note that XACML is a flexible and powerful authorization policy expression language, but not a policy model or concept of its own. PBAC solutions based on XACML has mainly three parts as follows:

Hi, we are using DB2 Express v9.1.200.166 on Windows and have a big problem with data encryption. When a field bigger then 32k is transmited and authentication is set to DATA_ENCRYPTION the following error is produced:
ERROR [58009] [IBM] SQL30020N Execution of the command or SQL statement failed because of a syntax error in the communication data stream that will affect the successful execution of subsequent commands and SQL statements: Reason Code "0x124C"("011D")". SQLSTATE=58009
Everything works fine on smaller fields, or other authentication methods. I checked the fixpacs and there was a similar problem: IY91859: FETCH COULD HIT -902 IF DATA_ENCRYPT IS ON AGAINST Z/OS OR LUW SERVER This should have been fixed in fix pack 1 but i still get this error. Did anybody have any similar problems?

This training will take place over 4 days, allowing a full day for the CTF and an additional case study on how to secure ICS.
You will perform a lot of lab sessions, including: programming a PLC in ladder logic, analyzing network captures of ICS protocols, perform Modbus (serial & tcp) requests, using Metasploit to compromise a Windows host and gather sensitive information from an Active Directory, and much more! The last half-day is dedicated to the Capture-the-Flag, in which you will apply the newly acquired techniques to compromise a corporate network, pivot to the ICS network and take control of the process to capture a flag with a robotic arm.
Moreover, the training doesn’t stop on the third day! With the WhiskICS training kit, you’ll be able to redo all the exercises after the training and continue experimenting with ICS security on your own.
This training aims at bridging the gap between IT and ICS: it is designed to allow OT professionals to understand the security challenges of ICS with an offensive mindset, while allowing IT professionals to discover the world of Industrial Control Systems and adapt their cybersecurity knowledge to this new world.
The training is heavily hands-on. While no ICS or pentest knowledge is required, it is recommended for attendees to have basic networking and computers skills (using virtual machines, the command line, understanding TCP/IP…).
No need to bring a laptop! All virtual machines, including the attendees’ machines, will be hosted in the cloud and you’ll directly connect from any computer with an Internet access.
This training is not suited for people that already have a strong ICS cybersecurity technical experience.

Google registers a 350% rise in phishing websites, chatbots joins scams, and fake OneDrive login is hot.
Phishing continuously evolves as hackers constantly improve their tactics to net more victims. But the COVID-19 pandemic has sparked their imaginations and created a notable surge in phishing creativity. MSSPs need to add these new tactics to their security measures and client employees’ phishing training to keep everyone aware and informed. Here are some of the most notable and newest phishing threats.
Who knows WHO is? IBM X-Force recently identified a new HawkEye malware variant distributed in emails spoofing the Director-General of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. That email campaign began on March 19 and continues today, according to the X-Force researchers.
Specifically, the spam email has attachments with Agent Tesla malware which deploys a keylogger and info stealer. The emails are personalized for each recipient by a username stripped out of the email address. And the emails claim to be from Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of WHO – instead of the organization in general – to gain credibility with recipients, the researchers said.
KnowBe4’s James McQuiggan
“Unfortunately, the pandemic entices criminals to increase their social engineering and phishing email scams and target people’s fear with false information. The criminals rely on fear and the appetite for information to lure people to open attachments or click the links to load malware onto their systems,” said James McQuiggan, security awareness advocate at KnowBe4.
Fake OneDrive logins. There’s a new global work-from-home phishing campaign that uses a fake OneDrive login in a credential-stealing scam.
“We are seeing more phishing emails that are trying to trick users into giving their credentials through a faked login page. Threat actors are actively utilizing this pandemic to attempt to compromise individuals’ accounts and organization’s networks,” said Mimecast researchers. “The potential for human error will inevitably increase and we expect to see more of these phishing attempts in the coming days and weeks.”
Customer support chatbots steal personal information. A new phishing scam discovered by MalwareHunterTeam targets Russian victims using a “customer support” to notify them of a refund for unused internet or cellphone services. The chatbot scheme is likely to expand the victim count to include people in other countries.
“If it’s too good to be true, it probably is — a famous quote, but one that is a recommended warning to be heeded when it comes to online ads, pop-ups or emails. In this case, the attackers are luring the victims with the promise of money and many are unknowingly falling for it,” said McQuiggan.
McQuiggan says the best prevention is to verify the website or the organization providing the opportunity and reply there.
“Checking to see if the company is real or ignoring it completely and closing the window is recommended. There are a lot of ads which are online scams that utilize click bait to entice people to click a link,” said McQuiggan.
“The victim is then prone to give up sensitive information or provide access to their social media accounts, which in turn leads to the criminal hackers gaining access to more information about the victim to leverage against their own contacts, friends and family,” McQuiggan added.
Google registers a 350% Increase in phishing websites. According to data and analysis by Atlas VPN, “the number of phishing websites spiked by 350% during the coronavirus pandemic. This led to the number of registered phishing sites to rocket to over half a million in March 2020.”
Highlights of the report on the researchers’ findings include:
In January, Google registered a total of 149,195 active phishing websites. In February, the number increased by 50%, reaching 293,235 of registered phishing websites.
Comparing March to January, the number of phishing websites increased by 350%, reaching 522,495 in total.
The number of coronavirus-related phishing websites hit a total of 316,523 in March.
The number of suspicious websites containing COVID-19 related keywords – more than 67,000 – peaked on March 21.
AtlasVPN’s Rachel Welsh
“Hackers identified coronavirus as something users are desperate to find information on. Panic leads to irrational thinking and people forget the basics of cybersecurity. Users then download malicious files or try to purchase in-demand items from unsafe websites, in result becoming victims of scams,” said Rachel Welsh, COO of Atlas VPN.
As protective measures against COVID-19 continue for the foreseeable future in nearly every country, more creative phishing tactics will emerge. MSSPs are now burdened to spot them quickly and guard their clients against them.

Hours after we reported how $37bn (£26bn) had been wiped off from the value of Facebook amid allegations of data mining, the shares in tech giant continue to suffer and were down around 5 per cent since the start of trading in New York today.
Britain is now investigating whether Facebook did enough to protect data after a whistleblower said a London-based political consultancy, Cambridge Analytica, improperly accessed information of 50m social media users to sway public opinion.
The head of Britain’s Information Commission,Elizabeth Denham, is now seeking a warrant to search the offices of Cambridge Analytica.
Meanwhile, Parliament’s Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee has issued a formal request to the Facebook boss to explain the firm’s record in relation with Cambridge Analytica.
The committee’s chair said that while MPs have repeatedly raised the issue of data privacy and exploitation, the tech giant has “consistently understated this risk”.
Facebook has said it hasn’t violated the rules.

Solutions Review editors compiled this example ransomware protection RFP template to help your organization select the best enterprise software.
Ransomware attacks continue to be a major threat to enterprises, causing significant financial and reputational damage. When seeking ransomware protection solutions, enterprise leaders should consider creating a Request for Proposal (RFP) to identify vendors that can meet their needs.
The first step in creating an RFP for ransomware protection solutions is to define the business’s goals and objectives. This may include enhancing the security and resilience of the organization’s systems and data, minimizing the risk of ransomware attacks, or optimizing incident response and recovery. With these goals in mind, businesses can identify their specific ransomware protection needs and requirements.
Once the business’s needs have been identified, the RFP should include a detailed description of the project scope, timeline, and budget. This information will help potential vendors understand the project’s parameters and determine whether they are capable of meeting the business’s requirements. In addition, the RFP should also include specific evaluation criteria that will be used to assess vendor proposals, such as technical expertise, experience, and pricing.
Ransomware Protection RFP Template
Another important consideration when creating an RFP is to ensure that it includes clear and concise instructions for vendors on how to respond to the proposal. This may include providing a detailed project plan, outlining the methodology and tools that will be used, and describing any potential risks or challenges that may arise during the project. Vendors should also be provided with a list of references and case studies to demonstrate their experience and expertise in the field.
Businesses should also consider including a Service Level Agreement (SLA) that specifies the level of service and support that vendors will provide throughout the project.
Businesses should consider including a section in the RFP that addresses potential issues that may arise during the project, such as delays, cost overruns, or scope changes. This section should outline the process for managing these issues and should include a clear communication plan for keeping all stakeholders informed and up-to-date on project progress.
An RFP can be a powerful tool for enterprises seeking ransomware protection solutions. By clearly defining their goals and objectives, identifying their specific needs and requirements, and outlining a detailed project plan and budget, businesses can attract qualified vendors who are capable of meeting their needs. Additionally, by including evaluation criteria, legal and regulatory requirements, and a process for managing potential issues, businesses can ensure that the project runs smoothly and efficiently from start to finish.
What Should an RFP Template Include?
An RFP template should include several key sections to ensure that the document is comprehensive and covers all of the necessary information. Here are some of the sections that should be included in an RFP template:
Introduction: This section should provide an overview of the project and the purpose of the RFP. It should also include instructions for vendors on how to respond to the RFP.
Project Scope: This section should define the project scope and objectives, as well as any specific requirements or constraints. It should also describe the expected deliverables and timelines.
Technical Requirements: This section should outline the technical requirements for the project, including any hardware, software, or infrastructure needs. It should also include any data management or security requirements.
Evaluation Criteria: This section should describe the criteria that will be used to evaluate vendor proposals. This may include factors such as technical expertise, experience, pricing, and customer references.
Proposal Guidelines: This section should provide instructions for vendors on how to structure their proposals. It should also outline any requirements for submitting a proposal, such as a deadline or format.
Contract Terms: This section should include the terms and conditions of the contract, including any warranties, service level agreements, or termination clauses.
Budget: This section should include the budget for the project, including any constraints or limitations.
Legal and Regulatory Requirements: This section should outline any legal or regulatory requirements that vendors must comply with, such as data privacy regulations or industry-specific standards.
Project Management: This section should describe the project management approach, including the roles and responsibilities of each party and the communication plan.
Appendices: This section should include any additional information or supporting documents, such as technical specifications or sample contracts.
An RFP template should be detailed and comprehensive, providing vendors with all of the information they need to submit a complete and competitive proposal. By including these key sections, businesses can ensure that they receive high-quality proposals that meet their needs and requirements.

You’ve probably seen the news about companies around the world being hacked. These are companies that have millions of dollars invested in technology and have top-notch security professionals at the helm. While organizations invest in IT security infrastructure, many of them lack in the biggest security gap: The User.
People are trained to perform their jobs in technology, accounting, sales, etc. but lack the basic knowledge of how to protect company data from the outside. You can’t assume that everyone knows the rules, cautions and dangers. Hackers are getting better and better at disguising their methods, it’s not always obvious.
To have an effective security program, individuals need to know what to do when hackers call them, how to identify a hacker’s emails, how to know which software apps are “safe” to download, among other things. Probably most important is what to do when those hacker attempts are identified.
The White House has declared October National Cyber Security Awareness Month, stating “the cyberthreat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation.”
Attacks can be initiated at any time, notably after company news is released or following a network outage (sometimes by design as in Denial of Service attacks). The messages may be appear to be official company communications or may be spoofed to come from a Corporate Executive. When emails fail, the hacker may discover future “prospects” using other forms of attack such as social engineering.
As increasing amounts of sensitive information flows across the network, new platforms are designed protect that information. However, the best security technology in the world can't help you unless employees understand how to safeguard data and protect company resources.
Security Awareness Training is a critical component in protecting an organization’s most important asset - its data. Training users to identify and avoid risks and make good judgments online are critical elements of network security.
The key to leveraging security awareness training to protect your data isn’t just a one-time blast; it’s a continual learning process. That’s why a well-organized cybersecurity training program includes reinforcements throughout the year like posters, newsletters, videos training, evaluations and videos.
The problem with security awareness programs is that it’s hard to “prove” their success. As with any security countermeasure, success is measured in that nothing happens. Every time an employee does not click on a phishing message, every time they avoid a malicious website, every time they lock their door or computer monitor, every time they refuse to enter private information for questionable purposes, is a security awareness success.
As NCSAM kicks off, I challenge you and your organization's end users to take action on these daily security risks:
Keep your computer locked at all times while you’re away from your desk.
Learn to recognize a phishing email.
Create strong passwords at work and at home.
Protect your computer as you would your wallet or purse.
Report suspicious emails, phone calls or persons in the building.
Let’s work together and help combat unwanted threats as a team. If we do this correctly, no news will truly be good news.

Uptycs, provider of the first cloud-native security analytics platform enabling cloud and endpoint security from a common solution, today announced new cloud detection and response (CDR) capabilities for detecting and remediating sophisticated attacks against cloud infrastructure. The new CDR feature will help organizations quickly detect malicious behaviors such as discovery, privilege escalation, remote code execution, and data exfiltration in their AWS cloud environment.
Attackers that have cloud credentials typically need to discover what is in the environment and escalate their privileges before they can achieve their goal, whether stealing data, installing coin mining software, or deploying ransomware. As they go about reconnoitering the environment and move laterally their activity is frequently logged, but someone with cloud security expertise needs to examine the sequence of events to discern malicious behavior. The new Uptycs CDR capabilities automate this analysis, alerting cloud security teams to attacks in progress.
“Threat actors today have become cloud experts. Their tactics and techniques are evolving quicker than most want to believe. When (not if) a threat actor steals credentials to your cloud environment, time is of the essence to detect their activity before they achieve their goal,” says Andre Rall, Director of Cloud Security at Uptycs. “The new CDR function in Uptycs evens the playing field for defenders, giving them automated expertise so they can detect and respond to these sophisticated threats.” “Detection and response capabilities are essential to reducing risk and securing cloud infrastructure,” says Ganesh Pai, Co-Founder and CEO at Uptycs. “Our vision is to enable companies to innovate with cloud-native applications in a secure manner. That means securing the entire cloud-native application lifecycle, from the point where the code is written on developers’ laptops to the application workload run in the cloud. CDR plays a critical role, providing security teams with the ability to quickly detect stealthy attacks against cloud infrastructure as they unfold.”
The new CDR functionality is included in the Uptycs cloud security offering and is currently available for AWS. Visit the Uptycs booth at AWS re:Inforce (#317) to view a demo of its cloud security offering including CDR.

Most of us wouldn’t give out our car keys to random strangers but using insecure passwords can be just as bad. It’s not uncommon for people to use the same password for several logins and make it easy to remember so they don’t get locked out.
Unfortunately, cyber criminals are betting on this lax password management, and hacking or stealing login credentials is their bread and butter. Once, they have access to a network, device, or login, they can plant spyware, potentially access an online bank account, steal sensitive employee or customer data, and much more.
Our Connect2Geek Managed Security Services Team helps companies in Nampa, ID and the surrounding area protect their networks and data from breaches. And one of the “best practices” that we instill in our clients for the best protection from credential theft is to use two-factor authentication (2FA), also known as multi-factor authentication (MFA).
Did you know? 81% of hacking-related data breaches are the result of stolen or hacked passwords! So, using a protocol that adds an additional layer of security to your password logins, goes a long way toward preventing breaches of your network and devices.
Businesses can significantly increase their security by adding this simple extra step to logins. But many still haven’t implemented it for all their employees and for all work applications and programs they use.
Here are some compelling reasons to make this a key cornerstone of any company cybersecurity policy.

U.K. police arrested a 34-year-old man on Monday on suspicion of creating counterfeit credit cards and organizing a network of people involved in money laundering, officials said.
Authorities from the Metropolitan Police’s Police Central e-crime Unit also seized data and equipment believed to be used to created fraudulent payment cards, including blank dummy cards with magnetic strips, during a raid Monday morning in east London.
The man, whose name was not made public, is also accused of organizing money “mules” — people recruited to accept stolen funds and transfer them to other bank accounts for a small share of the amount.
The latest action follows a spate of arrests in the U.K., U.S. and Ukraine in one of the largest coordinated computer crime actions by law enforcement.
Last month, the U.K. arrested 11 Eastern Europeans allegedly involved in money laundering related to the Zeus online banking malware. U.S. officials charged 92 people with crimes related to Zeus and Ukrainian authorities detained five people.
Metropolitan Police officials were not immediately available to confirm if the man was involved in Zeus-related activities.
Fake payment cards remain a problem. Fraudsters attach a special device to ATMs that record the payment card details contained on the magnetic strips on the back of the card, known as a skimming attack.
Cards issued throughout Europe have a microchip that confirms the card’s PIN (Personal Identification Number). A clone card without the microchip will usually not work in the machine, but criminals then export the cards to places such as the United States where the machines do not verify the chip and cash can be withdrawn.
European banks reported a record number of skimming attacks in the first half of this year, according to the European ATM Security Team (EAST), a nonprofit group composed of national payment organizations, financial institutions and law enforcement.
Losses due to skimming fell slightly, however, indicating that criminals are having to work harder for less gain due to security improvement in the payment cards, called EMV (Europay, MasterCard, Visa) or chip-and-PIN cards. Skimming losses were €143.5 million (US$202.1 million) for the first half of this year, EAST said.

You can encrypt your data after installation even though you didn't choose to encrypt it during installation.
To encrypt your entire /home directory and, all it's sub-directories, such as Documents, Downloads, Music, etc. read this link: how-to-encrypt-your-home-folder-after-installing-ubuntu that explains how to encrypt /home after you've installed Ubuntu. There are plenty of screenshots and narrative walking you through the process.
To summarize the link what you need to do is:
Backup your data. Although the migration process uses a working backup you want your own just to be safe.
Install the encryption software with sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils cryptsetup.
Create a temporary account with sudo privileges. In order to encrypt your /home directory you can't be logged on as yourself.
Login with your regular user name. A random passphrase can be generated which you need to write down if something goes wrong in the future and you need to access /home folder manually.
Some people feel encrypting all of /home is overkill and can be too cumbersome when moving /home to another computer or different drive on the same computer. I tried encryption when I installed Ubuntu for the first time in 2014 but when I messed things up and had to reinstall Ubuntu I skipped the encryption option after reading problems other users encountered (although I never did have encryption problems).
If you don't want to encrypt /home and all the sub-directories. You can have a single encrypted ~/.Private directory where you can keep certain files that need encryption such as "things I don't want the NSA to know" or "wife's surprise birthday party planning". This is described here: EncryptedPrivateDirectory

Every college degree is different and not every certificate is equally valuable. The ranking of the university on the global list of top universities will determine the degree’s value. A degree from MIT or Harvard, Yale, Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford, Oxford, ETH Zurich, and Yale are all highly regarded. However, it is not the case for a lesser-ranked college.
A Microsoft Certification, is an example of a Microsoft Certification. A certification is issued by CISCO or CompTIA. All students and teachers are subject to the same standard, including the content you learn, the way you learn it, and the exams you pass. Employers around the world can use the certificate because it is issued by an international organization that upholds the standards.

Intel has unleashed a new competitor to Raspberry Pi 3 with its new Joule development board, which packs in superior graphics and wireless connectivity.
The chipmaker has loaded the development board with technology found in regular PCs: a 64-bit quad-core Atom processor, 4K graphics, 802.11ac connectivity, and DDR4 memory features.
However, Joule doesn't compete on price with the Raspberry Pi, which sells for US$35. A high-end version of the Joule board is on sale at the Intel Developer Forum this week for $369.99.
The Joule will provide big-time computing power for robots, drones, smart devices, and wearables. Like Raspberry Pi, Joule supports flavors of Linux and the Windows 10 IoT Core operating systems.
Joule also supports Intel's 3D RealSense camera, which is being used in drones and robots, as well as virtual reality and augmented reality headsets. The camera can recognize gestures, track objects, measure distances, and if programmed correctly, recognize human emotions. The camera helps drones and robots avoid collisions.
Price aside, the challenge for Intel is to get developers to accept the board. Intel's previous boards haven't been widely accepted, and many projects using Intel boards have been driven by the chipmaker. The Raspberry Pi has sold in the millions, and it has a thriving software development ecosystem around it.
At IDF Tuesday, Intel showed the Joule chipset being used in a bartending robot and motorcycle helmet. But an interesting use was in a pair of smart glasses, helping a quality control worker conduct real-time analysis, with the glasses buzzing when there were problems with products.
This is by far the fastest of Intel's development boards, including Galileo Gen2 and Edison, which haven't been upgraded for years. Intel also offers the tiny Curie system used in wearables. Curie is also used in BMX bikes and in skateboards, providing real-time statistics to TV audiences.

The compromised information includes students’ names and dates of birth, alongside a limited number of staff names and email addresses.
The incident impacted nearly 114,000 students who attended Washoe County Schools between 2001 and 2016.
Washoe County School District (WCSD) suffered a data breach incident, which impacted nearly 114,000 students who attended Washoe County Schools between 2001 and 2016.
What happened?
The school district said that the breach occurred after one of its contractors, Pearson fell victim to a security incident.
Pearson notified the WCSD on July 24, 2019, that it had experienced a data security incident involving an older version of the Pearson Clinical Assessment's program, AIMSweb that was accessed by an unauthorized third party.
What information was compromised?
“The type of information involved in this incident was extremely limited,” said Robert Sidford, Chief Information and Innovation Officer for WCSD.
What was the response?
The school district is working with the contractor to ensure that WCSD student data in their possession has been appropriately secured.
WCSD is notifying the impacted students and staff about the incident and is offering free credit monitoring services for all impacted individuals.
“While WCSD would like to individually reach out to every person impacted by this breach, the information is old and not specific enough for the District to identify exactly who has been impacted,” Alan Cunningham, Information Security Officer at WCSD said.
“Because the information in question was generated so long ago, many of these students are no longer in our schools. In addition, the type of information is so limited, it is difficult to identify any of the students impacted. However, we are issuing this notification out of an abundance of caution so families and individuals are aware of the potential release of this information,” Cunningham added.

The IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act has been officially signed into law. The bipartisan legislation, sponsored by Reps. Robin Kelly, D-Ill., and Will Hurd, R-Texas, and Sens. Mark Warner, D-Va., and Cory Gardner, R-Colo., requires that any IoT device purchased with government money meet minimum security standards.
Reportedly, the Act would address the supply chain risk to the federal government stemming from insecure IoT devices by establishing light-touch, minimum security requirements for procurement of connected devices by the government, and specifically: Require the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to publish standards and guidelines on the use and management of IoT devices by the federal government, including minimum information security requirements for managing cybersecurity risks associated with IoT devices.
Direct the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to review federal government information security policies and make any necessary changes to ensure they are consistent with NIST’s recommendations.

A cybersecurity expert consults a tablet while working in a data center.
The digitization of the modern world has brought about incredible opportunities, including exciting new ways to buy and sell goods and services, communicate across geographic borders, and express ourselves creatively.
With these opportunities, however, come a number of new and dangerous threats, particularly those posed by hackers and other online assailants. In 2019, there were over 31,000 cases of cybercrime worldwide, according to a 2022 report by Statista. Phishing was the most common type of attack, and 65% of organizations in the United States were victims of it in that same year.
This suggests that a real opportunity is available for cybersecurity professionals. Those who seek advanced degrees in cybersecurity can make a significant difference by helping businesses, nonprofit organizations, government bodies, and private citizens safeguard their online activity from potential hackers.
Understanding the potential career opportunities and salary for a master’s in cybersecurity can prepare students to choose the right path for success.
What Is a Master’s in Cybersecurity?
According to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, cybersecurity is “the art of protecting networks, devices, and data from unauthorized access or criminal use and the practice of ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.”
A master’s in cybersecurity helps provide computer science and information technology (IT) professionals with the skills required to analyze the security needs of a given network or IT infrastructure. Additionally, it can train cybersecurity professionals to assess networks for potential vulnerabilities, spot places where cybercriminals may enter, and recommend the necessary safeguards.
Program Length and Curriculum
The typical master’s in cybersecurity program takes approximately two years to complete, although some programs can be completed in as little as 18 months. An undergraduate degree in computer science or a related field is usually a prerequisite for applying, although some programs will accept students with bachelor’s in other fields upon completion of foundation courses.
Master’s-level cybersecurity programs cover subject matter that includes enterprise security, data mining, risk management, and machine learning. The goal of these programs is to prepare students not only to succeed in the workplace but also to become certified as ethical hackers, network defenders, or experts in a comparable role.
Master’s in Cybersecurity Salary and Job Outlook
Cybersecurity is a growing field with the potential for impressive salary figures and industry growth.
According to Payscale, the median annual salary for a master’s in cybersecurity was around $91,000. Many factors can affect an individual’s salary, including their years of experience, geographic location, and job title.
As a reference point for the cybersecurity job market, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that positions for information security analysts are expected to grow by 33% between 2020 and 2030. This is a much higher rate of growth than the average projected for all professions, which is 8%.
A penetration tester helps organizations identify vulnerabilities in their cybersecurity infrastructure before a hacker can do the same. Penetration testers often use ethical hacking principles to try to breach a network, all with the organization’s permission.
According to Payscale, the median annual salary of penetration testers was around $88,500, as of June 2022.
Cybersecurity Director
The cybersecurity director assumes a leadership position over an organization's IT security measures. This may involve managing a team of cybersecurity professionals and a portfolio of technologies.

Ethernet is the most well-liked physical layer LAN technology in use today. It defines the number of conductors that are required for a connection, the efficiency thresholds that may be anticipated, and offers the framework for data transmission. A standard Ethernet community can transmit knowledge at a rate up to 10 Megabits per second . Other LAN types include Token Ring, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fiber Distributed Data Interface , Asynchronous Transfer Mode and LocalTalk. With the meteoric rise in demand for connectivity, the Internet has turn into a serious communications highway for millions of users.
Various PC vendors have been proponents of Token Ring networks. Network managers who need to incorporate Fast Ethernet into an present configuration are required to make many choices. Gigabit Ethernet is a future expertise that promises a migration path beyond Fast Ethernet so the subsequent technology of networks will help even higher knowledge switch speeds.

The first Applied Networking Research Prize for 2014 was awarded to Kenny Paterson for finding and documenting new attacks against key Internet security protocols. In their paper, “Lucky Thirteen: Breaking the TLS and DTLS Record Protocols” (Proc. IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy, pp. 526-540, San Francisco, CA, USA, May 2013.), Kenny and his co-author Nadhem Al Fardan demonstrate practical attacks against Transport Layer Security, a fundamental security building block for much of today’s online activity.
Kenny’s presentation to the Internet Research Task Force open meeting in London gave a great insight into the techniques he and others have developed to leverage seemingly tiny differences in the timing of protocol operations to reveal plaintext and thereby break the security of the transaction. There is now a real need for constant-time, constant-memory access implementations to be confident that such potential implementation weaknesses have been completely eliminated (and see [https://www.imperialviolet.org/2013/02/04/luckythirteen.html] for a discussion of how hard that is to achieve in practice).
Kenny noted the importance of the virtuous cycle that sees widely used security protocols gaining a high profile in the research community, leading to more analysis and more development work to patch weaknesses as they are discovered, and ultimately stronger security protocols for everyone. Responsible disclosure practices and close collaboration with the IETF were key aspects in this instance.
Kenny’s slides are available and audio from the presentation is also available starting at 00:18:25.

When the 113th Congress gavelled into session in January, it promised a renewed focus on cybersecurity legislation. The 112th Congress punted much of its cybersecurity legislation to its successor, and the pressure was on to produce. But despite leadership changes and an increased focus on the issue, passable, effective legislation has not necessarily followed.
Almost weekly, new reports emerge showing the ubiquity of cyber-attacks on U.S. businesses, costing the economy billions of dollars. Recently, the government also accused Chinese hackers of stealing designs for classified military technology. And Washington has responded. The White House issued an executive order on cybersecurity in February. Lobbying reports mentioning the word “cybersecurity” doubled in 2012. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) — who took over as House Homeland Security Committee chairman — promised to make the issue his “top priority.”

“This Congress, you have different players and people who want to have conversations,” Jessica Herrera-Flanigan, a partner at Monument Policy Group, a lobbying firm representing Boeing Co., Microsoft Corp. and LinkedIn Corp, said in an interview with FedScoop. “The dynamics have changed, and that’s making a difference.”
But while there are more Hill hearings on the issue and a new dialogue between the House and Senate, skepticism remains that strategies have changed or that legislation with a realistic chance of becoming law is getting written.
“We definitely see more legislation moving in some form, but passage you can never tell,” said Herrera-Flanigan, a former staff director for the House Homeland Security Committee.
Leadership change in the House’s Homeland Security Committee led to expectations of a different approach. McCaul ascended as chair, and Rep. Peter Meehan (R-Pa.) replaced outgoing Rep. Daniel Lungren (R-Calif.) as chair of the subcommittee on cybersecurity. In 2012, Lungren failed to push through a cybersecurity bill to assess the cyber threats to critical infrastructures — the electric grid, financial services systems, etc. — and enhance cyber threat information sharing. McCaul vowed to introduce a similar bill with more input from the private sector, hoping to overcome one of the major obstacles that killed Lungren’s bill.
But thus far, McCaul has just reintroduced his Cybersecurity Enhancement Act from the previous Congress and advocated for the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, also reintroduced from the 112th Congress. Both passed the House again, but are likely to languish in the Senate (again) plagued by partisanship and privacy concerns. President Barack Obama has also threatened to veto CISPA. McCaul has indicated his committee has another cybersecurity legislation bill “in development” to delineate the Homeland Security Department’s role in sharing cyber-attack information with private companies.

“I don’t see any creativity and any imagination or any serious legislation coming from the House,” said Peter Toren, a lawyer at Weisbrod Matteis & Copley and who was one of the first federal prosecutors with the Justice Department’s Computer Crime Unit, created in 1992. “If Congress wants to be really serious about it, they have to take a fresh approach to the issue and not simply graft and make changes to the existing law that may or may not be adequate.”
In the 112th Congress, the Senate ignored both the Enhancement Act — intended to bolster cybersecurity research and the government’s cyber workforce — and CISPA, which would allow the public and private sectors to share Internet traffic information. Instead, the upper chamber pursued its own bill, led by Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Pa.) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), who are no longer in the top spots on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. Lieberman retired, replaced as chair by Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), and Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) took Collins’ spot as the committee’s ranking member.
“That starts the discussion off fresh in some ways,” Herrera-Flanigan said. Republican leadership also changed on the Senate Commerce Committee, which was part of the cybersecurity push in 2012.
But with guns, immigration and the sequester grinding the Senate’s progress to a halt, the group hasn’t even touched cybersecurity since January. Enter the White House. Obama’s cybersecurity executive action in February allows the government to gather some intelligence on cyber-attacks and cyber threats to privately owned national infrastructure (i.e. utility networks and the banking industry). It was widely viewed as a first step, but could give the Senate an out on making its own legislation.
“The real question in the Senate is, do they need to address the requirements regarding critical infrastructure?” Herrera-Flanigan said. “Is that needed in light of the executive order?”

Though Congress has yet to diverge significantly from its predecessor on specific cybersecurity bills, it might set itself apart by introducing cybersecurity sections into annual legislation like the National Defense Authorization Act and the Appropriations Act.
The 113th Congress could also set itself apart by addressing “hack back.” Currently, private companies are not allowed to make defensive cyber-attacks to counter hackers. Advocates want Congress to allow immunity for corporations fighting back against hackers, or to set guidelines for legal forms of defensive cyber-attacks. So far, the topic has only made it to the Hill in committee testimony, but Herrera-Flanigan expects it to hit the House floor within a year or two. And Toren believes at least it would show a willingness to craft new legislation that acknowledges the current landscape.
“Putting aside some other ethical questions and whether it would be successful,” he said, “[it’s] clearly something Congress needs to consider.”

UK businesses were subjected to 667,597 different cyberattacks during 2021, experiencing a new attempt to breach their systems online every 47 seconds, according to new data published by Beaming, a specialist business ISP.
Although the total volume of attacks was three percent lower than in 2020, the rate of attacks on UK businesses online remains historically high. Cyberattacks increased by 11% when the UK moved to lockdown and widespread home working in 2020 and have remained in excess of 1,750 attacks per day since then.
Beaming’s analysis of commercial internet traffic shows that UK businesses received 165,933 attempts to breach their systems online in the final three months of 2021, the equivalent of 1,804 a day. The rate of attack climbed steadily between September and December 2021.
Beaming identified attacks on businesses from 257,435 IP addresses during the fourth quarter of 2021. It traced almost half (49%) to locations in China. The USA (25%), India (13%), Brazil (10%) and Russia (10%) also played host to significant proportions of attacking IP addresses.
Remotely controlled devices continued to be the most frequently targeted application by hackers, attracting nine percent of all attack activity. These include network device administration which is often unsecured by default and a common route into target organisations.
Sonia Blizzard, Managing Director of Beaming, said: “Cyberattacks fell very slightly in 2021, but remain at historically high levels. UK businesses with internet connections encountered new cyberattacks every 47 seconds last year. There is no room for complacency.” “Attack patterns over the last two years suggest cybercriminals see remote working as a significant opportunity to access company data and IT systems via employees’ unmanaged domestic internet connections. Attacks increase when people are asked to work from home.
“ISPs like Beaming can help businesses reduce the enhanced risk of exposure associated with home and hybrid working. Organisations also need to ensure they are building resilience through training, technology and documented cybersecurity policies.”

It is important that we certainly have an updated virus databases so that we may identify the most up-to-date threats that may appear on each of our systems. This is certainly done with the assistance of a-comparisons instrument which is available with avast Ant-virus. It examines two documents and marks out the survey with the ant-virus definitions it detects on your computer system. Based on this report, the person can make a decision whether the current threat level needs even more protection or perhaps not. It is highly successful in discovering malware, spyware and adware, adware, Trojan viruses and viruses, which are some of the prevalent threats which can affect your personal computer.
While avast Antivirus does extremely well regarding virus coverage and performance, and also have the drawbacks just like poor viruses detection.

Military veterans have a variety of in-demand skill sets that make them highly desirable candidates for some of the fast-rising cybersecurity positions in the industry. Along with the years of experience with problem-solving, discipline and mental and physical rigor, veterans often have another ace in their hand — security clearance — that can push them to the top of the pile for some of the best entry-level cybersecurity jobs today.
In this article, we’ll discuss ways in which your security clearance can better position you for cybersecurity positions, and how to leverage that advantage throughout your career.
Some government positions require an increased level of sensitivity but not a level of security clearance. These are public trust positions.
The investigation for public trust positions is similar to the clearance levels listed. It is often misrepresented as the fourth type of clearance; however, it is not considered a clearance, just an investigation type. If you have worked on a public trust position before, you could be viewed as a “clearable” candidate, meaning that you could obtain one of the clearance levels listed.
The business argument for hiring veterans
Obtaining a security clearance while in the military is beneficial for transitioning out and back into civilian life. Both federal contracting companies and the government alike love employing veterans. Some studies suggest that veterans are more productive than their civilian counterparts and maintain higher retention rates. That is especially attractive to a contracting company, which could spend thousands of dollars on obtaining or maintaining a security clearance, performing background checks and other overhead costs. This makes a veteran with a security clearance a very appealing option to hire.
If you are seeking a career in cybersecurity with little to no prior experience, there are some entry-level options you could pursue. Though many of them do, not all jobs in the military that require clearance are related to technology.
If you gained some IT experience, this will help you transition into a cybersecurity position. If you worked not in IT but in intelligence, that position can also make for a smooth transition into cybersecurity as well, and you can emphasize the related skills you gained in this role. If you did not perform any IT or intelligence work, your leadership skills and security clearance will still make you a valuable addition to any company.
The best job for you to pursue depends on your long-term career goals and previous experience. You should take time to access what skills you gained during your time in the military and what your ultimate career goal is.
Some of the items you should inventory:
Do you have a degree? If so, what level (B.S., M.S., Ph.D.)? What was your major? A degree in any field can prove helpful in getting a position, but a technical degree can substitute for years of experience in some cases.
What were the details of your job in the military? As you prepare your resume, you want to be mindful of what you did and how that translates into skills pertinent to cybersecurity. Did you participate in activities that provided physical security support (standing watch or duty, for example)? Look at job postings you are interested in and pay attention to the language used. There may be things you did that you have not considered that can be extremely relevant to a job in cybersecurity.
What are your short- and long-term career goals? Knowing where you want your career to go is helpful in writing your resume as well as your job search. The cybersecurity field is vast. It is a field, not just one job. Saying you want to work in cybersecurity should always be followed up with a specific job type. There are technical jobs, including pentesting, security testing applications and systems, system administration, security architecture, cybersecurity analyst and more.
For many people, these are the default cybersecurity jobs as they deal with tech, but they are not the only options out there. There are also compliance-related jobs which can include security auditors and cybersecurity engineering; testing can also fall into this category. Information Systems Security Officers and Managers (ISSOs/ISSMs) fall into this category. They ensure systems are compliant with all required laws and regulations.
There is also the management track. This is for people who want to manage security-related projects and organizations.
Knowing where you want to be can help you determine where to start. If you’re interested in a technical path, then you want an entry-level job with some technical requirements to help build your skill set. You also want to look at certifications that could be helpful. Do you want to go to a management path or compliance? You potentially need a degree and possibly a more advanced certification (e.g., CISSP).
Below are a few positions to consider if you have a security clearance, prior military experience, and a desire to work in cybersecurity.
Helpdesk administrator
Working for a company’s IT helpdesk is a good segue into IT and potentially cybersecurity. This is also a great entry-level position for someone with no prior IT experience.
Working as a helpdesk technician, you help users troubleshoot their technical issues. Most helpdesks offer scripts for their technicians to follow to guide them in asking the right questions and finding a potential solution. You may encounter various types of issues that will build up your mental knowledge base of technical issues and their fixes — learning these tools to help you transfer to a more technical position such as a system administrator or tester.
System administrator
Many organizations, depending on their needs and size, have slots available for junior system administrators. This is another excellent entry-level option.
Those with some prior IT experience they gained from the military, or maybe on a helpdesk position, are generally qualified for a junior sysadmin job. If you gained substantial IT experience, you could qualify for a higher leveled position or maybe a direct cybersecurity job.
Technical writer
If you have a knack for writing and strong attention to detail, this could be a great starter job. Some companies have openings for junior technical writers. However, if you have a B.S. in any field, that often substitutes 3-4 years of experience. You had to write to finish your college education.
A technical writer writes technical documentation, procedures, guides and other items. Some technical writers are responsible for website content and updates as well. Starting in technical writing, you get an opportunity to learn about technical things. Some technical writing positions are cybersecurity-specific, meaning you learn while writing.
Cybersecurity analyst
The job requirements for a cybersecurity analyst vary. Many analyst positions are in support of the Network Operations Center (NOC) or Security Operations Center (SOC) environments, but not always. Some of these positions in the NOC or SOC environment include evaluating malware, monitoring systems for abnormalities or intrusion or performing threat-hunting activities.
Some analyst positions involve performing compliance analysis in order to ensure that the proposed architecture will be able to pass any future security audits or evaluating the proposed architecture for potential vulnerabilities and exploitable weaknesses. Many of these positions require some level of previous technical experience; however, having prior military experience with a clearance, some companies are willing to pair you with a more seasoned analyst and provide on-the-job training.
Cybersecurity engineer
As with the other jobs listed, there are junior- and mid-level cybersecurity engineering jobs. A cybersecurity engineer is normally a mix of technical and compliance analysis, though the term cybersecurity engineer is used for a wide range of job types. It can include vulnerability management, architectural design, compliance, risk assessment, software configuration, installation and more. You would commonly be responsible for analyzing the compliance needs of a system and ensuring the best solutions are implemented. This includes analyzing cost concerns and system requirements.
If you have some prior technical experience, some companies are willing to train you on the compliance aspect of the position. Alternately, if you do not have prior technical experience but are great at project management and understand compliance concerns, you could still be deemed an asset.
Conclusion
I’ve been in this position myself. I spent four years in the Navy as a cryptologic technician. I knew I wanted to work in cybersecurity (though back then, we used the term “information assurance”).
As suggested earlier, I sat down and evaluated my skill set and my long-term career goals. The first job I secured after my enlistment was as a technical writer for a Navy program office that provided IT systems for other DoD agencies. Knowing that working in cybersecurity was my goal, I used the information I learned as a tech writer to advance into becoming a tester, which led to becoming a systems administrator. I spent years as a sysadmin to learn about architecture and operating systems. I used that to become a cybersecurity engineer.
After a few years as a cybersecurity engineer, I had the time in the field to be able to sit for the CISSP. With the combined years of experience and CISSP certification, my career options opened. If I can do it, you can too.
