Symantec protects information wherever it’s stored or accessed. from your company’s most important information to your family photos.Everything we do begins with what we’ve learned about keeping people’s information secure. 

We operate a worldwide cyberintelligence threat network that positions us to proactively address where you’re most vulnerable. This network captures worldwide security intelligence data that gives Symantec analysts unparalleled sources of data to identify and analyse, to deliver protection and provide informed commentary on emerging trends in attacks, malicious code activity, phishing and spam.

In this week’s Cyber Security Brief podcast, we mark the one-year anniversary of the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation – more commonly known as GDPR. To mark the introduction of GDPR, Brigid O’Gorman talks to Zoltan Precsenyi, Symantec’s director of GDPR strategy. We discuss the impact of the introduction of GDPR on companies and members of the public, whether or not the regulation is fulfilling its stated purpose, and the new data protection and privacy challenges that are likely to face companies in the future.

Failure is an essential component of success. Ask any “successful” person and, assuming they’re being honest, they’ll tell you it’s what they learned when things went wrong that proved most valuable of all. That and the grit to pick themselves up – and press on, year after year.

Whilst there are many lessons we have to learn ourselves, in an ideal world we’d be able to learn from someone else’s mistakes. This is especially useful in cyber security, where there’s millions, or even billions, at stake and breaches  can have serious implications for national security.

The majority of the 3,000 security decision makers surveyed as part of this research, across three countries, would agree. More than half (51%) say failure is a critically important part of the process of improving cyber security measures.

Join Darren Thomson, EMEA CTO, Symantec, Dr Chris Brauer Goldsmiths University and Richard Brinson, CEO Savanti to find out how to turn disaster into success.

After the Breach: How to Turn Disaster into Success

On this week’s Cyber Security Brief podcast, it's episode 50! We discuss the EU’s bug bounty program, bad password security practice, and why “secure” websites are becomingly increasingly untrustworthy. We also chat about the start-up that hacked its own customers’ cryptocurrency wallets – in order to safeguard their funds, a further update on the RDP vulnerability we’ve discussed previously, and how the Spanish soccer league La Liga was misusing its mobile app. Finally, the story of how Radiohead called the bluff of a ransomware criminal.

In this week’s Cyber Security Brief podcast, we discuss the drama that ensued when Samsung tweeted about scanning their smart TVs for malware, a city in Canada lost CA$500,000 to a BEC scam, and three universities in the U.S. revealed in the same week that they were hit by data breaches. Also, we discuss new research just published by Symantec into the Waterbug/Turla group, and two different Android threats that were in the news this week.

As enterprises begin to recognize the need for greater visibility into mobile threats and are increasingly pressed to protect their organizations from such threats, primary concerns still seem to be focused around what threats a solution can identify – malware, phishing, network attacks and much more.

While this is a starting point, there are other elements, characteristics, and abilities that have a far greater impact on the protection of an organization’s sensitive assets, information, and data that are not discussed often enough.

Join Brian Duckering c and Jeff Louisma as they explore the less-discussed topics of a mobile security strategy that everyone should understand – before it’s too late.

• Focus on high user acceptance rates - poor adoption rates can make a good solution worthless.

• Provide security on managed & unmanaged devices - equally effective security should be available for mobile devices and use cases.

• Protection of sensitive data and systems should take place in real time - relying on third-party solutions or human intervention could be too late.

• Resource demand should be minimal - maintaining and updating the solution should be efficient and require minimal resources.

Mobile Security Strategy Best Practices

On this week’s Cyber Security Brief podcast, Candid Wueest and Dick O’Brien discuss Transport for London’s plans to start collecting data about the customers using its Wi-Fi, and what that might mean for people’s privacy. Also, the ongoing repercussions of the ransomware attack that hit the U.S. city of Baltimore, including revelations about the use of the EternalBlue tool by the attackers, plus an update on activity surrounding the BlueKeep RDP vulnerability that was patched by Microsoft a few weeks ago. Also this week, the teen who appeared in court in Australia charged with hacking Apple, and the latest Bitcoin scams doing the rounds online.

Cyber Security Brief: Tube data collected, Baltimore ransomware & BlueKeep

In this week’s Cyber Security Brief podcast, we discuss the government employee who was charged with using his work IT systems to mine cryptocurrency, how Google is scanning your emails to collect information about your purchases, and the proof of concept exploits that have been created for the BlueKeep bug. We also chat about ransomware “recovery” services that are just paying the ransom, the dismantling of the GozNym network, and how Intel CPUs have been impacted by new MDS side-channel attacks.

On this week’s Cyber Security Brief podcast, we discuss our newly-released research into the Buckeye espionage group, and its use of Equation group tools prior to the Shadow Brokers leak. Dick O’Brien is joined by Symantec analyst Sylvester Segura to discuss the findings and to share more details about Symantec’s investigation into this activity. Also this week, we chat about the growing threat of targeted ransomware, and look at what the UK government is planning to do to improve the security of IoT devices.

Cloud Workload Assurance: A Journey from visibility to compliance

On this week’s Cyber Security Brief podcast, we discuss our recently published research into the Beapy cryptojacking worm, which is using the EternalBlue exploit to spread, and is primarily impacting enterprises in China. We also talk about data breaches, the dangers your set-top box might pose, why some GPS apps need to upgrade their security, and what the Emotet criminals are up to now.

As companies move their applications and operations from on-prem data centers to the cloud, a variety of security concerns become more complex. 

Applying security controls to servers outside of the physical control of IT means depending on web services and remote management. And since your data might not be in a single cloud – one benefit of cloud computing is spreading your data among multiple physical servers – data management can be difficult. 

This webcast will look at how data is managed, performance is monitored and analytics are collected and normalized across the cloud infrastructure. It will also look at how security operations are managed and executed in this ever-changing environment.

Integrating Security Across Your Cloud

The number of security vulnerabilities discovered over the last few years has rapidly increased. 2018 was a record setting year with a total of 14,760 – more than double the amount from just 2 years earlier. In addition, many of the recent breaches have been due to known software vulnerabilities that had a patch available but had not yet been applied by the organization leaving them dangerously exposed. Identifying vulnerabilities, knowing which ones pose the greatest risk, and performing remediation is a major challenge for many organizations.

Please join us for a special webcast where we will discuss and demo how to quickly and efficiently identify, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities using Symantec Control Compliance Suite Vulnerability Manager.
