The Nastiest Malware of 2022

Ransomware 2022, (a three-part series) explores ransomware, how businesses and individuals are attacked, and what they can do to address this surging form of cybercrime.

In this episode, we examine the defenses against ransomware’s rampaging success. While there may be no single point of entry for defending against attacks, we’ll lay out how a suite of cyber resilience solutions can even the odds if (when) a security layer is penetrated.

Ransomware 2022 Episode 3: Resilience against Ransomware

Ransomware 2022, (a three-part series) explores ransomware, how businesses and individuals are attacked, and what they can do to address this surging form of cybercrime.

In Episode 2, our experts chart the rise of ransomware - from offers to “help” individuals clean up their computers to a multi-billion-dollar worldwide racket. They examine the advances in internet technology that made it possible and the specific security lapses that lead to individual victims being compromised.

Ransomware 2022 Episode 2: The Rise of Ransomware

In the last year, we witnessed many shifts across the threat landscape. From faster time to deployment of ransomware to an uptick in social engineering tactics, malicious actors made leaps and bounds. Knowing how these shifts impact your business and your data is important.

Webroot's 2022 Threat Report

Ransomware 2022 (a three-part series) explores how businesses and individuals are attacked, and what they can do to address this surging form of cybercrime.

In the opening episode, we learn how and why small and mid-sized businesses mistakenly think they aren’t a focus of attacks, and why that’s a fundamental misunderstanding in the targeting process.

Ransomware 2022 Episode 1: How Ransomware Sneaks In

Cyber resilience can be an intimidating topic for any business, but the risk of a cyber attack is higher than ever. It is critical for companies to take action to lower their cyber risks, or potentially face crippling business disruptions: 1/3 of companies that experienced a ransomware incident reported business disruption of a week or longer, while 75% of companies that encountered a highly visible ransomware incident required post-incident steps to assess and, as warranted, improve their company’s data protection and recovery practices. 

To help organizations get ahead of potential cyberattacks, this IDC eBook, sponsored by Webroot + Carbonite, presents a six-step cyber resilience framework based on foundational industry principles that outlines the steps that businesses can take to strengthen their cyber resilience.

In this webinar, IDC analyst Michael Suby engages BrightCloud’s Matt Aldridge in a discussion of this six-step cyber resilience framework and explores the role of threat intelligence in boosting security efficacy. This conversation covers trends in the current threat landscape, new forms of cyber attacks attributed to the Russia-Ukraine war, and highlights ways that advanced machine-learning models can be leveraged to produce timely, accurate, and contextual threat intelligence to combat zero-day threats. 

There is no need to roll the dice and only partially address cybersecurity risks. Turning the framework and insights presented in this eBook into action provides a blueprint to lower your cyber risks and to avoid becoming the next victim.

Cybersecurity Resiliency Framework Built on a Foundation of Threat Intelligence

Cyber resilience can be an intimidating topic for any business. But the risk of cyber attack is higher than ever, and it is critical for companies to take action to lower their cyber risks or potentially face crippling business disruptions: a third of companies that experienced a ransomware incident reported business disruption of a week or longer.

This IDC eBook, sponsored by Carbonite + Webroot, provides an overview of cyber resilience and explains why you should care about it. Seventy-five percent of companies that encountered a highly visible ransomware incident required post-incident steps to assess and, as warranted, improve their company’s data protection and recovery practices. To help organizations get ahead of potential cyberattacks, IDC has developed a six-step cyber resilience framework based on foundational industry principles that outlines the steps that businesses can take to strengthen their cyber resilience. The eBook presents two options companies can follow on their path to cyber resilience: do-it-yourself and/or in partnership with a managed services provider. The eBook also covers details that business leaders, employees assigned cybersecurity oversight and managed services providers should consider as they assess cyber resilience within their organizations or prospects. There is no need to roll the dice and only partially address cybersecurity risks. Turning the framework and insights presented in this eBook into action provides a blueprint to lower your cyber risks and to avoid becoming the next victim.

The Domain Name System (DNS) translates individual IP addresses to the URLs we recognize when browsing the web. The technology that enables it has undergone relatively little change since it was first invented in the 1980s. Until now…
It’s successor—DNS over HTTPs or DoH—was recently endorsed by the NSA for its privacy benefits. But many businesses don’t know how to implement it and are unaware of the security sacrifices it can entail without the proper precautions.
In this webinar, DNS expert Jonathan Barnett will unpack the technology powering DoH and how the right DNS protection can enhance privacy without sacrificing security. For your business and clients’ sake, you won’t want to miss it.

CompTIA’s IT Industry Outlook 2020 provides insight into the trends shaping the industry, its workforce, and its business models. Because trends do not occur in a vacuum, the report provides context through market sizing, workforce sizing, and other references to supporting data. The interrelated nature of technology – where elements of infrastructure, software, data and services come together, means trends tend to unfold in a step-like manner. A breakthrough may lead to a notable advance, which may then be followed by what could be perceived as lateral movement as the other inputs catch-up. Some of the trends highlighted in this report focus on an early stage facet of a trend, while others recognize a trend moving beyond “buzzword” to reaching a certain stage of market-ready maturity. As such, the timing of trend impact may vary from reader to reader depending on company type, role, or country.
