Carbonite and Webroot, OpenText companies, provide comprehensive cloud-based cyber resilience solutions, such as endpoint protection, DNS protection, end user training, backup, and threat intelligence for businesses, individuals, and MSPs.

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.

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.
