Private equity firm Vector Capital invested $100 million in Malwarebytes a month after the antivirus stalwart laid off 125 employees to focus on smaller customers. The funds will help the vendor reduce clients' attack surfaces and accelerate momentum with MSPs and channel partners.
Darktrace's Cybersprint acquisition allowed the cybersecurity AI vendor to move from focusing solely on internal threats to also defending the external attack surface, Nicole Eagan says. The company says AI will give an outside-in view of the victim and simulate how the attacker will behave.
CrowdStrike has purchased external attack surface management startup Reposify to help organizations detect and eliminate risk from vulnerable and unknown assets. This deal will allow CrowdStrike to combine its insights on endpoints and IT environments with Reposify's internet-scanning capabilities.
Gartner estimates that less than 10% of organizations have adopted one or more attack surface assessment (ASA) technologies to address their attack surface. ASA provides a more comprehensive view of an organization’s asset inventory, including unknowns.

ASM vendors recognize that most organizations can’t keep up with the rapid changes within their attack surface, robust discovery is a ubiquitous feature of all ASM solutions. From the discovery phase to the reporting and alerting phase, it’s clear that this field has matured rapidly to fill in the gaps.

The opportunist attacker can find potential victims by simply scanning the internet for assets or services exposed to accidents or misconfigurations. According to our data, risks and exposures are persistent because modern attack surfaces are inherently dynamic, moving, and growing. All too often, this means without...
Tech and security leaders have no idea how many cloud services are being used to store sensitive data. Enterprises need continual enumeration of cloud weaknesses and misconfigurations to reduce the risk of data breaches and privacy failures.

New malware variants are being developed at breakneck speeds, each more sophisticated and devastating than the last. On top of that, successful threats are being commodified by initial access brokers (IAB) and sold as-a-service. Threats are propagating faster than ever with stealthy evasion techniques coded in,...
The traditional security monitoring architecture has been troubling security teams with data silos, performance issues, and delays in retrieving archived data for years.

In this episode of "Cybersecurity Unplugged," Mark Cristiano of Rockwell Automation discusses Rockwell's cybersecurity journey, the particular challenges of deploying cybersecurity in an OT environment, and the minimum and proper industrial protections that organizations need to have in place.
Thoma Bravo halted efforts to buy publicly traded cybersecurity AI vendor Darktrace this week after the two sides failed to agree on the terms of the buyout. The private equity giant walked away from what would have been its third take-private cybersecurity acquisition of 2022.
In the latest "Proof of Concept," VP and CISO Nicole Darden Ford shares findings from Rockwell Automation's new survey report on cybersecurity preparedness in critical infrastructure, OT security gaps, the state of critical infrastructure, and insights into preparedness and best practices.
A recent survey sponsored by Rockwell Automation finds that critical infrastructure organizations miss basic protections for operational technology, with 80% failing to conduct frequent asset inventory audits, 63% lacking real-time threat monitoring and 42% needing effective patch management.
Cymulate has raised $70 million to strengthen its presence in new areas such as attack surface management and continuous automated red teaming. The company plans to deepen its wallet share among midmarket customers by working more closely with managed security service providers.
