Yes, malware commonly targets the Windows operating system. But if you limit malware analysis to Windows OS, you're leaving gaping vulnerabilities, says Christopher Kruegel of Lastline Inc. Here's how to maximize your analysis.
One common limitation of malware analysis is that organizations focus too much of their...
Spear phishing is the common trigger to many of the most popular - and successful - targeted attacks. How can organizations improve their defenses? Jon Clay of Trend Micro tells how to better spot and stop spear phishing.
Organizations must consider using privileged access controls throughout their entire "stack" of applications, as well as during the app development stages, says Andy Givens of CyberArk.
Traditional identity and access management (IAM) controls, though extensive, are static. Once a malicious user gains access, they are free to exploit the system up to the extent of the account's set privileges.

The digital transformation has created a whole new set of attack surfaces that must be defended, in addition to the existing infrastructure you've been protecting for years. So how can you ensure your hybrid environments, administrative power, and automation tools are not exploited by an attacker?

The security model deployed by credit and debit card systems is significantly different than traditional corporate data security solutions. You may think the difference is Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards. However, they are primarily best practices. PCI is not what makes payment card security special.

As the threat landscape continues to evolve, you need a practical and robust way to protect privileged access in your enterprise. Analytics that detect new threats and automatically mitigate them are a great way to achieve this.
Download this whitepaper and learn key steps to utilizing threat analytics such as how...
According to Verizon, 81% of hacking-related breaches involve either stolen and/or weak passwords. By eliminating multiple passwords and individual application log-ins, Single Sign-On (SSO) not only improves security posture, but significantly increases IT efficiency and user productivity.
While Single Sign-On...
It's frightening what criminals can buy on the dark web. But it's even scarier that they may be buying your own security certificates to use against you. Venafi recently sponsored a six-month investigation into the sale of digital code signing certificates on the dark web. Conducted with the Cyber Security Research...
Our increased dependence on machines is so profound that even the definition of machine is undergoing radical change. The number and type of physical devices on enterprise networks has been rising rapidly, but this is outstripped by the number of applications and services they host.
At the same time, cloud adoption...
Identity and Access Management (IAM) programs are becoming increasingly essential to securing critical systems and data; last year, companies spent $7 billion on IAM, most on protecting user credentials, but almost nothing protecting keys and certificates, the credentials that identify and authorize machine-to-machine...
As certificate counts within the average organization rise to tens of thousands, it has become exponentially harder to manage them effectively. Many organizations turn to their certificate authorities (CAs) to protect the keys and certificates that each CA issues. The basic tools CAs provide are certainly a step up...
Is your organization exposed to an attack that misuses SSH keys?
You know that your organization is using SSH to safeguard privileged access. But you may not realize that your SSH keys could be vulnerable to insider and cyber threats.
The majority of those we surveyed didn't. Results from a 2017 study show that...
A recently published 2017 survey of over 400 security professionals in the U.S., U.K. and Germany measured how well their organizations implemented security controls for SSH keys. The results show that most organizations are underprepared to protect against SSH-based attacks, with fewer than half following industry...
Take control of your SSH keys to minimize your risk of intrusion
SSH keys provide the highest level of access rights and privileges for servers, applications and virtual instances. Cyber criminals want this trusted status and invest considerable resources into acquiring and using SSH keys in their attacks.
Even...
