It’s time to focus on the bigger picture. An organization’s attack surface is the total sum of all vulnerabilities in a device or network that an attacker can exploit to gain access and compromise the system or environment. The aim is to keep the attack surface as small as possible and to actively manage all ...

Cyber attacks are increasing in frequency, sophistication, and effectiveness. The ongoing trend of successful attacks demonstrates that cybersecurity practices are not keeping pace with modern threats. Is your organization well-defended, or living on borrowed time? Here are ten signs to help you determine whether your endpoint protection is primed for action or ready for retirement.

With one report after another suggesting that cybercriminals have overrun corporate defences, it’s easy to believe marketing hype suggesting that endpoint security is dead – and that cybersecurity is all about how quickly you can respond to the inevitable breach.

Today’s advanced cyber threats target every computer and mobile device, including enterprise endpoints, especially those that make up critical infrastructure like industrial control systems and embedded devices that control much of our physical world. The modern computing landscape consists of a complex array of physical, mobile, cloud, and virtual computing, creating a vast attack surface. ...

According to Forrester, traditional approaches to endpoint security have become outdated and less effective as cyberthreats have increased in both number and complexity. To battle the ever-increasing threats, security professionals are now turning to new endpoint security technologies to either augment or replace their failing antimalware solutions. Below are the key trends in endpoint security, ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a security industry term that is now so broadly and loosely applied, it’s become almost meaningless. Now that every product boasts AI capabilities, security decision makers are becoming cynical, even in the face of the most exciting innovation shaping cybersecurity today.

Anti-Malware Testing for Dummies, authored by modern cybersecurity testing experts, provides the first vendor-neutral process for safely and efficiently testing endpoint protection products in-house in order to empower the best possible security purchasing decisions.

Cylance engaged SE Labs to independently assess CylancePROTECT’s ability to predict and prevent previously unknown threats. SE Labs pitted the May 2015 version of CylancePROTECT® — without a cloud connection or updates — against some of the most destructive and disruptive threats that appeared between 2016 and 2018, after the model was trained and deployed.

A common criticism of computer security products is that they can only protect against known threats. When new attacks are detected and analysed security companies produce updates based on this new knowledge, which can then be applied to endpoint, network and cloud security software and services. But in the time between detection of the attack ...

The reactive nature of information security has led to the creation of multi-layered, inefficient, and ineffective solutions. Security providers have embraced a philosophy of inevitable data breaches which fosters a culture of mediocrity and apathy. Misplaced public trust allows the AV sector to fail while avoiding the downside of standard market forces. Since IT security ...
