Read on for insights on emerging industry trends, the latest cybersecurity intelligence, and how to drive down total risk.
Resources
As every executive, IT manager, and security professional knows, defending against cyberattacks is complicated, painstaking, and costly. And the larger your system, the harder it gets. The number of attack paths grows exponentially with the number of entry points. Even worse, attacks come from actors with a wide range of technical abilities. Attackers don’t need rare skills, zero-day exploits, or nation-state backing to access your systems. They just need to take advantage of IT errors — which can be as simple as forgetting to change a policy. Anti-virus (AV) software, vulnerability (vuln) scans, and other endpoint tools certainly help you fight threats. But this kind of event-focused “threat hunting” has limitations. So it is not enough just to hunt for security threats. To best protect against cyberattacks, you should evaluate ALL of your system risk conditions, like application misconfiguration, mitigation misalignments, and inadvertent exposures. Next, you should rank those risks by financial and operational impacts. Then, finally, you should focus your IT resources on correcting the most critical problems. That is called risk hunting.

The nature of cyber risk is changing. No longer synonymous with IT issues or minor disruptions, cyber attacks are a massive business risk capable of wiping millions off the balance sheet overnight. But while cyber risk is becoming more consequential, it’s becoming less manageable. Consider what happened recently at two real companies:
The first is a major automotive manufacturer. They depend on a massive, global, just-in-time supply chain. It’s a well-organized, carefully managed operation, so when everything from the Covid-19 pandemic to the war in Ukraine made supplies harder to get, they knew how to respond.
Transformation was the RSAC theme for 2022. That makes perfect sense for a cybersecurity industry reaching a massive pivot point between past and future. What makes less sense, however, is how the conversations happening at this year’s conference related to the overall theme. The desire to transform from the audience standpoint is clear, question is, can the vendors deliver?
In so many ways, the speakers and vendors pitched ideas that sound new and novel until you take a closer look – a cutting edge that proves dull upon inspection. Behind these innovative products are a lot of familiar, well-worn concepts put in a different package and billed as transformative when in fact they do little to nothing that hasn’t been done before.
What is Exposure Management? The New Priority in Cybersecurity
The situation in the average security team looks something like this: multiple different systems
are sending off endless alarms, often to the point of overload. Each one has to be validated.
And provided it’s not yet another false positive, the team must leap into action…because
they’re already behind. First, they have to scramble to locate and understand the incoming
threat. Then, they have to predict its path and decide how to defend against it. Only then can
the real remediation effort begin – and it’s often too late to matter. No wonder so many teams
get burned out, so many attacks succeed, and so much about cybersecurity feels like it’s
getting worse. Read more…
