| Sophos, Stories

A Sophos study shows: The number of security incidents caused by home office increased in just under half of the companies surveyed in Germany. At the same time, however, the effort and costs for IT security increased - and thus possibly also protection against cyber criminals. With the beginning of the corona pandemic, companies made it possible for their employees to work from home and work on the move. The number of cyber attacks has demonstrably increased during this time, and there were many indications that this was particularly due to this short-term, organized, decentralized way of working by employees. At least this is what most of the reports on this topic suggest.

Sophos registers the scans for Log4j vulnerabilities worldwide and the countries from which many exploits come: China and Russia. The findings show two heatmaps. Sean Gallagher, Senior Threat Researcher at Sophos “Sophos continues to monitor scans for Log4j vulnerabilities. In the past, we've seen large spikes and then sharp drops in such scans and exploit attempts.

| Sophos, Stories

Companies that prepare intensively for a cyber attack have significantly less to contend with the consequences of the attacks. Much is already gained in having an incident response (IR) plan. Cybersecurity is mainly focused on prevention. And the best way to do that is through learning from incidents. Nevertheless, it happens time and again that companies are attacked. In such a case, the point is to minimize the damage and learn as much as possible from known experiences. So what is the "best practice"? With a…
