Machine learning in cybersecurity

For a dynamic and powerful security platform, machine learning (ML)-based tools can be an essential element. The technology can be used in a variety of tasks, such as detecting malware and network anomalies, categorizing user behavior, prioritizing vulnerabilities and threats, and also accurately predicting future attacks. Additionally, their use can help improve model risk, streamline threat classification – and even accurately predict immediate and potential attacks. In addition, ML-based automation relieves employees by minimizing manual effort. So ML has a lot…

Fake Europcar hack

At the end of January, alleged data from around 50 million Europcar customers was offered in an underground forum. Europcar reacted quickly and denied that it was a real file. The data is neither consistent nor are the email addresses in particular known to Europcar. While Europcar suggested that this data was generated using generative AI (e.g. ChatGPT), other security researchers are of the opinion that no AI was at work here. What they all have in common, however, is the opinion that this data was generated by machines. Suspicions quickly arose in the forum too...

Asking the right questions

“Predictions are difficult, especially when they concern the future.” This statement, which has been attributed to either the American author Mark Twain or the German comedian Karl Valentin, can easily be applied to cyber security. In our industry, it is sometimes even difficult to predict what will happen in the next 30 seconds - let alone twelve months. My colleagues and I believe that it is more productive to forego (more or less vague) forecasts and instead ask (difficult and unpleasant) questions - in order to generate new ways of thinking...

Password-free security

Passwords represent a high security risk for companies. Through password theft, attackers can often penetrate company systems unnoticed and cause a lot of damage. Passwordless authentication is therefore trending. CyberArk shows what companies should pay attention to during implementation, especially with regard to the IAM solution used. Everyone knows it: Creating a new password is an annoying process because, for example, it has to be at least eight characters long and contain upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters. But it's a necessary evil since passwords are still one of the most popular targets for attackers...

90 percent of companies pay ransoms

90 percent of companies have paid ransoms in the last two years in order to quickly get their data back after cyber attacks, close leaks and maintain operations. This is shown by a study by Censuswide on behalf of Cohesity, a global provider of AI-powered data management and security. According to the survey, 93 percent of the international companies surveyed want to continue to pay ransoms in the event of a security attack and violate their “do-not-pay” guidelines in an emergency. Only 1 percent of companies categorically rule out paying ransoms. 35 percent of companies…

Do companies even get cyber insurance? - KI MS

Cyber ​​insurance is not just a question of company strategy, but also whether you get it at all. The new Sophos guide to cyber insurance helps management and IT managers in companies better understand the cyber insurance market. After all, there are unavoidable requirements that must be met in order to ensure that insurance is as economical as possible. Companies often secure additional technical security through cyber insurance. Behind this strategy is, on the one hand, the knowledge of the danger of possibly backward in-house security and, on the other hand, a business calculation on the part of the management team. Every second company affected by attacks Sure…
