Ransomware: Backup alone is not a security strategy

Many companies think their data backup protects them against ransomware. The enticingly simple logic behind it: If you can restore all the data, you are not open to blackmail. By Ali Carl Gülerman, CEO and General Manager, Radar Cyber ​​Security. However, this is too short-sighted: Even if the system was successfully restored after an attack, sensitive information such as customer data or intellectual property could have been stolen. In addition, the risk of attack remains: Hackers can still be in the network or gain access again by installing a back door. In some cases, ransomware is used by cybercriminals as a red herring, ...

Ransomware attacks are becoming increasingly tricky. In addition to classic data encryption, attackers also look specifically for backups. With the right strategy, these attacks will come nowhere. In 2020, the cost of ransomware attacks was more than $ 20 billion - more than twice as much as two years earlier. The average cost of downtime was $ 283.000 - per injured party. While ransomware attacks used to be widely spread and carried out without a defined target, there are now much more precise attacks in which the ransomware attack is sometimes only part of the attack….

On the trail of insider risk

Be it cyber attacks or the theft of sensitive data - the majority of companies recognize attacks from outside as a real danger. However, as the current Cyber ​​Security study by IDG market research shows, only just under 20 percent of the organizations surveyed rate insider risks as a threat. A mistake that can cause great damage. As part of its "1×1 of IT security" series, Microsoft explains how companies protect themselves from insider threats. According to the Cyber ​​Security study, 55 percent of the organizations surveyed in the DA-CH region have been victims of data theft by former or current employees. To go to a…

Design principles of IT security

For IT security managers, an abrupt change from office to fully remote operation must feel like moving from a solid walled villa to the Wild West. Traditional limits of on-premises operation and thus also the control that it offers no longer exist. In the home office, users more or less control devices and software themselves. And that is where the difficulties for IT admins begin. The area to be secured increases suddenly. Just one click on a malicious email attachment, surfing a website with malware, an open WiFi network or an unsecured device, ...

EDR: Commissioner Threat Hunter

People are still the most important factor in preventing and defending against cyber attacks. No cyber security can fend off every attack and close every gap. Many organizations rely on increasingly sophisticated defense technologies. But as is so often the case, the attackers are one step ahead of IT security - because they know the defense tools inside and out and therefore know every loophole, no matter how small. So technology alone is not enough. It is all the more important that companies proactively position themselves with the help of experts, recognize risks in advance and, in an emergency, damage as quickly as ...

A plea for building a long-term cybersecurity strategy. No wonder - many CISOs and CIOs are mainly concerned with fending off the attacks that are taking place at the moment, instead of looking at the constantly evolving threat landscape in the long term. With a comprehensive and long-term cybersecurity strategy, companies would be much more effectively equipped against future attacks. This is despite the multitude of ...

The SophosLabs have uncovered a new hacking strategy. Apparently confused attack methods should let security mechanisms run nowhere. But the forensic scientists at SophosLabs are on to them and have recently unmasked a new method of attack. A new attack method has hit the net for the specialists at SophosLabs. Security experts Fraser Howard and Andrew O'Donnell came across an unusual variant in their hunt for new threats.
