A Belgian security researcher has discovered a "serious weakness" in the WPA2 security protocols used to encrypt many WiFi communications. Attackers can exploit the flaws to eavesdrop as well as potentially inject code such as malware or ransomware into WiFi-connected systems. Prepare for patches.
A hacker exploited an unpatched, 12-month-old flaw in a small Australian defense contractor's IT help desk and stole data for the country's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program, among other secrets, the Australian government has warned.
Advanced threats are overwhelming both IT organizational bandwidth and the capabilities of legacy antivirus tactics, particularly as the increasing number of endpoint devices used by employees expands attack surfaces.

Single-target attacks are not 'one size fits all' - they require specialized knowledge and detailed information on the target. Targeted attacks are also dynamic, able to change their behavior and digital 'appearance' during the course of an attack.
It's not a surprise then that many enterprises have already been...
Researchers in Australia says they've conquered a thorny problem: how to view information stored on multiple air-gapped networks at the same time without security or usability concerns. They've created a device, called the Cross Domain Desktop Compositor, that's been tested by the Australian Department of Defense.
Yes, malware commonly targets the Windows operating system. But if you limit malware analysis to Windows OS, you're leaving gaping vulnerabilities, says Christopher Kruegel of Lastline Inc. Here's how to maximize your analysis.
Modern enterprises are in the midst of a digital revolution, adapting to the demands of Business 2.0. They are looking to embrace new business opportunities, expand into new markets, and propose new product offerings, as well as be more agile in responding to existing demands. This transformation relies on digital...
Today's FIs face a breadth of consumer demands, competitive threats and security and fraud risks. Acquiring and retaining consumers in a fiercely competitive marketplace flooded with waves of non-traditional players requires a consumer-centric digital strategy. The key enabler for an effective digital strategy is...
Contrary to common assumption, "advanced malware" is not a singular type of superior malicious code or harmful object that can that compromises systems, harvests data or damages corporate networks. Rather, this term describes sophisticated behavior and evasion capabilities that certain strands of malware possess which...
Finding an effective breach prevention provider is critical in order to safeguard an organization's assets. NSS Labs subjected nine cybersecurity market leaders to comprehensive, rigorous testing to determine how well each product handled current advanced threats and attack methods. All vendor products were evaluated...
The 30-year-old protocol used by motor vehicle sensors to communicate may have to be rewritten following a proof-of-concept "error flooding" attack that can disable airbags, parking sensors and safety systems.
As digital threats grow more numerous and perpetrators become savvier, you can't defend your network by taking the traditional, physical approach to IT security. Standard perimeter firewalls aren't designed to protect your critical workloads once an attack makes it inside the data center, and the "firewall-everything"...
Traditional approaches to securing data centers have focused on strong perimeter defenses to keep threats outside the network. Once attackers are inside, it's difficult to stop them.

The latest statistics on data center breaches show that perimeter firewalls are still not impenetrable. But what cyber criminals count on is what they will find beyond the perimeter - a hardware-centric security model that has remained unchanged for years.

Traditional perimeter-centric data center security strategies are no longer effective against today's malicious and highly sophisticated attacks. While tremendous effort, resources, and technology are applied to securing the perimeter of the data center, until recently, nothing resembling that same level of thought...
