Cybersecurity responsibilities can’t fall on security teams alone. But how do other stakeholders—like professionals in HR, sales and legal—contribute to the security posture of your organization?

Created by NICE (the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education, a NIST program), this article outlines what each member of an organization should do based on the types of work they perform.

Read on this article to learn:

• How to build a cyber-secure culture at your organization
• Best practices for leadership, marketing, IT and more
• Insights for organizational leaders on making a positive cybersecurity impact

The reason cyber security effectiveness seems elusive is because information technology has fragmented into on-premises networks, public and private clouds, SaaS/IaaS, and mobile environments. Protecting this broad threat surface with point solutions leaves cyber security gaps. In addition, 5th generation multi-vector cyber attacks spread faster and inflict more damage. The only way to prevent sophisticated attacks is with consolidated Gen V cyber-security architecture that future-proofs your IT infrastructure across all networks, cloud and mobile.

In this article, Prevent Cyber Attacks Before they Happen with Check Point Infinity you learn how Gen V security counteracts IT fragmentation by delivering superior advanced threat prevention and unified management simultaneously across seven key areas:

• Known Threats
• Advanced and Unknown Threats
• Preemptive Protection
• Endpoints
• Mobile
• Cloud
• Future-proof

Data centers are truly the life blood of many organizations – whether on-premises or in the cloud –providing access to information and applications that characterise that enterprise. As data centers have become more central and valuable, so too has the job of securing them from cyberattacks. To date, many data centers have followed the familiar path of network security, honing to the perimeter. Unfortunately, this approach leaves serious security gaps, as evident by the proliferation of successful attacks against data center environments.

In today’s heightened cyber threat landscape, the traditional data center security model of perimeter controls and detection-based models does not prevent sophisticated attacks on virtualized IT infrastructure or the OT firmware and software that supports it. That’s because threat prevention technologies are often focused on detecting an initial compromise rather than stopping an attack. They are also heavily reliant on resource-intensive monitoring, which does little to truly reduce risk.

“It’s not a matter of if you will be attacked — it’s when.”

There’s good reason that’s an increasingly common battle cry among cyber security professionals: Fresh digital security threats continually emerge from new and unexpected sources. Just consider the sudden spread of viruses like WannaCry and Petya/NotPetya, the expansion of ransomware threats, the growth in coin mining and cryptojacking attacks, and the success of malicious living off the land (LOTL) attacks such as PowerShell intrusions.

Read on this article to learn how to prevent and respond to advanced threats including cryptojacking, fileless attacks, and ransomware.

In 2019, targeted intrusion adversaries will continue to conduct campaigns as part of their nation-state’s national strategies. China, Russia, Iran, and the DPRK are seeking geopolitical prominence, both in their respective regions and internationally, and they will use their cyber capabilities to attain and maintain situational awareness of their neighbors and rivals. Entities in the government, defense, think tank and NGO sectors will continue to be the targets of these operations. These intrusions will likely be supported by the targeting of upstream providers in the telecommunications and technology (particularly managed service providers) sectors, and may include supply chain compromises, as was observed in 2017.

The impact of a 5th generation cyber-attack can be devastating to an organization. To combat today’s multi-vector mega-attacks, organizations must be proactive by utilizing advanced technologies that can prevent even the most evasive zero-day attacks. WannaCry and NotPetya introduced the 5th generation of malware. They demonstrated how multi-vector mega attacks can spread quickly from business to business across oceans and continents. Enterprise networks and cloud services as well as desktop and mobile endpoints are all targets of 5th generation attack campaigns. No industry or sector is immune.

Prevention starts now. In this article, you’ll learn:

• The top 5 principles of cyber attack prevention.
• How to protect all IT elements (networks and environments) with an effective and consolidated security architecture.
• The cyber security technologies and strategies that prevent 5th generation cyber attacks.
• How real advanced threat prevention blocks attacks before damage occurs.

Prevention is the key to defending against today’s advanced cyber attacks. Read on this article for a clear understanding of today’s 5th generation threats and the Gen V solutions purpose-built to stop them, to learn how you can protect your organization against cyber threats with Infinity security architecture.

With the Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) taking effect on May 25, 2018, and the passage of a new consumer privacy law going live in California on January 1, 2020, governments are specifying penalties for organizations that fail to prevent data breaches. It’s safe to assume that further legislation is not far behind.
