We reviewed a few prominent ransomware attacks to see how much these incidents really cost organizations. While security executives factor in the ransom and the cost of recovering data, there are additional expenses - like business lost due to downtime - that need to be considered.
The looming trade war with the U.S. could have prompted China to resume cyberespionage attacks against U.S. companies, violating a 2015 agreement that banned such campaigns. Does this mean that China has abandoned the deal, or will it once again honor the terms if the trade dispute is settled? We talked to Ross Rustici, Cybereason's Senior Director of Intelligence Services, to get his take.
Mario Duarte, vice president of security at Snowflake Computing, learned the importance of aligning security and the business very early in his career. As a 20-something new to security, he thought his keen technical skills would be enough to help him thrive. Then the dotcom bubble burst.

Under GDPR, once a breach is discovered, organizations have 72 hours to provide authorities with extensive details on the incident, including what type of data was stolen, who was impacted and what remediation measures are being taken. Here are the technical and procedural steps that companies should take to meet this deadline and avoid GDPR’s substantial fines.
Unit 8200, an elite division in the Israel Defense Forces, doesn't look for typical backgrounds when recruiting for security positions. Here's what the security industry can learn from this practice and how it can help ease the talent crunch.
The complete eradication of nuclear weapons and ICBMs from North Korea as a precondition for economic relief and other enticements creates an untenable position for Kim Jong-Un. Every step along the path to denuclearization reduces the regime’s ability to compel the U.S. to abide by its end of the bargain while increasing the U.S.’ ability to operate as it sees fit.
Nearly a year after the NotPetya and Wannacry attacks, ransomware is no longer used in widespread attacks against indiscriminate targets. Instead, attackers are using this malware in more focused, targeted campaigns.
Cybereason researchers have discovered new lateral movement techniques that abuse WMI. They also created a tool that lets analysts see the potential harm attackers could cause if they used these techniques.
