While Apple gets headlines for discovering zero-days, today’s columnist, Ed Bellis of Kenna Security, says true zero-days are rare. Bellis says the vast majority of vulnerabilities are patched before CVE publication. However, in the rare case when exploits predate the availability of a patch, attackers get a 47-day head start – and that’s something security teams need to focus on.
Last fall we discussed what security data do I really need to collect and analyze. We know we don’t need it all, but this was only the sensor part of the discussion. Now that we have that data identified and those sensors in place, what brain do I need to collect and analyze it? There […]
The news is flooded with updates regarding the COVID-19 vaccine. Cyberattacks are targeting the vaccine supply chain. Phishing attacks are exploiting sign-ups for the vaccine.
