Poor results reflect that (87%) of US defense contractors are failing to meet basic cybersecurity regulation requirements, according to research commissioned by CyberSheath. The survey of 300 US-based Department of Defense (DoD) contractors found that just 13% of respondents have a Supplier Risk Performance System (SPRS) score of 70 or above.

Die Zahl der DDoS-Attacken nimmt weiter zu, ebenso deren Intensität. Die Täter sind global vernetzt und agieren mit zunehmender Geschicklichkeit und Professionalität. Die Dark-Web-Underground-Economy wächst und stellt eine kriminelle, globale Parallelökonomie dar, die primär auf finanziellen Profit aus ist. Haupttreiber des Profits ist
They say, “Common Sense is Instinct; Enough of it - Genius.” Let us prove a path toward cyber brilliance. Cybersecurity hygiene has never been as important as it is today. At home workers are now doing business remotely, putting in more hours and dealing with new situations they have never experienced. For many, this change is both stressful and distracting.
