In today’s cyber threat landscape, no single technology can universally fight every attack. Cyber threats are becoming more advanced, and adversaries are more skilled in exploiting vulnerabilities. Sophos’ Active Adversary Report for Tech Leaders found the overall median dwell time was just eight days in the first half of 2023, decreasing from 10 days in 2022, suggesting threat actors are speeding up and advancing their attacks.
Preventing the most advanced attacks requires human-led threat hun
As October is winding down, we turn our focus to Training. October 2023 marks the 20th annual Cybersecurity Awareness Month. While it was initially founded as a national movement in the US, Cybersecurity Awareness Month has since grown into a global initiative. And for good reason. Today's cybersecurity market is suffering from a skills gap of 3.4 million trained professionals, with security practitioners being overwhelmed by a continuous onslaught of increasingly sophisticated attacks while
The human element is near and dear to my heart in the world of Cyber Security. As cyberattacks intensify, more and more organizations recognize the need to have a strong security culture for all employees. This cyber-aware workforce is a necessary addition to a skilled and knowledgeable security team and the use of advanced cybersecurity solutions. Employees who know how to practice good cyber hygiene are increasingly seen as a crucial line of defense.
Bolstering cyber defenses will be import
It is a worrying fact that, while digital technology is transforming both our personal lives and our interactions with companies and government, it is also making us increasingly susceptible to fraud and other crimes. According to the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Defense Agency, 47% of American adults have had their information exposed online from cyber criminals. There is no reason to suspect that the picture is much different elsewhere. Even those organizations that might be
After being in the law enforcement and security profession for over 30 years, I trust very few people. Maybe it’s just me, but I can be really rude on calls whom I don’t know calling my cell phone. I don’t subscribe to being like me, but the barrage of suspicious calls, text messages and emails I currently receive seems to have drastically escalated. All this harassment are social engineering tactics. A recent article in Forbes highlights the need to play as a team.

According to a recent report, cyber threat intelligence professionals believe they could not find private data leaked from their organizations on the dark web. Most security professionals in US organizations are concerned about threats from the dark web, a large portion still do not take risks from the criminal underground seriously. A recent survey shows that a third of people responsible for managing cyber vulnerabilities in their day-to-day work say they are not very concerned about threats
Cybersecurity is more than meets the eye. Proper security contains several layers, including adequate training and technology, to meet HIPAA compliance guidelines. Healthcare organizations are responsible for implementing robust cybersecurity strategies to prevent cyberattacks. The healthcare industry claims to prioritize cybersecurity efforts, yet 18% of organizations allocate only 1-2% of their IT budgets to cybersecurity. Covered entities who choose not to prioritize proper cybersecurity l
Later yesterday, the US based InfraGard National https://www.infragard.org/ provided a very valuable link to a Northeastern University site that provides COVID-19 information and prevention on-line training. Much of this information is provided through the support of John Hopkins University, Center for Disease Control and the World Health Organization. We here at Red Sky Alliance would like to provide this very valuable reliable reference source; as “Knowledge is Power.” Having the proper pr
