Attacked once, victimized multiple times: Data marketplaces are making it easier for threat actors to find and use data exfiltrated during ransomware attacks in follow-up attacks.

What issues are cybersecurity professionals concerned about in 2022? You tell us!

While attackers continue to rely on older, unpatched vulnerabilities, many are jumping on new vulnerabilities as soon as they are disclosed.

Two mostly defunct threats — WannaCry and NonPetya — top the list of ransomware searches, but does that mean they are still causing problems?

Even as more attacks target humans, lack of dedicated staff, relevant skills, and time are making it harder to develop a security-aware and engaged workforce, SANS says.

Organizations may not frequently encounter malware targeting cloud systems or networking equipment, but the array of malware they do encounter just occasionally is no less disruptive or damaging. That is where the focus needs to be.

Security teams — who are already fighting off malware challenges — are also facing renewed attacks on cloud assets and remote systems.

Someone interested in putting together a ransomware campaign has to consider several factors. The LockBit group touts its speed over competing families to attract potential buyers for its ransowmare-as-a-service.

Supply chain and ransomware attacks increased dramatically in 2021, which explains why so many data breaches in Verizon's "2022 Data Breach Investigations Report" were grouped as system intrusion.

For most of us, passwords are the most visible security control we deal with on a regular basis, but we are not very good at it.

Security, cost, and reliability top the list of concerns IT teams have about their cloud operations, according to a recent report.

A large number of enterprise applications are affected by the vulnerability in Log4j, but adversaries aren't just looking for the most common applications. They are looking for targets that are easier to exploit and/or have the biggest payoff.

Upgrading and fixing the vulnerability in the Spring Framework doesn't seem to have the same level of urgency or energy as patching the Log4j library did back in December.

Ransomware typically relies on malware downloaders and other delivery mechanisms. Detecting and removing precursor malware improves the odds that a ransomware attack has been blocked.

Of the top 10 Trojans targeting Android devices, downloaders and infostealers accounted for 87% of detections in February, Bitdefender says.
