Organizations care about data privacy, but their priorities appear to be different from what their customers think are important.

CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog has become a valuable repository of vulnerabilities to be patched. A pair of reports analyze the vulnerabilities under attack to understand the kind of threats organizations should be prioritizing.

Aiming to give threat hunters a list of popular attack tactics, a cybersecurity team analyzed collections of real-world threat data to find attackers' most popular techniques.

Deloitte's Future of Cyber study highlights the fact that cybersecurity is an essential part of business success and should not be limited to just mitigating IT risks.

Almost a third of respondents in Fastly's "Fight Fire with Fire" survey view data breaches and data loss as the biggest cybersecurity threat.

Why bother with new tactics and exploits when the old tricks are still effective?

What's it going to take to prod organizations to implement a post-quantum security plan? Legislative pressure.

IT has to get its hands around cloud data sprawl. Another area of focus should be on ghost data, as it expands the organization's cloud attack surface.

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.
