How to Think Like an Attacker

It’s one thing to know your attackers. It’s another to emulate some of their techniques so you can improve your own enterprise defenses. Craig Harber, CTO of Fidelis Cybersecurity, is an advocate of this “think like an attacker” defensive strategy.

“By understanding what attackers are doing, we can use that to essentially change our defensive posture,” Harber says. “By understanding the scenarios or sequences they go through, we can actually start predicting an attack before it’s fully occurred.”

The Growing Security Stack, and Why It’s Not Being Used To Its Full Potential

Despite an accelerated proliferation of cyber-threats, and ever-expanding attack vectors for organisations to consider, many security teams continue to work with outdated, complicated and inefficient security infrastructures.

Indeed, some procurements contain more than ten different categories of cybersecurity technologies from multiple vendors.

Automation is now No. 1 for SecOps: How to put it to work on your team

Security automation has become a top concern for many organizations. That trend was revealed in a recent survey of 300 CISOs, CIOs, CTOs, architects, engineers, and analysts across a variety of industries by the threat detection and hunting company Fidelis Cybersecurity.

The security challenge posed by modern medical devices

Over the past decade, the use of Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare has gone from an innovation reserved for the most advanced research centres and hospitals to being widely adopted at healthcare facilities across the country. With the rollout of IoT only looking to accelerate in the coming years, it is therefore crucial that they realise that such devices, despite their ability to yield useful telemetry about patient status, require more robust methods to protect them from being compromised. With lacking agent technology, that is often too customised to scale, unique methods such as ‘deception’ will prove to be increasingly useful.

For Cybersecurity to Be Proactive, Terrains Must Be Mapped

As in any battle, understanding and exploiting the terrain often dictates the outcome.

The best prevention capabilities don’t lead to the best cybersecurity. The trouble is, most security teams don’t even have a full understanding of the terrain they’re trying to defend, which makes it impossible to move to a more effective, proactive cybersecurity posture.

Six Tips to Make Your Network More Manageable

An unsecured network can never be considered fully manageable. The proliferation of connected devices, coupled with a vanishing perimeter and an ever-changing threat landscape, complicates an already complex security environment, noted Craig Harber, CTO of Fidelis Cybersecurity, a threat protection and response technologies provider.
