How Deception Helps Level the Cybersecurity Playing Field

When comparing the goals and capabilities of attackers and defenders, it is a sobering reality that defenders need to be successful 100% of the time, whereas attackers only need to be successful once. The current playing field is dramatically imbalanced in favor of attackers. With technology developments transitioning to business realities - including BYOD, virtualization, insider threats, cloud computing, IoT, and dependency on third party partners - the attack surfaces available to cyber criminals have been vastly expanded. At the same time, defenders have been challenged to try and adapt legacy security tools and approaches to protect these ever more complex and loosely defined infrastructures.

ROMAD - RObust MAlware Detector, a name and brand that truly capture the essence of our uniquely innovative approach to sustainable and reliable malware detection. Our patented threat detection methodology enables our products to identify, analyze, and develop detection profiles for entire viral families, as opposed to specific strains or individual variants. We detect what OTHERS MISS – because we’re not stuck in the perpetual arms race with malware developers, passively looking for their next creation just to figure out how to catch it next time.

Cross-Generational Security Of Mobile Telephony

whitePaper | August 4, 2022

Abstract— With the recent roll-outs of 5G networks and the rise of phones supporting the standard, it’s critical to examine the technical underpinnings of 5G system security. The fifth generation of 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) mobile telephony, the lack of understanding, outright hostility, and general confusion surrounding this roll-out is unmatched in the history of mobility. We aim to alleviate much of the confusion and hostility by providing an overarching description and security document.
