KnowBe4 Helps Organizations Battle QR Code Phishing Attacks With New Tool

PRWeb | May 23, 2023 | Read time : 05:00 min

KnowBe4 Helps Organizations Battle QR Code

KnowBe4, the provider of the world’s largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, today announced the launch of its new QR Code Phishing Security Test (QR Code PST) tool. The no-charge tool assists organizations in identifying users that are most susceptible to scanning malicious QR codes.

Many organizations are aware of the typical social engineering techniques used by bad actors such as phishing, spear phishing and impersonation, to manipulate employees and infiltrate systems. However, bad actors are now taking advantage of the rise in popularity of QR codes and are using them to launch targeted phishing attacks.

QR code phishing is a social engineering attack that includes a malicious link within a QR code that users are prompted to scan with their smartphones. According to QRTIGER, an online QR code generator company, dynamic QR code scans increased 433% globally from 2021 to 2022 and scans quadrupled in 2022 alone.

The malicious links in QR Codes take users to risky websites, execute malware or ransomware on their devices or steal information. In fact, last year the FBI released a warning that QR codes may be tampered with by cybercriminals to direct victims to malicious sites. This is also sometimes referred to as QRLjacking.

KnowBe4’s new QR Code PST helps manage the threat of malicious QR codes by identifying users who may scan these codes and expose an organization to vulnerabilities that have the potential to cause significant downtime and security breach risks. The new, complementary tool is available for immediate use for up to 100 users in 35 languages with additional feature options. Additionally, after being used the tool calculates an organization’s Phish-prone™ Percentage (PPP) — the number of end users who are prone to being phished.

“QR codes pose a unique cybersecurity threat because unlike traditional phishing, there is no URL to verify or way to confirm its legitimacy before scanning the code,” said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4. “As bad actors diversify their social engineering techniques, it is imperative that organizations educate their employees on the potential danger of QR codes. KnowBe4’s new QR Code Phishing Security Test is a great tool to use as a first step in determining how vulnerable an organization is to the threat of malicious QR codes. Training employees to be alert and to think twice before scanning, contributes towards strengthening an organization’s security culture and encourages a healthy level of skepticism.”

Cyolo Unveils Key Insights into OT Cybersecurity Threat Landscape from KuppingerCole and Releases Cyolo 4.3 for Enhanced Security

Business Wire | September 27, 2023

Today, Cyolo, provider of the fastest and most secure zero-trust access and connectivity solution for hybrid organizations with IT and OT, in partnership with KuppingerCole, released an industry analysis focused on zero trust and remote access for operational technology (OT) environments. The analysis reveals key insights about the OT cybersecurity threat landscape, outlines high-level security architecture for OT, critical infrastructure systems (CIS) and industrial control systems (ICS), and evaluates key requirements of security regulations and frameworks. OT environments experience the same kinds of threats as enterprise IT – including ransomware, account takeovers, APTs, and Supply Chains as vectors – while experiencing expanded OT-specific threats. While traditional IT security tools may be adapted, developing robust security architectures for OT environments is inherently complex compared to their IT counterparts. Its unique nature, from equipment and software to communication protocols requires dedicated OT security solutions. Cyolo can help organizations with OT infrastructure to define and manage access control to those complex environments, said John Tolbert, Lead Analyst at KuppingerCole. Overall key insights include: OT Threat Landscape. Heightened geopolitical factors have intensified attacks on OT and ICS, posing significant consequences ranging from operational disruptions and service denial to financial repercussions and potential harm to human well-being. Core Cybersecurity Regulations. The risks and consequences of cyber-attacks against critical infrastructure advanced regulations globally mandating secure architectures and technical controls. KRITIS and the follow-on IT Security Act 2.0 are related examples of such regulations, as well as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. OT Security Architectures and Key Functionalities. There are eight areas of functionality that are central to effective OT security architectures. Cybersecurity architectures for OT must address asset discovery, access control, IT security tool integration, detection and response capabilities, and OT protocol level threats. As the analysis breaks down, within critical infrastructure interruptions and downtime are not an option. To address the increasing need for secure access in OT environments, Cyolo introduced Cyolo 4.3, which expands key capabilities with more layers of security and making the product easier than ever to use for both administrators and end users in the industrial space. With Cyolo 4.3, industrial organizations will be able to extend their multi-factor authentication (MFA) across environments through an integration with Duo Security to support their physical tokens as required. Additionally, the company has implemented another layer of security for file transfer within the OT/ICS environment, through query anti-virus software to scan files before they are delivered to their destination. Cyolo is also adapting for further usability, allowing teams to securely invite external users by generating a secure one-time password; and import groups from existing IdPs, using SCIM. “Ensuring the security of critical infrastructure and industrial processes has become increasingly critical as organizations unite their IT and OT systems. This convergence has expanded the OT threat landscape and introduced significant cybersecurity challenges, as the once-isolated OT networks are now vulnerable to the same threats that have targeted IT networks for years” said Joe O'Donnell, Vice President ICS/OT of Cyolo. “With Cyolo 4.3, industrial entities can confidently navigate the complexities of the modern threat landscape and fortify their defenses against evolving cyber threats.” The announcement of Cyolo 4.3 highlights the company’s commitment to advancing zero-trust capabilities and it comes on the heels of Cyolo being listed as a Representative Vendor in the 2023 Gartner® “Market Guide for Zero Trust Network Access” report for the second consecutive year and recognized by Frost & Sullivan with the 2023 North American New Product Innovation Award for Secure Remote Access to Operational Infrastructure and Industrial Control Systems (OT/ICS). As the threats to critical infrastructure continue to evolve, Cyolo zero-trust access solution continues to provide the utmost protection and ease of use. To learn more about Cyolo 4.3, visit here. Access the report for a full view of the industry here. Register here to attend the joint webinar from Cyolo and KuppingerCole on how to achieve secure remote access for OT environments, to be held on Tuesday, October 10 at 7 a.m. PT. About Cyolo Cyolo helps hybrid organizations in the IT and OT spaces to stay safe, secure and productive in an era of distributed workforces and unprecedented cyberthreats.
