Accelerate Incident Response with Threat Intelligence

May 25, 2017

How Threat Intelligence improves Incident Response It’s a tough world out there. Even as nation-state actors have developed powerful new capabilities, criminal groups have developed capabilities formerly limited to nation-states. Through online profiles and social engineering, attackers can develop detailed dossiers on their targets and then use that information to create a spear-phishing email. Upon gaining a foothold into an organization’s systems, it may take just a couple of days to exfiltrate data. Most cyber attacks go undetected – fewer than 1 in 4, according to Verizon’s 2016 Data Breach Investigations Report. That’s one main reason organizations are pressuring their Incident Response teams and Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) to become faster and more effective at detecting and nullifying attacks.

MEC security; Status of standards support and future evolutions

whitePaper | September 28, 2022

The present White Paper will focus on MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing) technologies and intends to explore security-related use cases and requirements with the aim of identifying aspects of security where the nature of edge computing results in insufficient industry approaches to cloud security. Edge computing environments are by nature characterized by a complex multi-vendor, multi-supplier, multi-stakeholder ecosystem of equipment including both HW and SW devices. Given this overall level of system heterogeneity, the areas of security, trust, and privacy are key topics for the edge environments. Finally, the advent of edge cloud federations and the presence of (far) edge devices, e.g., in Internet-ofThings environments, requires tackling MEC security with an end-to-end (E2E) approach by leveraging existing standards relevant in the area, as carefully selected to be applicable in edge computing systems.
