Cybersecurity for Dummies

APTs (advanced persistent threats) have changed the world of enterprise security and how networks and organizations are attacked. These threats, and the cyber-criminals behind them, are experts at remaining hidden from traditional security while exhibiting an intelligence, resiliency, and patience that has never been seen before. Controlling these threats requires multiple security disciplines working together in context. While no single solution will solve the problem of advanced threats on its own, next-generation security provides the unique visibility and control of, and the true integration of, threat-prevention disciplines needed to find and stop these threats — both known and unknown.

Critical Start

Critical Start was founded on a very simple concept - manage your security, don’t let it manage you. Most customers spend plenty of money on compliance, risk, and security products. However, the cost of compliance (money and time) consumes resources that should be directed towards protecting critical assets and personnel. The reality is that compliance regulations are a reactive response to yesterday’s threats. Compliance should be completed quickly and cost effectively, while consuming as few people resources as possible. The savings from smarter compliance should be applied to controls that actually protect critical assets and people.

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.

Cybersecurity - for safe and secure mobility

whitePaper | June 6, 2022

In a world that is increasingly connected and digital, cybersecurity is no longer simply an operational requirement – it is an economic necessity that is vital to the ongoing health of any business.

Reveal Risk Whitepaper: Measuring And Managing Cyber Resilience

whitePaper | March 3, 2023

Cyber Resilience (according to NIST) is “the ability to anticipate, withstand, recover from, and adapt to adverse conditions, stresses, attacks, or compromises on systems that use or are enabled by cyber resources.” Resiliency in cybersecurity is not a new concept. It has long been postulated as a goal or used to convey that a business needs to be ready for the unpredictable that can and will arise in a volatile cyber-risk climate. However, we have seen that there is a disconnect between current practices for evaluating & leading cyber programs, and understanding, measuring, & building true cyber resiliency.

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.
