Ransomware and Employee Training

January 23, 2017

In the past two years, global incidents of ransomware have surged significantly, especially in attacks targeting organizations. Attacks are up to 4,000 per day now, as they quadrupled in 2016. Ransomware is defined as a type of malware that renders the user’s device or files inaccessible until a ransom set by the hackers is paid. Certain dangers surround different aspects of ransomware, and they will be discussed within this white paper. As with any area of cybersecurity, employee training is the key to decreasing vulnerabilities within a company or organization. Employees must have a strong understanding of how ransomware works and what can be done to minimize attacks.

Protecting Against Sophisticated Bot Attacks

whitePaper | November 18, 2022

Bot-generated attacks have risen in visibility, and defending against these attacks is now a priority for most organizations. Yet challenges persist in accurately identifying bot traffic; protecting a distributed, heterogeneous application environment from these attacks; and minimizing the impact to legitimate users while doing so. To address these issues, intelligent protection against sophisticated bots is a necessity. This should include strong analytics coupled with human expertise, a frictionless user experience, and consistent coverage across different architectures and platforms. F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense, built on Google Cloud, supports these requirements and can help prevent fraud and abuse against public-facing web applications.

Statype asks a lot from our customers: we ingest sensitive financial, performance, and customer information to generate deep insights. Our customers trust us to get this right because security is a core tenant of everything we build, and we prioritize getting security right

2022 Cybersecurity Predictions

whitePaper | June 27, 2022

At the end of every year, our experts put their heads together to anticipate and prepare for what’s to come next in the world of cybersecurity. We retrospect on the months past, and analyze impactful developments, breaches, and tactics. We package the outputs of this process for IT leaders, so they, too, can anticipate and prepare.

White Paper on Cyber Security Securing Video Surveillance Devices to Close Network Vulnerabilities

whitePaper | February 19, 2020

We live in an increasingly connected world, where more and more devices and systems are networked and shared with other systems. Convenience is a main driver behind this trend, as people have come to expect the ability to connect to and control devices and systems anywhere, anytime. However, there is a downside to the unprecedented level of convenience provided by the growing number of networked devices, namely increased security risk. Because each device is an endpoint for networks, they introduce the potential to become entry points for hackers and others with malicious intents. In fact, in many of the most high-profile data breaches that have occurred recently, hackers were able to access corporate networks through POS, HVAC and other networked systems that failed to provide an adequate level of security to prevent these types of breaches.

Aerospace cybersecuirty- Bringing a zero-trust approach to aviation product network design

whitePaper | May 18, 2022

Modern aerospace products are moving into containerization and micro-services. Mounting connected internal micro-services patterns in a product segregates and segments the network to support a zero-trust network security approach. Having weak internal network security of the product allows malicious actors to exploit them and elevate privileges — denying users access, jamming signals, or even shutting them down. Such interference could cause major harm to aircraft safety and operations.

Dashlane - Security White Paper August 2022

whitePaper | August 30, 2022

Access to the user’s data requires using the User Master Password which is only known by the user. It is used to generate the symmetric Advanced Encryption Standard(AES) 256-bit key for encryption and decryption of the user’s personal data on the user’s device. We useWebcrypto API for most browser based cryptography and the native libraries for IOS and Android.
