XYPRO’s 2020 Cybersecurity Predictions – Add 2 Factor Authentication and Machine Learning to Your Plans!

Steve Tcherchian0228 views
As 2020 approaches, it’s time to discuss cybersecurity predictions that will impact the industry in the upcoming year. As a CISSP and Chief Information Security Officer for XYPRO, I thought long and hard about what I could say that would be impactful and hasn't been said before - that’s a tall order! The reality is, what we predicted would be important in 2019, 2018 and even 2017 - is still applicable. A lot of what we predicted back then was never properly addressed and remains a risk today - credential theft and attacks targeting privileged user logins are more prevalent than ever. Currently, the best way to combat these types of attacks is to use 2 factor authentication.

Big Breaches, Big Data, Big Context How to Empower the Next Generation of Security Threat Detection

Steve Tcherchian0265 views
It can take months or even years before a data breach is detected. The latest statistics from Ponemon Institute’s 2018 Cost of Data Breach Report outlines that it takes an average of 197 days to identify a breach. That means someone is in your network, on your systems, in your applications for over six months before they’re detected, IF they’re detected. That’s six months! On the higher end of the same report, there are companies that have been breached for years before they realize it. For example, sources indicate the Marriott data breach occurred back in 2014, but it was not disclosed until 2018. The scale of that breach is still being evaluated and it seems to get bigger and more impactful as more information is discovered.

Hardly a week went by where we weren’t reading about a new mega breach. Even the popular online video game, Fortnite, was hacked and children’s personal data was found for sale on the dark web.…

Ready Player None: Protecting What You Can’t See

Steve Tcherchian0211 views

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]There is quite a large disconnect in the way breaches are evolving versus how security solutions are keeping up to address them. Virtualization adds an entire new layer of complexity to the puzzle. As a security strategist, I’m constantly evaluating what is possible to help identify gaps and opportunities. The one thing I have learned over the course of my career:

The only thing constant in cyber security is that attackers’ methods will continue to evolve.  …
