Look
to the most recent Presidential order regarding security: Executive
Order 14028 and what it states are the most formidable
cyber-security threats (and what they are now expecting you to do to meet NIST and other compliance standards). It will force many to adapt or face
non-compliance and possibly loss of cyber insurance (or worse, all your insurance coverage). We're seeing it creep up already in certain industries.


Security
initiatives important to thwart it all:



1) Zero-Trust
Architecture!



2)
Immutable file storage and backup.



3)
Non-signature-based AV (AI for all your security/endpoints).



4)
Improved email security/control/training to better handle phishing/Malware and
other attacks.



5)
Air gapping data.



6)
Better resiliency to withstand Denial of Service attacks which are
increasing.


and lowest on everyone's list - better, more secure password management. Still there after all these years.

2. AI (for massive data processing).


3. Data (protection) and breaches.


4. eGRC (enterprise GRC integrated with eRM and vendor-neutral xLAP visual presentation platform).


5. Collective Intelligence (MISP/Hive and similar platforms for normalization).

1) Security in endpoints (especially because of remote work), especially to protect from phishing, Business Email Compromise (BEC), and ransomware.


2) Security data in transit (use SDP to protect, replace VPNs).


3) Security in Cloud adoption with security in DevOps (use Cloud-based SOCs with their sensors).


4) Security in SaaS applications (protection of SaaS-specific applications, CRM, AI, CDP, etc.).


5) Security in crypto transactions.

In the last few years, attackers have been looking for new ways to abuse companies by targeting their employees and users and exploiting their weak security procedures.


Here is a list of potential security trends that every individual, business, or organization should be aware of and take appropriate security precautions to avoid:


- Attack surface expansion


- Identity system defense


- Digital supply chain risk


- Vendor consolidation


- Cybersecurity mesh


- Distributed decisions

The top ones are:


1) The remote workforce will continue to grow and more attacks will target Work-From-Home users.


2) Zero-trust will gain more prominence.


3) Supply chain still remains a major vulnerability area and we will see a substantial increase in supply chain attacks.


4) IoT and OT will see more targeted attacks that will make headlines.


5) Cybercriminals will continue to use new technologies like AI - which means organizations need to be proactive to stay secure

@Bret Mantey​ has nailed it. 


Zero trust is the absolute necessary mind-shift we need to undergo. We can no longer afford to bank on a 'secure source' or a 'trusted partner', as these may well be already compromised, unknowingly.

A new year is always a good opportunity to pause and predict what the cybersecurity landscape will look like in the future. Cybersecurity predictions are getting more and more accurate each year. Why do we think so? Simply because trends are getting more and more transparent and technology is getting more and more advanced. So, let’s see the top 5 cybersecurity trends that will dominate in 2022.


1. Proliferation of AI and machine learning in cybersecurity


Cybersecurity Solutions will increasingly rely on AI and machine learning to detect and respond to threats.


2. Increased use of automation


Automated tools will be used more extensively to help manage security risks.


3. More widespread use of blockchain technology


Blockchain will play an increasingly important role in cybersecurity, helping to secure data and transactions.


4. Greater focus on user training and awareness


Users will need to be better educated about cyber threats and how to protect themselves against them.


5. Growing importance of incident response planning


Organizations will need to have effective incident response plans in place in order to react quickly to cyber incidents and mitigate the damage they cause.

1. Proliferation of ransomware and data theft: The use of ransomware will continue to increase in 2022, as will the theft of sensitive data.


2. Increased sophistication of cyberattacks: Cybercriminals will become more adept at launching sophisticated attacks that are difficult to detect and prevent.


3. Emergence of AI and machine learning in cybersecurity: AI and machine learning will be increasingly used to bolster cybersecurity defenses and identify malicious activity.


4. Growing popularity of cloud-based security solutions: Cloud-based security solutions will become more popular as businesses move to the cloud for their computing needs.


5. Increased focus on mobile security: With more people using smartphones and other mobile devices for business and personal activities, mobile security will.

Hello peers, I am a Software Engineer at a large tech services company. I am currently researching network security functions. What aspects of network security are more concerning to small and medium-sized enterprises? Thank you for your help.

Data breaches, malware, phishing attacks, weak passwords, insider threats, and lack of security policies are some of the most concerning aspects of network security for small and medium-sized enterprises since they may not have the same level of security measures and IT staff as larger corporations. It's important for SMEs to identify and prioritize these risks and take steps to mitigate them to protect their business and customers' data.This could include implementing strong password policies, providing security awareness training for employees, implementing firewalls and antivirus software, and regularly backing up data. In addition, SMEs should develop formalized security policies and ensure that all employees understand and follow them to maintain a secure network environment.

If we are talking strictly about the network, the issue almost all SMEs suffer from is a lack of risk visibility. Consider the risks and vulnerabilities that exist in the network from ports that are unsecured to firewall rules that are no longer effective to rogue devices that are connected and no one in IT is aware. If SMEs simply closed all of these gaps effectively, they would greatly reduce the chances that they are compromised. The second area is threat visibility - meaning an actual attack unfolding.  Once an attacker - say ransomware - bypasses an endpoint, they are free to waltz around the network for weeks. I think that the latest dwell time number is over 4 weeks. Four weeks of recon, command calls, lateral movement, credential compromise, data location, etc. That is enough time to make the ransomware attack really hurt and find all the partner companies that the attacker can move to next. Most large companies have NDR in place to detect and stop attacks - greatly lowering that dwell time and damage - but SMEs cannot afford most of those tools. There are new cloud-based NDR tools that are a lot less (CyGlass), and there are great options with Managed Detection and Response (MDR) companies like Stratejm. Either path, SMEs need to deploy tools or services that watch the network for risks, vulnerabilities, and threats.

When it comes to security and automation, there's no such thing as too much. That's why it makes sense to take steps to automate security for your CI/CD pipeline. Automation can help reduce the time spent on manual tasks and ensure that your code is secure before it makes its way into production. Here are some tips for automating security for your CI/CD pipeline: 1. Use a static application security testing (SAST) solution to scan code for vulnerabilities. SAST solutions can help identify and fix known issues quickly and efficiently. 2. Run regular scans of your codebase using a dynamic application security testing (DAST) tool. This will help identify any new security issues in real time. 3. Use a container scanning tool to check all your images and containers for vulnerabilities or misconfigurations. This will help ensure that no malicious code can enter the pipeline. 4. Utilize an API scanner to detect potential API vulnerabilities in your applications, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and parameter tampering. 5. Implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to protect your applications from attacks like DDoS or brute force attacks. This can help prevent attackers from accessing sensitive information.
