Medical device cybersecurity must be recognized as a critical public health issue so that all segments of the healthcare sector understand their roles in addressing the many complicated challenges involved, says Dale Nordenberg, M.D., of the Medical Device Innovation, Safety and Security Consortium.
The Equation Group leak revealed a zero-day flaw in Cisco's firewall software - a patch is being prepped - as well as a vulnerability in Fortinet's software that's since been patched. Has the U.S. government long known about the flaws?
Scant doubt remains that a set of code and exploits - leaked by the "Shadow Brokers" hacking group - belongs to the Equation Group. What remains unclear, however, is who leaked the code and why.
Building a threat intelligence team from the ground up can be riddled with political inertia. This whitepaper details how to merge operational and strategic capabilities to automate and analyze external attack data to identify current and future security threats.

Most enterprise IT professionals agree, securing the network only at the perimeter is inadequate for today's data centers. Modern attacks can exploit a perimeter-centric defense. In this paper, we show how VMware NSX enables security that is both ubiquitous and granular by integrating security functions into the...
A very advanced and targeted cyber-espionage campaign has been active for five years, and employs stealthy malware that can penetrate air-gapped networks and exfiltrate data using multiple techniques, security researchers warn.
Adoption of cloud applications and infrastructure is increasing. As a result, IT teams are expected to be experts in evaluating their features and capabilities. Deep knowledge of redundancy, global infrastructure, and SLAs has also become business critical. However, there is one section in the cloud service provider's...
In the wake of the Hillary Clinton email controversy, organizations need to be more aware of the risks of unsanctioned "shadow IT" and take appropriate mitigation steps, says security expert Mac McMillan.
More than 200,000 internet-connected systems remain vulnerable to the OpenSSL vulnerability known as Heartbleed, more than two years after the flaw was publicly announced and related patches released, warns security researcher Billy Rios.
While malware may be used for an initial attack, hackers quickly begin using tools to move around networks that often don't raise suspicion. Here's what to look out for to detect a "low and slow" attack.
After channeling horror films and holding control of smart TVs for ransom, the ransomware innovation du jour involves attackers crypto-locking files using JavaScript. But security experts say IT administrators can deploy some relatively easy defense measures.
A massive scan of open internet ports confirms long-held assumptions that old, insecure internet protocols never die, and in fact may still thrive, especially in Belgium, says Rapid 7 security research manager Tod Beardsley.
