Voice Recognition Security ID

Wanted: Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication The not-so-recent OPM data breach has resulted in some critical repercussions, not the least of which is the exposure of millions of government employees and contractors to identity theft. The breach has raised the ire of Congress with numerous hearings about what happened, why it happened, and what are “you” going to […]

Have you been wondering about what makes systems trustworthy and how to manage risk? We recently interviewed Dr. Ron Ross about the NIST Risk Management Framework, active cyber defense, and some of the other innovative projects that NIST is currently leading in the areas of cybersecurity. Dr. Ross is a long-time leader and visionary in the area […]

Speaker at Cyber Defence Conference

It’s already the summer of 2015 and I have been remiss not mentioning several events in 2015 that highlight active cyber defenses. But first, I would like to announce the publication of my ACD guide: Protecting the Future Enterprise: Active Cyber Defense, The Definitive Guide To Next-Gen Cyber Protections. This free ebook is available =here […]

IoT and the future of cyber security

Adept at Adaptation As the go-to-market race to support the Internet of Things (IoT) begins to heat up, malware producers and hackers are already targeting these pervasive devices. Strong warnings are emerging from governments and threat intelligence sources about vulnerabilities in this target-rich environment. It will be imperative for the IoT ecosystem of manufacturers, vendors, integrators, […]

delay tactic - confusing crossroads

Active Deception Through Cyber Maneuver The concept of dynamic identity can play a significant role in deception and adaptive defenses. Static mappings of identities create vulnerabilities that undermine protections and facilitate asset theft. For example, static passwords, static credit card numbers, static asset tags, and static IP addresses simplify the tasks of a malicious adversary […]

Cloud Computing – A Potpourri of Adaptive Defenses Cloud adoption is gaining momentum by leaps and bounds. How can you argue with the ubiquity and elasticity that cloud computing offers? And with the price of cloud services in a freefall and no bottom in sight, there doesn’t seem to be anything stopping this train. Oh, […]

Cyber detection, deception and delay

Active cyber defense offers deception, delay and persistent detection approaches to disrupt cyber attacks while also increasing the work factor for the attacker. By camouflaging defenses, deception can provide real-time insight to a threat actor’s TTPs while delaying an attacker’s ability to launch a successful attack. Adaptive and persistent detective capabilities can expose stealthy malware […]
