KnowBe4, the provider of security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, has conducted a survey during Infosecurity Europe, which evaluated the opinions of nearly 200 security professionals towards security culture, or more specifically: the ideas, customs and social behaviours of an organisation that influence their security practices. The research found the threat of cyber warfare (30%) or experiencing a data breach or cyberattack (30%) were the two biggest reasons why security professionals wanted to improve...

The UK Cyber Security Council, International Cyber Expo and ITN Business will be co-creators of a unique news-style programme produced to raise awareness and understanding of cyber security.

Virsec has come a long way in the past few years. As recently as 2017, its technology only focused on memory protection. 5 years, $137 million in funding and the addition of host and feedback protection later, the company is looking to revolutionise cybersecurity, quite literally, from the inside out.  Greg Kelton, Regional Director of Europe at Virsec, is on the frontlines of that revolution. The enemy? Dwell time. “We’re seeing a monumental shift in...

“Identity is the number one security concern.” Tim Nursall, Field Engineer at Illusive spoke at Infosecurity Europe last week on identity risk and the Analysing Identity Risks Report.   --  So, what is identity risk? With the migration of networks to the cloud and the overall shift towards remote work and off-premises devices, the historically understood network perimeter has changed entirely.

Unified identity security company, One Identity, focuses on helping organisations close the cybersecurity exposure gap that exists with newfound identity vulnerabilities and stopping opportunistic bad actors before they can seek to utilise it.   The identity perimeter is a relatively new phenomenon. Twelve years ago, workers were almost always in an office, using office devices. There used to be a data centre for a particular firm. Now any employee may use their phone, smart watch, or...

The COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing work-from-home revolution has thrust identity management to the top of corporate agendas. As such, security professionals can no longer be satisfied with securing their perimeters, they now have to account for countless employees, devices and identities - all operating off site. One Identity recognised the paradigm shift early. Already an established player in the identity management space, their acquisition of access management provider OneLogin was a key move in cementing...
