As artificial intelligence tools improve so does their ability to wreak havoc on an organization's cybersecurity.

Attackers are having a field day with the Legion tool, with capabilities that allow them to steal cloud credentials and launch SMS based attacks.

As enterprises are increasingly migrating to the cloud, adversaries are adding the cloud to their targeting repertoire to expand the impact of their intrusions,

The vendor capped the year with its annual Ignite event that showcased its networking, cloud, endpoint, and application security services.

With billions of medical IoT devices coming online in the next decade, “you’ve got to find a way to automate policy creation," SVP Anand Oswal said.

The new set of firewalls are for small and large branches, campus locations, and data centers.

The suite’s capabilities include access to cloud-scale data, curated detections, and automated response to common security threats such as phishing and malware.

The new capability enables features like patch and update readiness, URL category filtering, antivirus and malware scanning, and user identification and control.

Fortinet reports ransomware variants almost doubled in the first half of 2022; GlobalData on data consumption patterns; and Code42 reports on insider risk.

Until full secure access service edge is achievable, “security convergence is better than no convergence," Cato's CMO said.

The Unit 42 managed detection and response services address alert fatigue and the talent gap for organizations of all sizes, SVP Wendi Whitmore claims.

“Most security and risk leaders now recognize that major disruption is only one crisis away," Gartner's Richard Addiscott said.

Microsoft's key components to fight cyberattacks; Lacework reports increased risks with LCNC; Blackberry, Intezer report a new malware threat.

As attackers are progressively targeting cloud workloads and servers, it is probable that similar Symbiote threats will increase, noted the report.

Despite common outcomes touted by Apple, Google, and LinkedIn, how companies get there remain anything but.

The report cites a steep 13% increase in ransomware breaches in the past five years, a 25% increase in this past year alone. Human element remains dominant in ransomware

The update introduces more than 300 new features and improvements to the vendor’s security operating system.

The WLAN space remains Cisco's domain, and Cloudflare and CrowdStrike partner on security.

Ransomware detection dropped 21%, which the vendor said could be the result of defensive actions that blocked more malware tools.

Despite an uptick in law enforcement takedowns over the last year, ransomware remains the top attack type, IBM's X-Force reports.

“Storage plays a central role in recovering from an attack,” IBM's Chris Saul said.

Google found 86% of compromised cloud instances were used for crypto mining; IBM acquired Sentaca; and Cisco and Microsoft address inconsistent SaaS performance.

A recent Google Cybersecurity Action Team report found 86% of compromised cloud instances were used to perform cryptocurrency mining.

Plus, a bug in the Linux kernel, discovered earlier this month, leaves Kubernetes clusters and other containerized workloads open to attack.
