“But as we've been looking back into our history … they were doing very early recon activities in January of 2019,” SolarWinds CEO Sudhakar Ramakrishna said.

AT&T Cyber hunts government threats; Netflix and VMware talk security lessons learned; and Palo Alto Networks zeroes in on zero trust.

VMware’s Angela Weinman and Netflix InfoSec Chief Jimmy Sanders tackled three cybersecurity “hard truths” in an RSA keynote, and discussed how these truths can lead to more resilient security.

The product operates from Amazon Web Services’ GovCloud, but can also be integrated into Microsoft Azure Government or Google Cloud’s government cloud environments.

Fortinet's latest update adds managed detection and response alongside new Mitre ATT&CK tags.

Building security into the software design process will save “thousands of dollars,” White House advisor Anne Neuberger said during an RSA Conference keynote.

The private-sector led Ransomware Task Force today issued a report that includes 48 recommendations to combat ransomware, which it says is a $350 million industry.

Microsoft's cloud revenue stabilized; Huawei's sales took a dive; and Sysdig secured $188 million in new funding.

The subscription-based, managed detection and response service targets organizations with 50 or more endpoints, and it combines Secureworks’ XDR with Dell Technologies’ security analysts.

“The cybersecurity risks of ransomware are a clear and present, global danger,” McAfee’s Thomas Gann said.

Ericsson eyed potential 5G windfall; latest nation-state attack hit Pulse Secure; and Cisco dropped $100 million on climate tech.

Also this week, the U.S. Department of Energy launched a coordinated effort with CISA to secure the energy sector against cyberattacks.

Palo Alto Networks kicked off its 2021 Symphony event with founder and CTO Nir Zuk touting the benefit of a platform approach to cybersecurity.
