Enterprise success relies on operational resilience. When you fall, you have to be able to get back up—and quickly. That ability to spring back after a setback requires more than nimbleness.

In a digital landscape fraught with uncertainty, the discovery of the "Mother of All Breaches" (MOAB) serves as an unsettling foreshadowing of other challenges that await. With a massive cache of 26 billion records, this digital beast has again brought cybersecurity to the forefront for enterprises and requires security professionals to wrestle with a new set of evolving circumstances.

As we hurtle into this new year, it’s already clear that there is an evolving set of cyber risks that organizations will need to contend with successfully to manage threats and grow their organizational resilience in 2024. Below, I’ll outline three of the biggest ones, sharing recommendations and execution checklists that can help enterprises enhance their threat readiness and elevate security postures as the threat landscape continues to evolve.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently implemented a new rule mandating stringent cybersecurity incident reporting and disclosure requirements for public companies.

Accelerated digital transformation, coupled with the escalating cloud and SaaS threat landscape, have made cloud breach readiness a topic climbing up many CISOs’ lists of cyber priorities.

As cyber threats evolve, security teams need to detect and mitigate cloud attacks. Learn why cloud detection and threat hunting are key defense strategies.

Cybersecurity has been with us for decades, yet it’s still a young and maturing industry—and not surprisingly. Every enterprise that cybersecurity supports is still moving along their own digital transformation journey. Some are in the early stages, lifting and shifting their on-prem workloads to the cloud. Others are well along the path, taking on new SaaS (Software as a Service) applications and developing their own cloud-native solutions to serve customers better, build efficiency into their operations, and transact with greater ease.

Incident response (IR) retainers have been a staple for security teams for years. You pay an upfront fee to an IR firm to be "on call" if an incident occurs. The basic idea is that IR experts are ready to parachute in when disaster strikes.

On September 12, 2023, the world woke up to the news ofanother significant cyber-attack, this time on MGM Resorts International, arenowned name in the hotel and casino industry. The incident affected theiroperations across various locations, including iconic Las Vegas.

Cloud environments offer tremendous advantages in agility, scalability, and cost efficiency. However, their dynamic nature also introduces new security challenges compared to traditional on-premises IT. To build true resilience for the inevitability of breaches in the cloud, organizations need to shift their mindset and priorities—starting with accepting the assumption that breaches will occur.

The SEC now requires public companies to disclose material cybersecurity incidents within 4 days. Stay informed by reading this article.

Uncover the Microsoft Storm 0558 SaaS breach and learn expert strategies for hunting stealth espionage attacks and strengthening your security posture.

Five years ago, the WannaCry ransomware cryptoworm targeted computers running Microsoft Windows, encrypting data at organizations around the world. The attackers demanded a ransom of just $300 worth of bitcoins within three days or the files would be permanently deleted. The cryptoworm leveraged the EternalBlue exploit, which the National Security Agency developed to attack older Windows Systems.

Cyber resilience is the ability of an organization or entity to continue to deliver services or solutions even in the face of adverse cyber events, such as cyberattacks. Cyber resilience combines elements of information security, business continuity, and organizational resilience.

The Russian military strategy is often described as a strategy of “active defense.” This means that their strategy includes both the preventative measures taken before a conflict breaks out and the tenets for conducting the war.

Over the last few months, everyone has been busy patching — seeking to close the loophole most learned about when the a patch was released for Log4j 2.15.0 for Java 8 users to address the remote code execution vulnerability CVE-2021-44228, a previously undisclosed zero-day vulnerability.

Because zero-day vulnerabilities are announced before security researchers and software developers have a patch available, zero-day vulnerabilities pose a critical risk to organizations as criminals race to exploit them. Similarly, vulnerable systems are exposed until a patch is issued and applied.

New vulnerabilities emerge and get published frequently, and merely applying patches is insufficient. Learn how to safeguard your data beyond just patching.

One of Mitiga’s employees received an email phishing for credentials. Instead of just laughing it off, our team decided to use their lunch breaks to analyze it. What we found indicates a sophisticated phishing platform that uses AWS and Oracle infrastructure to phish Office 365 email accounts.

Ransomware keeps hitting the news these days, filling headlines with stories about organizations struggling with disabled IT systems, inaccessible patient data, unavailable Wi-Fi, and general confusion. Today, organizations are facing an evolving threat, modern ransomware, also called double extortion ransomware.
