Mitiga has not only transformed cloud threat detection, investigation, and response, we have transformed as a company. With the cybersecurity industry being the crowded space it is, standing out above the rest is no easy feat, but I am proud to say that Mitiga has done just that.

As Slack becomes a dominant part of the infrastructure in your organization, it will become a target for attacks and at some point, it is likely to be breached (just like any other technology that we use). The impact of that breach, however, depends on how we prepare for it, by limiting its potential propagation and allowing for fast response.

The Okta breach is yet another indication of what we have been seeing for the past few years in the cybersecurity industry, particularly in the incident response practice, demonstrating the increased sophistication and capabilities of various attack groups.

But today, in the midst of a pandemic outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) and while governments and global organizations work to contain and eradicate the virus, we’re hearing of a new wormable vulnerability in Microsoft’s SMBv3 protocol.How can we learn from these unfortunate events to provide us with a different context and an opportunity to rethink our level of readiness for unexpected, viral cyber events?
