AI-Driven Threat and Incident Prevention, Detection, and Response

Traditional cybersecurity approaches suffer from two glaring weaknesses. First, they rely on the digital signatures of known malware in order to identify threats. This approach leaves systems vulnerable to new and non-catalogued malware. Second, they are reactive in nature, ascribing to the “it’s not a matter of if, but when” mentality and often responding to the damage caused by zero-day threats only after they execute. Guarding against known threats is important but in the modern threat, landscape organizations must also address the over 350, ...more

Employees in companies experience IT security as a burden

Cybersecurity remains a male domain

Women often fall by the wayside in the IT security labour market. This is shown by a recent Kaspersky study.

Penetration testing - a milestone in corporate security

Penetration tests still have a niche existence in the field of information security. Even the most busy testers rarely carry out more than 20 orders per year, the results of which are almost always secret and protected by strict confidentiality agreements. Accordingly, it is difficult to obtain penetration test evaluations. Rapid7 collected data from 180 penetration tests over a period of nine months from mid-September 2018 to the end of May 2019. The results cover not only internal and external network analysis, but also physical intrusion, pe ...more
