We think this is quite a good summary of some of the biggest issues out there around #identity security... which continues to be one of the biggest issues in #cybersecurity: "The identity crisis is not a distant threat—it’s here, and it’s growing. Cybercriminals are exploiting trusted platforms, automating their attacks, and targeting IAM systems with devastating precision. For cybersecurity professionals, the path forward is clear: adopt phishing-resistant MFA, enforce Zero Trust principles, and reimagine IAM as both a security tool and a critical business enabler." https://lnkd.in/gFajjFZP

Hacking licence plates... fascinating! https://lnkd.in/gyF4Ntzm

We all store, process and transmit SO much data in collaboration and office productivity suites... which is why directives like these (and their equivalent in Australia - e.g. the Protective Security Policy Framework mandating Essential 8 maturity level 2 compliance) are so important. This quote from CISA says it all: "Recent cybersecurity incidents highlight the significant risks posed by misconfigurations and weak security controls, which attackers can use to gain unauthorized access, exfiltrate data, or disrupt services," https://lnkd.in/dEFmdXNn

Some folk may see the False Claims Act and it's enforcement in relation to #cybersecurity as a form of #insiderthreat... others may see it as analogous to a bug bounty / responsible disclosure program run by the central government. It's not really either, but whatever it is, at least from the perspective of the US authorities, it seems to be somewhat effective.... Not bad for a law that dates back to the mid-1800s! https://lnkd.in/dCqc5e9N

Can our human eye really detect #deepfakes? The #ai algorithms that generate synthetic images and videos are getting better by the day... by the hour in fact... But there are still (sometimes) some giveaways if you know what to look for... Can you spot them in this test from Kellogg Northwestern University? We recommend doing at least 10 of the comparison tests and would love to hear your scores in the comments below 👇 👇 👇 https://lnkd.in/eqUbvUVf

#Insiderthreat. If you're in #cybersecurity and haven't read the indictments the US has made against the folk involved in this campaign to create insider threats in American industry, then you should. And when you do, most people's immediate reaction is 'how do we know it isn't happening in my backyard too?'... Perhaps unsurprisingly, it turns out that it is! https://lnkd.in/gefkAAKK

It's not just the length of the campaign, it's the efforts the threat group made to obfuscate and hide their efforts that make this a sophisticated (and clearly very effective) supply chain attack.... https://lnkd.in/gP8UjKgY

Sometimes, all you can say is #wow! "Willow can perform a standard benchmark calculation in less than five minutes. One of the fastest supercomputers currently in existence would need ten quadrillion (10 to the power of 25) years to do the same" https://lnkd.in/gRG-vyZv

Very few #cyberprofessionals believe the CVSS framework to be flawless... but it's still the most widely used vulnerability management model in existence, and no matter how one looks at it, there are challenges and tradeoffs in every other approach too. But this latest research suggests the issues might be deeper than previously thought... https://lnkd.in/ge9wr8UK
