Despite its growing role in incident response, understanding cybersecurity insurance coverage can still be daunting for many organizations. In this blog, Justin Boncaldo discusses what cybersecurity insurance is, what to look for within your policy, and what is not typically covered by most policies to help you feel more prepared when submitting a claim. https://bit.ly/41gKHtd

How does your company 'winterize' your cybersecurity posture?   As we move into the colder months in Upstate New York, I've begun the slow process of 'winterizing' my back patio in preparation for the unknown winter ahead. Moving my grill and patio furniture into my shed, bringing out the snow blower and starting to prepare firewood. All of this, and there's always a chance we might not even get snow! This got me thinking about the many cybersecurity initiatives I commonly seen organizations execute around this same time of the calendar year.

Our latest MOXFIVE Monthly Insights for October 2024 are now available! https://bit.ly/48NuVaX This month ransomware activity remained high with active campaigns from groups such as RansomHub, Akira, and Fog. These groups continue to diversify their targeting with renewed interest in high-impact sectors like Manufacturing, Technology, and Healthcare. Newly disclosed firewall vulnerabilities further emphasize the urgency of proactive patching, particularly for external-facing systems, as ransomware groups increasingly exploit public-facing infrastructure.
