Search and delete is a common response to phishing emails, but it's not the best approach.  It's inefficient, ineffective, and with the sheer volume of phishing attacks, it's not feasible as a standard practice. The only thing search and delete truly provides is a false sense of security.   In this episode, IRONSCALES' Senior Director of Sales Engineering and Information Security, and former email administrator, Stephen Kowski talks us through what to do instead. **Show Links** Connect with J.

When identity access management system Okta was breached earlier this year, 366 companies had their data compromised.  For those companies, a single point of failure put their data, and business, at risk. Because of the nature of Okta and similar systems, it wasn't clear what, if any, changes had been made. That meant their disaster recovery process was more complicated than expected.  In this episode, accSenSe CEO Muli Motola explains the things that any company using identity access management systems can do right now to make their disaster recovery plan stronger and protect themselves in case of a major breach.

The biggest mistake companies make is not having a suitable disaster recovery plan in place. They think that a box of tapes serving as their backup is enough.  That might have been true a couple of decades ago, but with ransomware attacks happening every few minutes, that won't cut it anymore.  In this episode, Curtis Preston, Chief Technical Evangelist of Druva, explains how a disaster recovery plan is like health insurance. It requires time and money upfront when things are okay, but it saves you when the worst happens.

Businesses starting to build a privacy program need to ask themselves this:  How would customers feel if their data was used in a way that ends up in the New York Times? What would happen to your business? Good privacy policies benefit the business, don't hurt engineering morale, and protect the customer. But for all of that to happen, you need customer trust.  In this episode, Nishant Bhajaria, director of privacy engineering, architecture, and analytics at Uber, discusses the steps to take to protect customers and achieve business objectives.

There are many tech tools available to cite the capability to reduce phishing scams and cybersecurity threats.  But it's important to carefully evaluate what technology you're bringing to the table and how you're approaching the problem in a way that's not wasting time and money unnecessarily. Exchange Online Protection (EOP) is a hosted e-mail security service, owned by Microsoft, that filters spam and malware from e-mail messages. In many cases, companies already have access to EOP, but are not taking advantage of its capabilities.  In this episode J Stephen Kowski, Senior Director of Sales Engineering & Information Security at IRONSCALES, shared how you can configure your EOP tool properly so that it can catch as much—if not more—spam and malicious content than your expensive legacy Secure Email Gateway.  Show Links Connect with J.

Companies are getting attacked daily by cyber criminals. Most of those attacks aren't getting into their systems, but when you add up all of the phishing emails and attempts to get credentials, it can look like thousands of attacks in a month. At the same time, there are over three million open positions in cybersecurity. In order to stay ahead of the constant attacks, organizations need to fill these positions.  In this episode (part 7 of our #1SEAT series), Ron Sharon, Vice President of Information Security at Mercer Advisors, discusses how meeting that demand is going to require changes from hiring companies and job seekers alike.

Everyone has a right to privacy. Though social media has blurred the lines between what constitutes public versus private, your personal information still needs to be protected. Every time you give up private information, whether that's a phone number, an email, or a birth date, you make yourself more vulnerable to cyberattacks. And public profiles aren't just targets for scammers, either. Potential employers, college admissions committees, and anyone else can access your social media and make judgments based on that information. So don't give up your right to privacy without a fight.

Cybercrime is on the rise and we don't have enough defenders fighting against it.  In the next few years, cybercrime is estimated to become a multi-trillion dollar industry and that money is going to fund more illegal things. The impact will be felt far beyond cybersecurity.

Phishing and scams are the bane of everyone's virtual inbox, but some attacks are more insidious than others. Skilled scammers can impersonate people or brands to lure email recipients into a false sense of security. If you want to protect your domain name, you need to take cybersecurity to the next level. DMARC, which stands for Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance, can prevent someone else from using your domain name on scam emails. In our latest episode of Cybersecurity Heroes, Callum Noad, a sales engineer at IRONSCALES, shared what you need to know to implement DMARC in your company.

If you want to keep your clients' data secure, you need to be actively working to better your systems and protocols. This requires two key things: defensibility and accountability. Your job as an MSP or an MSSP is not to protect your clients. It's to be defensible in your actions. This comes down to how you choose to protect your client's data and network, and how you educate your client. Working to mitigate risk is a never-ending part of cybersecurity. But by working proactively, you can get ahead of potential breaches. In this episode, Matt Lee, Senior Director of Security and Compliance at Pax8, shared his tips for mitigating cybersecurity risk through defensible and accountable practices, plus how to handle the responsibilities of an MSSP.

The landscape of cybersecurity threats has evolved from individual skilled attackers to a huge marketplace built by cybercrime organizations.  Now someone can make an efficient ransomware attack including the payload and the delivery mechanism, and go sell it to whoever can pay the price.  Bruce Snell, security strategy and transformation at NTT, explains that this shift means that the scale of cyberattacks has exponentially grown in recent years. Ten crime organizations now fuel hundreds of thousands of attacks.  In this episode, Bruce discusses how doing the bare minimum to protect your business is no longer enough and outlines the steps you need to take to boost your defenses.  Show Links • Check out NTT • Connect with Bruce Snell on LinkedIn or Twitter • Follow IRONSCALES on LinkedIn or Twitter • Connect with Brendon Rod on LinkedIn ------------------ We're stronger together.

Business email compromise may have been a big issue before COVID, but in the past couple of years it's grown exponentially. Not only have nefarious actors been raking in the money, but they've also changed tactics. In the early days of this threat, an actor would register a lookalike domain and hope an email from it would get through. Now 95% of this type of email is coming directly from a trusted coworker, vendor, or client accounts who've unknowingly put their credentials into a fake login form. Cracking down on this threat is harder when the source is someone you do business with. In this episode, Jeremy Schwarzrock, senior information security analyst at Alerus, gave us the rundown on how his team is putting protections in place to eliminate it.Show Links Check out Alerus Connect with Jeremy Schwarzock on LinkedIn or Twitter Follow IRONSCALES on LinkedIn or Twitter Connect with Brendon Rod on LinkedIn ----------------------------We're stronger together.

How secure your company is, comes down to its culture. You might have all of the right rules and policies in place, but if they're not enforced, then you've created a permissive security culture: no one will follow the rules. A secure company culture is not just your stance on how to be secure, it's how those policies are executed and enforced. In this episode, Al Alper, founder of CyberGuard360, talks to us about how to bring compliance into your company without it feeling like a burden, and explains how culture, compliance, and security all work together.

In order to get cyber insurance, companies have to fill out long questionnaires to show they're taking important security steps. With every passing year, these questionnaires get more complex, and companies have a harder time making sense of them. As a result, many don't get the coverage they need. One of the things the security community can do is identify the top priority actions that companies need to do to reduce impact, instead of leaving them feeling overwhelmed and under-protected. In this episode, Kirsten Bay, CEO of Cysurance, discusses the things the cybersecurity industry can do to improve the insurance process and what companies can do to make sure they're getting the right policy for them.

There are three pillars of cybersecurity: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.  Integrity is ensuring that your information doesn't get tampered with, and availability is making sure it's accessible to your company to use as necessary.  But confidentiality is where your information is protected and only shared with those who should have access to it.  It's a difficult and continual process, but there are ways to keep information confidential and your business safe.  In this episode of Cybersecurity Heroes, Dave Tuckman, director of engineering at Secure Smart Office, gives us his tips for staying compliant, promoting security awareness, and protecting your data. **Show Links** - Check out [Secure Smart Office](https://www.ssowow.com/) - Connect with Dave Tuckman on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davetuckman/) or [Twitter](https://twitter.com/dtuckmanSSO) - Follow IRONSCALES on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/ironscales/) or [Twitter](https://twitter.com/IRONSCALES) - Connect with Brendon Rod on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendonrod) ----------------------------- We're stronger together.
