According to Tom Niehaus, Executive Vice President at CTG, securing your own organization is not enough to prevent attacks. "You might do the best job in the world," but if your suppliers or business associates aren't secure, "your organization remains vulnerable." In this video, Niehaus and Chad Alessi, Managing Director of Cybersecurity at CTG, discuss some of today's challenges and how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Zero Trust can help.Alessi warns that threat actors are already weaponizing AI to probe networks for vulnerabilities at an unprecedented speed and scale. In response, he advocates for defensive AI systems that can analyze network behavior patterns and detect anomalies invisible to traditional security tools.Learn more about CTG: https://www.ctg.com/industries/healthcareHealth IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

Dave Sobel engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Jon Murchison, CEO of BlackPoint Cyber, about the current state of cybersecurity policies and practices. They discuss the initiatives surrounding "secure by design" and "secure by default," emphasizing the challenges faced by managed IT service providers in implementing these ideals. Jon expresses skepticism about the immediate impact of these policies on the ground level, noting that while they are well-intentioned, they often fall short of practical application in real-world scenarios.The discussion shifts to the dynamics of responsibility and liability within the cybersecurity landscape. Jon highlights the disparity between software vendors and service providers regarding accountability when security breaches occur. He argues that while security providers should be held liable for secure code design and regular penetration testing, the complexities of cybersecurity make it difficult to assign blame definitively. This nuanced perspective underscores the need for a balanced approach to liability that encourages innovation without stifling progress.As the conversation progresses, Jon shares his insights on the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) and its potential as a broader standard. He acknowledges the foundational value of existing frameworks like NIST and ISO but critiques their lack of practical guidance for organizations. Jon advocates for a more prescriptive approach that focuses on actionable steps for hardening security measures, rather than vague compliance requirements that can lead to checkbox exercises.Finally, Jon emphasizes the critical importance of identity management in cybersecurity. He explains how threat actors have evolved their tactics, often exploiting legitimate credentials to navigate networks undetected. The episode concludes with Jon discussing the future of posture management and the need for improved security measures around automation, highlighting the ongoing challenges and opportunities in the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape. Supported by: https://www.coreview.com/msp/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

In this episode of the Security Swarm Podcast, host Andy Syrewicze and guest Romain Basset dive into the top spear phishing methods used in both the enterprise space and across all businesses, based on internal research conducted by Hornetsecurity. The conversation covers spear phishing techniques, including initial contact, tax/W2, C-suite/CEO, lawyer, banking, and gift card fraud. They analyze the differences in the prevalence of these methods between enterprises and smaller businesses and provide insights on how organizations can combat these threats through training and robust processes.   Do you want to join the conversation? Join us in our Security Lab LinkedIn Group!  Key Takeaways:  Spear phishing attacks have evolved from obvious wire transfer requests to more subtle techniques like initial contact fraud, where threat actors establish a relationship to build credibility.  Tax fraud and W-2 phishing remain prevalent, especially around tax season, as attackers try to obtain personal information like Social Security numbers.  C-suite fraud, where attackers impersonate executives, continues to be a major threat, highlighting the importance of robust processes to verify requests.  Lawyer fraud, targeting enterprises more than smaller businesses, leverages the credibility of legal communications to extort money or gather information.  Gift card fraud has emerged as the top spear phishing attack across enterprises and smaller businesses, as it is less likely to raise red flags than larger financial transactions.  Adaptability and creativity of threat actors are key factors, as they continuously evolve their techniques to bypass security measures and user awareness.  Timestamps:  (03:26) Discussion on initial contact fraud  (07:12) Exploration of tax fraud and W-2 phishing  (13:35) Examination of C-suite fraud and the importance of processes  (19:25) Lawyer Fraud and Enterprise vs. SMB Differences  (23:47) Banking Fraud and Processes   (26:39) Gift Card Fraud  Episode Resources:  Security Lab LinkedIn Group What is a Spear Phishing attack?
