New Canadian Cyberattack Data Says 80% of SMBs Are Vulnerable

By Tripwire Guest Authors on Tue, 10/25/2022
Image If you were to take a look at the cybersecurity news cycle, you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s only large enterprises with expansive customer bases and budgets that are the most vulnerable to attacks. But that’s not entirely true. Even if it’s at a much smaller scale, small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) still have...

Shifting Left with SAST, DAST, and SCA: Advanced Best Practices

By Tripwire Guest Authors on Thu, 10/20/2022
Image In the past, teams incorporated security testing far after the development stage of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). Security testing would influence whether the application would to proceed to production, or get passed back to the developers for remediation. This process caused delays while teams worked on...

Stop blaming employees for cybersecurity breaches

By Tripwire Guest Authors on Tue, 10/18/2022
Image When companies drive a wedge between their workforce and their security culture, not only do they reduce best practices, but they also increase stress and jeopardise secure behaviours. We need to stop blaming employees for cybersecurity breaches and look at the real reasons that data is compromised. Furthermore, as long as...

Defense in Depth: 4 Essential Layers of ICS Security

By Editorial Staff on Tue, 09/20/2022
Image It is always said that security is never a one-size-fits-all solution.  This is true not only because of the apparent infinite varieties of equipment in each individual organization, but also, and perhaps more importantly, the different ways that every organization views security. Some spend lots of time focusing on physical...

Industrial Cybersecurity - What You Don't Know Might Hurt You

Mon, 08/15/2022
Getting a clear assessment of your assets is the first step toward developing a mature OT network or control system. A well maintained asset inventory allows your organization to quickly manage risk affecting your operations availability, reliability and safety. Industrial environments often need to map assets to NIST, ITIL, ISO, COBIT or process automation standards like ANSI/ISA99-IEC-62443. You can achieve significant efficiency improvement and save time within industrial environments by automating asset management instead of following manual spreadsheet processes. Cyber security experts David Meltzer, Chief Research Officer at Tripwire, Tony Gore, CEO at Red Trident Inc., and John Powell, Senior Critical Infrastructure Engineer at Red Trident Inc., will discuss the practical 1-2-3 basics of industrial cyber security and how to get started automating asset management. Attendees will also learn how to build an effective strategy for protecting industrial assets - networks, endpoints and controllers. Key Takeaways: Learn how to automate and simplify the inventory process and secure your assets Understand what cyber security standards may apply to your unique environment Hear real-world tips on how to prioritize and work across functional silos within your company Receive an industrial cyber security assessment checklist to help gauge your starting point

A Tripwire Zero Trust Reference Architecture

The concept of Zero Trust Architecture is fairly straightforward. Networks and systems have been traditionally designed with the assumption that everybody inside a defined perimeter can be trusted and that everybody outside that perimeter is hostile. With that assumption, the idea of building an impenetrable wall around that perimeter makes perfect sense. Over time, and as...

Understanding Your Attack Surface: The First Step in Risk-based Security Intelligence

As chief information security officer (CISO), it’s now a job requirement to effectively communicate with your non-technical C-suite and board of directors—preferably not just after there’s been a breach. This is the first in a series of executive white papers designed to share strategies for reducing your attack surface risk as well as how to clearly and objectively communicate your overall security posture to non-technical executives.
