Several options can be considered to ensure effective security for cloud-based workloads, writes ExtraHop regional sales manager for ANZ Glen Maloney.

Ireland’s National Cyber Security Centre points to the ‘Conti’ ransomware variant, which caused the HSE's IT systems to shut down over the weekend.

The report details the ongoing use of deprecated and insecure protocols, including Server Message Block version one (SMBv1), which was exploited by the WannaCry ransomware variant.

"Budget funding, awareness and technology solutions are sorely needed today to support Australian business cybersecurity."

The ways in which bad actors can use DNS to mount attacks are numerous. Here are some of the most popular ones.

"This integration with NDR partners provides mutual customers a comprehensive, holistic cybersecurity solution with enhanced visibility, streamlined detection and response and frictionless automation."

Security buyers and practitioners should carefully examine XDR offerings and compare them against their own existing capabilities and requirements before taking the plunge.

The network detection and response company says between late March and early October 2020, detections of probable malicious activity increased by approximately 150%, including detections of lateral movement, privilege escalation and command and control beaconing.

The company opened the Australian data centre facilities so that it could host its security offering locally.

One in three IT environments are vulnerable to a cyber threat known as Ripple20. This is according to a new report from ExtraHop, a cloud-native network detection and response solutions provider.

The vulnerabilities have the potential to ‘ripple’ through complex software supply chains, enabling attackers to steal data or execute code.

Unless IoT technology is visible on the network, organisations will find themselves at risk with an unmanageable high-tech morass, warns ExtraHop ANZ regional sales manager Glen Maloney.

In this interview, we speak with ExtraHop's ANZ regional sales manager, Glen Maloney.

The distribution partnership will enable ExtraHop to accelerate its overall business growth and meet the increasing demand for its range of network detection and response solutions.

At home and abroad, organisations have joined the rush to embrace Internet of Things (IoT) technology, but a new survey shows they’re only just beginning to wake up to the enormous risk those devices pose, writes ExtraHop ANZ Regional Sales Manager Glen Maloney.

Gartner’s Market Guide for Network Detection and Response (NDR) has named ExtraHop as a Representative Vendor this year.

The companies say the partnership will marry network visibility, machine learning (ML) behavioural threat detection and decryption of SSL/TLS sessions.

‘Security solutions good, more security solutions better’ is the mentality behind high tech protection procurement, but it's not the best choice.

"Reveal(x) 360 is the culmination of a multi-year R&D investment to secure data centre, remote sites, and cloud workloads with frictionless deployment and actionable insights that can be securely accessed from anywhere.”

Has your business found a use case for the Internet of Things (IoT) yet? If not, there’s a fair chance it’s already found you.

Using aggregate data from across its global user base, ExtraHop analysed business-related device activity during a one week period at the end of March 2020, which was compared to activity from a similar study of the same global user base conducted in November last year. 

More than half survey of respondents believe that a lack of network visibility poses high or very high risks to their organisation.

In an era of heightened risk, effective communication between cybersecurity chiefs and business leaders at the board level has never been more important.

Thankfully, there are some effective steps that can be taken to overcome four of the most common security issues, thereby reducing the attack surface.
