DNS SecurityHow DNS Security Helps Combat RansomwareEveryone knows that Ransomware has become costly as attacks target organizations in every industry vertical. Governments, the private sector, and critical infrastructure owners face intolerable data, financial, and reputational losses with seemingly no way to stop it. But perhaps weโre not trying the right way. In most cases, ransomware needs the Domain Name System (DNS) so it can achieve its malicious goals. However, security solutions such as Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW) have limited DNS coverage in the security ecosystem. Purpose-built DNS...
DNS SecurityData Theft via DNS – Are You Safe?With cybercriminals using increasingly sophisticated mechanisms, and insider threats still prevalent, organizations have come to accept that the threat of a data breach is here to stay. Rather than wondering โifโ my business will become a victim of data theft or ransomware, the question now is โwhenโ. The market stats are pretty scary: according to AV-Test Institute, more than 1 billion malware programs exist, and Sonic Wallโs 2022 report states that 40 million ransomware attacks occur every month. Despite all...
Privacy LawsData Regulations: Time to Step up Your Data Theft ProtectionTodayโs data-driven economy is being led by personal data, so naturally focus is turning more strongly to privacy and protection. New regulations have appeared over the last few years, with a rapid acceleration in regions such as North America and APAC. While itโs only fair that regulators introduce these new laws with their associated fines for data breaches, companies are still finding it extremely challenging to ensure confidentiality of their data. Cybercriminals are smart guys – data theft and ransomware...
