Even before working from anywhere became the norm, organizations of every size were already becoming more reliant on mobile devices and productivity apps. But this reliance has also opened users, devices, and data up to more risk.
On the latest episode of the Security Soapbox podcast, I spoke with Ramy Houssaini, Chief Cyber and Technology Risk Officer at BNP Paribas, about the challenges Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) face in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
Lookout Threat Lab researchers have uncovered enterprise-grade Android surveillanceware used by the government of Kazakhstan within its borders. Based on our analysis, the spyware is likely developed by Italian spyware vendor RCS Lab S.p.A.
Recently, Atlassian issued a major security notice to all of its users about a critical vulnerability, identified as CVE-2022-26134, in its widely-used Confluence Server solution. The vulnerability would allow an unauthenticated malicious actor to execute arbitrary code on a Confluence Server or Data Center instance that could grant an attacker full command of the vulnerable server.
With the rise in identity theft and threats that seek to compromise corporate applications and emails, passwords offer a critical line of defense. Whether it’s individuals or businesses, Lookout will now offer enhanced protection to safeguard our customers’ sensitive personal and corporate data.
SSE is like shining a light on shadow IT – clouds, apps, and internet usage can no longer remain hidden. The time is now to accept that security requirements are at a critical turning point. By harnessing the many powers of converged security, SSE diminishes the worries of the unknown – regaining visibility and control with granular policies.
I’m thrilled that Lookout has joined forces with Ivanti. By integrating our respective Security Service Edge (SSE) technologies, we’re offering Ivanti customers the opportunity to smoothly transition into a Zero Trust security posture without leaving behind their existing tools.
Even five years after Lookout and Citizen Lab discovered it, advanced mobile spyware Pegasus remains highly relevant as revelation of its widespread usage and evolving capabilities — such as the ability to deliver zero-click attacks — continue to surface.
We live in an IT world surrounded by buzzwords that are largely marketing gimmicks. Zero Trust, for example, is a concept no one actually understands and is slapped onto everything, including derivatives like Zero Trust networks (ZTN) and Zero Trust network access (ZTNA). Then there’s Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), Security Service Edge (SSE) and everything that falls under these frameworks such as Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Secure Web Gateway (SWG).
From scams targeting consumers, to those targeting finance and HR departments, tax-related phishing attacks have become so pervasive that the IRS issued an annual advisory as a warning to businesses and consumers.
See why this large oil and gas company chose Lookout as they migrated to the cloud to help implement granular access control for sensitive HR data, achieve compliance, and prevent malware from being uploaded to their infrastructure.
Today we live in a closely interconnected world, where no one country is less connected than another. As a result, the cyber threats initially directed at Ukrainian government bodies and infrastructure could easily be targeted at other nations, whether they be attacks on supply chains or the deployment of ransomware and other advanced malware.
Organizations need to streamline their security operations — that’s where SSE comes in. But not all products are made equal. To reduce risk and protect data, organizations need a SSE platform that is built with native data, user and endpoint protection capabilities.
