there are hundreds of security frameworks out there, all somehow accredited and accepted by industry, all good, but compliance with any, or even all of them does not mean anything to state of security, does not affect the state of security and it is not a metric for security. being compliant is different than being […]
you have probably heard or even sick of it: security is a journey…it never ends…security is not a destination…yada yada is security really a journey, or let’s say, does it have to be an endless journey where we actually do not enjoy or even hate to have such a journey? security as a journey yes […]
it has been relatively a long time since threat intelligence sources started to integrate what they call as “dark web” into their system of data/intelligence gathering, prioritization and delivery as a service to threat hunters. nothing really wrong with that, it is actually a reasonable and even crucial part of any threat hunting system, but […]
information security management is almost similar to every other thing that is Subject to Management, or requires management, and I am not going to explain why we need a management function in a system to make sure system is running and functioning as expected, at least not in this article. by similarity, I mean there […]
There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path, right? just because I have something, does not mean I know something, or I do something. just because there are technologies, software or tools for a thing, let’s say GDPR compliance metrics, patch management, ITIL platforms, vulnerability scanning, application security testing…and so on, […]
It is really funny when they call it one of the most sophisticated hacks in history and stuff like that, because it is actually one of the most stupid hacks of all time. Nothing about SolarWinds or whatever they want to call it is really surprising to me. Except for one thing: how those companies […]
no doubt that users are the main problem in the whole concept of cyber defense, as we call it weakest link. Now, Awareness and Training as security community typically has been doing is neither effective nor actually deliverable. Imagine we would want to continue law enforcement and public awareness by means of “Most Wanted” posted […]
Multiple reputable security solutions in the market that calls itself AI, including some I have personally used, is not even close to what I would consider an AI system. So I started asking a simple question: is there anyone actually checking these claims? The answer is not very encouraging. The term AI has become another […]
we presume Security is always equal inconvenient, either form consumer point of view, or developer. as a consumer you have to remember passwords and configure stuff, and as a developer to need to make sure you put controls around authentication process and how passwords are being used. I agree that is inconvenient but are we […]
cyber attacks that you hear about them in news these days are not advanced at all, this is security community acting so naive and blind, knowingly and unknowingly which then implies into thinking that attacks are sophisticated. in mature industries like agriculture, professionals study their enemies and for centuries they have been able to defeat […]
It has been logically proven to me that some elements of cyber security of any internet user is solely on shoulder of ISP but that has been the last thing we ever cared perhaps because we tend to complicate simple things! ISP is supposed to be the only owner, or main layer to internet user […]
Have we really been fixing cyber-security issues and challenges, or we just want to make money out of “lack of awareness”? The simplest analogy I can think of is cigarette and generally tabaco industry. If we really believed that those are against society and individual health, how much is cost of cancer and other complications […]
