different cultures have different perception and reaction to cybersecurity matters because cyberspace is as diverse as real life and it consists of and affected by all cultures involved. cultures are not significantly different in terms of understanding and identification of behaviors of their members. for example being lazy may have slightly same definition in multiple […]
one of the main reasons Security community has hard time securing “stuff”, is lack of understanding of Hackers community. without knowing motives, the motivations behind breaking into computer systems, and deep knowledge of hacking and cracking techniques, securing a system is pointless. results are telling us every single day that we are not doing the […]
the market has been acting as a reseller since late 90’s. we simply resell an old solution under a different shiny name again and again. one of the best examples is zero trust. with all noises around this concept, poor desperate companies waiting to resolve their security issues, or perhaps thirsty budgets waiting to find […]
It is very late for international community to act on fighting against Ransomware and Cyber-crime in general but still anything better than nothing. EU and US coordination on fighting ransomware reminds me of NATO foundation back in 1949. perhaps countries could have considered cyber crime a “global issue” sooner and act faster against organized international […]
it does but only if it is originated from a intelligent programmer. AI is as smart as the people who did its modeling. an artificial intelligence cannot be more intelligent than its origination. presuming AI will be helping us securing cyberspace is like presuming we will have a accurate Accounting system or flawless GL just […]
Relying on DAST/SAST is like investing in a restaurant where chef needs to be reminded of how to safely handle knife. no surprise that software developers have been dragging computer end-users to current situation when software products are no longer reliable, or they are packed with vulnerabilities. I have mentioned before that I believe the […]
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 […]
security community has been certainly obsessed with creating a new acronym every day instead of focusing on techniques and enhancing what is already there. basically we do not even try to enhance any thing, we just need to understand definitions and satisfy what has already been stated. XDR is one of those things now particularly […]
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, […]
