Cision: The research covered 50 medium-sized personal data breach cases with a damage scale of more than 1,000 cases and less than 1 million cases caused by unauthorized access and categorized the personal data breach cases into eight industries: manufacturers, retail, services and infrastructure, software and telecommunications, trading companies, financial services, advertising/publishing/media, and government/public offices/organizations, based on the information of the companies that announced the breach.
DARKReading: Technology and security companies teamed up with the financial services and telecommunications industries to disrupt the command-and-control (C2) infrastructure used to manage the well-known Trickbot ransomware to infect more than a million computing devices, the firms behind the takedown.
Institutional Asset Manager: Cyber-enabled fraud attempts are escalating and evolving, and the current remote working environment has created additional vulnerabilities that firms need to address. The memo, produced by the SBAI’s Governance Working Group, provides guidance on key controls that help protect managers’ payment processes. It also can be used as a tool for investors to evaluate these controls during due diligence.
Security Magazine: Security teams in the financial services sector are experiencing even more exacting demands as they defend their organizations in a world under a new and unexpected threat — a global pandemic, says a new Accenture report, "2020 Future Cyber Threats: The latest extreme but plausible threat scenarios in financial services."
Business Wire: CyberSaint, the developer of the leading platform for automated, intelligent cybersecurity program management, today announced the availability of new features supporting the Financial Services Sector Cybersecurity Profile within the CyberStrong platform, including automated mappings between those standards and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, FFIEC, and others.
ZDNet: The general public faces phishing attempts, spam, malvertising, and more in their daily lives. However, in the business realm, successfully targeting major companies -- including banks, industrial giants, and medical facilities -- can be far more lucrative for cybercriminals.
GBHackers: Big companies such as Facebook have allowed their staff to work from home permanently. Shopify, a Canadian-based e-commerce company, has announced that it has become “digital by default.” Since many companies have rapidly adopted the arrangements of semi-remote working conditions, they need to be very quick in mitigating the cyber risks.
Security Magazine: A new report, Taking the Pulse of Government Cybersecurity 2020 by Nominet surveyed government cybersecurity professionals in the U.S., U.K. and Middle East. The research was conducted by the Information Security Media Group and shows a clear perception that collaboration with the private sector is desirable in order to keep pace with change and innovation to ensure robust national cyber defense.
Businesswire: Neustar, Inc., a global information services and technology company and leader in identity resolution, released its latest cyberthreats and trends report which identifies significant shifts in distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack patterns in the first half of 2020. Neustar’s Security Operations Centre (SOC) saw a 151% increase in the number of DDoS attacks compared to the same period in 2019. These included the largest and longest attacks that Neustar has ever mitigated at 1.17 Terabits-per-second (Tbps) and 5 days and 18 hours respectively. These figures are representative of the growing number, volume and intensity of network-type cyberattacks as organisations shifted to remote operations and workers’ reliance on the internet increased.
Proskauer: A cyber breach can have serious legal, financial, and reputational consequences for a fund sponsor, as described in our previous post. As such, cybersecurity threats must be treated as business risks, not just a potential IT problem. Senior management at fund sponsors should take the lead to ensure that the sponsor is taking appropriate actions to protect itself against cyber risks. There are several steps that senior management can guide the fund sponsor to take to prevent breaches from occurring and to mitigate the impact when they do occur.
