The bear market and looming recession have C-suites tightening company belts everywhere. While it's true that cybersecurity is uniquely affected in downturns, it is affected, nonetheless. Cybersecurity budgets are less elastic and, thus, less likely to be cut. Yet while CISOs are not losing their budgets, they are being called upon to do more without getting more res...

Security control validation is a term gaining traction in the cyber community. Is it just a buzzword pushed by marketing teams, or does it have practical implications and benefits? To understand the merits of security control validations, it helps to keep in mind the last few years’ evolution of the IT and cyber threat landscape, shares Yoni Leitersdof, US CTO at Cymulate.
On the IT front, much has happened. Agile development, with its frequent deployments that change the systems infrastructu...

The question, “How exposed are our assets right now,” represents a mindset shift in how organizations are approaching cybersecurity. It’s not a question that defensive security can answer.
The next step in the evolution of security teams is proactive cybersecurity where teams search for and address vulnerabilities and exposures, bringing together different parts of the cybersecurity program and enhancing cyber resilience.
Continuous Threat Exposure Management is the repeatable process, ...

Recently, the cyber-insurance market is seeing claims value reaching up to three times the initial claim amount. At the same time, underwriting a cyber-insurance policy is becoming increasingly complex due to the advanced technical knowledge required. Industries across all verticals (as well as governmental institutions and NGOs) are increasingly looking to purchase cyber insurance.
With the pace of change accelerating, cyber-insurance providers need to adapt fast and adjust today’...

Abstract: Network traffic validation is key to safeguard against cyber threats. Network controls like Intrusion Detection Prevention Systems (IDPS) are just like other security controls that must be validated by offensive testing to detect drift, optimize security posture, and prove cyber resilience. For advanced controls testing, Cymulate Breach and Attack Simulation Advanced Scenarios now includes network traffic simulation via replay of Packet Captures (PCAPs). This blog post explores the ...
