Rapid7 analyzed the details of 453,492 breached Yahoo! records and found that the majority of the published passwords were only "poor" or "weak" in strength due to a number of basic password security errors. In addition, over 100,000 Gmail accounts and thousands of Hotmail and AOL accounts may also have been compromised if users had reused their passwords across accounts. This infographic details other key findings from the analysis.

Rapid7, the leading provider of security risk intelligence solutions, analyzed data collected and categorized by the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse Chronology of Data Breaches. Using this data, the company outlined patterns for government data breaches, including year, month, location and breach type patterns. This information and tips for protecting infrastructure can ensure that government IT environments stay protected against malicious attacks and unintended disclosure.

This whitepaper details research conducted by Rapid7, which reveals that around 40-50 million network-enabled devices are at risk due to vulnerabilities found in the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol. UPnP enables devices such as routers, printers, network-attached storage (NAS), media players and smart TVs to communicate with each other. The paper investigates how three groups of security flaws relating to the UPnP protocol are exposing millions of users to attacks that could lead to a remote compromise of the vulnerable device.

The Consensus Audit Guidelines (CAG) provide critical U.S. Federal government infrastructures with a proactive cyber-security framework to prioritize critical IT security concerns. The goal of applying CAG is not simply to become compliant with regulations, but rather to provide a template for making security best practices an integral part of system design and operation so that Federal agencies can ensure their systems are capable of withstanding the more frequent and in-depth attacks found in an increasingly complex threat landscape. This compliance guide will provide readers with an overview of the requirements as well as suggested steps in achieving CAG compliance.

All government agencies, government contractors, and organizations that exchange data directly with government systems must be FISMA compliant. This may include such diverse entities as data clearinghouses, state government departments, and government military subcontractors if data is exchanged directly with Federal government systems. Coverage may expand to include public and private sector entities that utilize manage or run critical infrastructures if FISMA security controls are combined with the Consensus Audit Guidelines as part of the new U.S. Information and Communications Enhancement (ICE) Act.

The American Healthcare system is getting a complete facelift thanks to incentives to adopt Health Information Technology introduced by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act. The HITECH Act contains tools for the enforcement of HIPAA regulations, as well as incentives to accelerate the adoption of information systems that reduce costs, gain efficiencies, and ultimately improve patient care while keeping patient health information secure. This paper examines the HITECH Act, the enforcement mechanisms the HITECH Act provides for HIPAA, and the key security challenges healthcare services face in order to protect patient health information as part of becoming HIPAA compliant.

The cornerstones of a proactive security strategy are vulnerability management and risk assessment. However, traditional “scan-and-patch” vulnerability scanning approaches are inadequate for dynamic, virtualized environments. Traditional scanners cannot track changes in real time, so they cannot accurately measure constantly changing risks. Anyone charged with securing IT assets needs to understand the dynamic security risks inherent to virtualized environments, and more importantly, what to do to mitigate those risks. This whitepaper explores the challenges of securing a virtualized environment and gives actionable solutions to address them.

A penetration test is often a key requirement for compliance with key regulations. But while many organizations know they need penetration testing, it can be hard to know how to fit them in to a larger security program, or even how to get started. Our whitepaper, "What is Penetration Testing? An Introduction for IT Managers," is a clear and succinct introduction to the core principles and best practices of penetration testing.

It seems like we've been hearing a lot about phishing in the news in recent years, and this threat hasn't abated yet. Why are attacks via phishing -and social engineering in general -so prevalent and so effective? This whitepaper examines the many different methods employed in phishing attacks and social engineering campaigns, and offers a solution-based approach to mitigating risk from these attack vectors.

In the thrilling conclusion to 2023, ransomware groups had a banner year, really outdoing themselves in the "make everyone's life miserable" department. LockBit 3.0 took gold in the hacking olympics, followed by the plucky upstarts Clop and ALPHV/BlackCat. Apparently, 48% of organizations were feeling left out and decided to get in on the cyber attack action. Business services won the "most likely to get digitally mugged" award, with education and retail nipping at their heels. Hackers expanded their repertoire beyond boring old encryption to the much more exciting world of extortion. The US, UK and Canada took top honors in the "countries most likely to pay up" category. Bitcoins were the currency of choice for discerning hackers, because who doesn't love untraceable money?

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/why-teams-call-analytics-is-critical-to-your-entire-business Nothing is as frustrating and noticeable as being in an important call and being unable to see or hear the other person. Not surprising then, that issues with Teams calls are among the most common problems users call their helpdesk for. Having in depth insight into everything relevant going on at the user’s device, local network, ISP and Microsoft itself during the call is crucial for good Microsoft Teams Call quality support. To ensure a quick and adequate solution and to ensure your users get the most out of their Microsoft 365. But did you know that ‘bad calls’ are also an excellent indicator of other problems arising? Precisely because it is so noticeable!? Like the canary in the mine, bad calls can be early indicators of problems. Problems that might otherwise not have been noticed for a while but can have a big impact on productivity and satisfaction. Join this session by Christoph Adler to learn how true Microsoft Teams call quality analytics helped other organizations troubleshoot bad calls and identify and fix problems that impacted Teams calls or the use of Microsoft365 in general. See what it can do to keep your users happy and productive! In this session we will cover - Why CQD data alone is not enough to troubleshoot call problems - The importance of attributing call problems to the right call participant - What call quality analytics can do to help you quickly find, fix-, and prevent problems - Why having retrospective detailed insights matters - Real life examples of how others have used Microsoft Teams call quality monitoring to problem shoot problems with their ISP, network, device health and more.
