Top Five Cybersecurity Predictions for 2025

Has your organization jumped on the passwordless authentication bandwagon yet? If not, it should. Passwordless authentication embraces possession factors, such as certificates and hardware tokens, and inherence factors, such as fingerprints and face scans, to replace legacy password and single sign-on (SSO) authentication methods. It also strengthens your organization’s security posture while improving the user experience for accessing company applications and data. Join Steve Piper, Founder & CEO of CyberEdge (and proud CISSP), as he reviews modern passwordless authentication technologies and the benefits organizations have achieved by implementing them.

Passwordless Authentication: A New Reality or a Pipe Dream?

Artificial intelligence (AI) has bolstered cybersecurity solutions across the board. Security teams have more ways to detect advanced threats than ever before, and organizations are much better equipped to measure and reduce their attack surfaces. However, AI also benefits cyber adversaries with improved phishing and spear phishing techniques and new methods for tricking unsuspecting victims using deepfake content spawned by generative AI. Join Steve Piper, Founder & CEO of CyberEdge (and proud CISSP), as he provides a comprehensive analysis of AI's dual role in both fortifying and challenging modern cyber defenses. Discover who's winning the AI arms race in cybersecurity.

Impact of AI on the Cybersecurity Industry: Who's Got the Upper Hand?

Compromising end user computing devices through spear phishing attacks is frequently cited as the initial step of advanced persistent threats, often leading to data breaches. Year after year, IT security professionals cite “low security awareness among employees” as a top inhibitor to IT security’s success in CyberEdge’s annual Cyberthreat Defense Report. So, why aren’t more security teams adequately addressing this challenge? Join Steve Piper, Founder & CEO of CyberEdge (and proud CISSP), as he details five ways to invest in your company’s human firewalls.

Five Smart Ways to Invest in Your Human Firewalls

The ‘Hottest’ IT Security Technologies in 2024

Google and Yahoo announced a new set of requirements for email delivery last October, resulting in a rapid increase of DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) authentication adoption. However, meeting DMARC requirements is just the beginning. Impersonation risk remains — in the form of spoofed emails, brand abuse and threats from fake or compromised suppliers. Hijacked business communications often lead to significant financial losses and reputation damage. So how can your organization further mitigate impersonation risk even after you achieve DMARC compliance?  

Join Proofpoint and ISC2 on July 18, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern/10:00 a.m. Pacific as we discuss: 
-Common impersonation tactics and real-world attack examples  
-Challenges and benefits of enforcing email authentication  
-Risks posed by impersonated suppliers  
-How AI is affecting threats like business email compromise (BEC) 
-Critical controls that help reduce impersonation risk

Beyond DMARC: Best Practices for Impersonation  Protection

Denial of service (DoS) attacks more than doubled in 2023 compared with previous years. Attack size, frequency, and sophistication, have all increased which suggests that DDoS is far from being a solved problem.  

Gobal geopolitical tensions rose dramatically during 2023 and, by no coincidence, so too did the quantity and ferocity of DDoS attacks. After a small but steady decline in denial-of-service attacks during 2022 and prior, 2023 saw an explosion of incidents many of which can be directly linked to political events and growing hacktivism. While many DDoS attacks are short lived inconveniences, many organizations and countries face persistent bombardment and increasingly sophisticated attacks. It begs the question: do organizations accurately evaluate the risk posed by DDoS attacks? 

Join F5 and ISC2 July 11, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern/10:00 a.m. Pacific as we discuss the findings from F5 Labs' annual DDoS report. Join this threat research driven webinar to ...  

-Understand how and why DDoS attacks have grown, and the tools and techniques used by threat actors 

-Explore the differences between regions and industries to understand how and why some are more targeted that others 

-Learn about effective mitigation strategies and the questions you should be asking of your DDoS protection solution
