People behave unpredictably because we are sometimes driven by emotion and by an innate desire to trust and please other people. Also, we tend to take the path of least resistance, even if that path inadvertently creates a cybersecurity risk. Attackers understand these human traits, which is why they are frequently successful in exploiting people to get around more predictable machine-based defenses. As an example, consider phishing. It's estimated that globally, 8 million phishing email messages are opened every day, and of those, 800,000 recipients of the malicious messages click on the embedded links. Ten percent of the people who click on a link actually give their information, such as login credentials for personal applications or their employer's applications.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here]]> 2016-11-04T08:42:00+00:00 http://www.networkworld.com/article/3138582/security/25-to-30-of-users-struggle-with-identifying-phishing-threats-study-says.html#tk.rss_security www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=248442 False None None None Network World - Magazine Info data breach?

Although the hack might only take a few minutes to pull off, it might take weeks to find and fix.Other “key findings” of the report include: Should any of these devices become infected, hackers can plant backdoors to create and launch an automated IoT botnet DDoS attack. Cybercriminals can leverage jamming or spoofing techniques to hack smart enterprise security systems, enabling them to control motion sensors, locks and surveillance equipment. With VoIP phones, exploiting configuration settings to evade authentication can open opportunities for snooping and recording of calls. Via connected HVAC systems and energy meters, hackers can force critical rooms (e.g. server rooms) to overheat critical infrastructure and ultimately cause physical damage. Potential scenarios for after an IoT device is hacked include using compromised smart video conferencing systems for spying via camera and microphone, disabling security cameras to allow physical break-ins, snooping on calls via VoIP phones and snagging private company information via connected printers. If an attacker were to exploit a smart light bulb, Wi-Fi credentials could be extracted and used to carry out more attacks. A smart fridge could be exploited so that an attacker obtains user credentials.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here]]> 2016-10-26T08:01:00+00:00 http://www.networkworld.com/article/3135650/security/samy-kamkar-hacks-iot-security-camera-to-show-exploitable-dangers-to-enterprise.html#tk.rss_security www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=225826 False None None None Network World - Magazine Info report in collaboration with the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) titled, The State of Cyber Security Professional Careers, to ask a number of questions and truly capture the voice of cybersecurity professionals. As part of this project, cybersecurity professionals were asked if their CISO's (or similar role) participation with executive management (i.e. CEO, board of directors, etc.) was at an adequate level.  Just over (56%) half answered “yes,” but 16% thought the level of CISO participation with executive management should increase somewhat while another 12% believe that the CISO's level of participation with executive management should increase significantly.  The remaining 16% responded, “don't know” (note: I am an ESG employee).   To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here]]> 2016-10-26T07:46:00+00:00 http://www.networkworld.com/article/3135511/security/cybersecurity-isn-t-always-a-boardroom-issue.html#tk.rss_security www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=225702 False None None None Network World - Magazine Info according to a report released today.
