The malware and IT security panorama has undergone a major change, and enterprise security will never be the same. Hackers have improved drastically, both in terms of volume and sophistication, new techniques are allowing threats to remain on corporate networks for much longer periods than ever before.

It’s been two years since one of the most notorious cyber-attacks in history; however, the controversy surrounding Ashley Madison, the online dating service for extramarital affairs, is far from forgotten. Just to refresh your memory, Ashley Madison suffered a massive security breach in 2015 that exposed over 300 GB of user data, including users’

We’ve been warning for some time now that traditional antivirus solutions are no longer effective against the newer threats. Targeted and zero-day attacks, as well as the dreaded malwareless threats, are a growing concern for businesses. And not only that, we have also emphasized time and again the importance of preventing the losses and reputational d

Ransomware is increasingly common, is evolving, and, to complicate matters, no longer only affects computers. This form of malware that thrives on encrypting data for a ransom paid in cryptocurrency also affects smartphones, TVs and any other connected device. As the price of ransoms soar (in some cases, it has already reached into the millions), it’s beginn

Cybercriminals are after any size company that has access to people’s information. Over the last few years, we have seen so many news about stolen data information from large enterprises and agencies such as Yahoo, LinkedIn, CIA, and Google. However, these are not the real victims of the cyber-attacks. According to the recently released 2016 State of SMB Cyb

There’s a new challenge that lies ahead for businesses that have operations within the European Union.

Cyber-attackers are always finding new ways of bypassing the protection systems installed on computers in order to avoid detection and steal user data. In that respect, Black Hat hackers have always turned to malware-based attacks (phishing, network worms, or the dreaded Trojans with ransomware as the most dangerous example) to reach their goals: break into

Something as apparently inoffensive as employees keeping up with the lives of ‘celebs’ on the Internet could be far more dangerous than you think for your company’s IT systems. Whether you like it or not, some employees take advantage of dead time (and not-so-dead time) to look for all the latest gossip and news on the Web. There may not be anything too ris

Retailers, hotels and restaurants have all been victimized through the same Achilles' heel that cybercriminals continue to attack: the point-of-sale system, where customers' payment data is routinely processed.  These digital cash registers are often the target of malware designed to steal credit card numbers in the thousands or even millions. This year,

On any given day, employees at your company click a multitude of links and many of them come from unknown sources. But clicking these mysterious URLs endangers more than your security, it can also threaten your business. Curiosity can cost you. The sole purpose of these links is to transfer malware onto your system. What’s worse is that, as demonstrat

The fleet of computers in your business may be protected but that does not mean that your corporate information is safe. Beyond tablets, there are a number of devices such as mobile phones and smart watches that have joined the list of gadgets that every enterprise must control and protect to prevent IT risks.

As cars become more computerized, they're also facing a greater risk of being hacked. That’s why Volkswagen is founding a new cyber security company devoted to protecting next-generation vehicles.On Wednesday, the automaker said it would partner with a former Israeli intelligence agency director to jointly establish a new company, called Cymotive Technol

The majority of employees within an organisation are hired to execute specific jobs, such as marketing, managing projects, manufacturing goods and overseeing financial investments. Their main – sometimes only – priority is to efficiently complete their core business activity, so information security is usually only a secondary consideration.Consequently, emp

In a recent study by Panda Security in collaboration with Nielsen, 91% of Spanish SMEs confirmed that they were victims of daily IT attacks. The viruses that wreaked havoc on their systems included Trojans (33%) and spyware (25%).
