There’s a pervasive, false perception in contemporary politics. The candidate that advocates spending the most on something cares most about solving the problem. Today’s endpoint protection suites are similarly ranked. Those with the longer list of features are ranked higher. Similarly, like features are seldom compared one-to-one but are presumed little different among different suites. […]

One of today’s most widespread cybersecurity principles seems prudent on the surface but has made the enterprise cyber program a bloated, lumbering beast of burden. Defense in depth is simple to intuit; it is as obvious as two heads are better than one. Reality demands, however, that the enterprise optimize. How many are too many? […]

If ever in a freezing cold room with IT/Sec-Ops people, raising the topic of patch management can heat it up fast. Patching applications on an organization’s client and server endpoints is far more challenging than most people realize. The uncertainty over what applications need to be patched in the next cycle makes it seem a […]

Soldiers in combat over the last century rapidly grow accustomed to the distant cacophony of artillery and bombs. Some even get desensitized to nearby explosions. How many of us react with shock and horror at a data breach headline? Few do. We all hear them rumbling in the distance all the time. Look at all […]

THE ENTERPRISE IS BLOATED WITH CYBERSECURITY JUNK FOOD Over the last decade, adversaries have been quite artful in managing to steal from the enterprise, mostly by compromising its poorly protected endpoints. Year after year, the adversaries and defenders add new tools and practices to their craft. The adversary simply discards one thing when something better […]

The Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities in Intel and other CPU’s are most disturbing because these exist beneath the reach of software-based cyber controls to explicitly intervene. To mitigate risks from the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities in Intel and other CPU’s, AppGuard customers need not do anything other than implement operating system patches, as should be […]

This week, researchers presented at Black Hat Europe in London information regarding an extremely dangerous new “fileless” attack vector that affects all Windows operating systems. The researchers observed that the attack bypasses many widely used endpoint security tools. AppGuard customers need NOT make any policy adjustments to mitigate risks from such attacks. AppGuard already blocks […]
