Security Is Only as Strong as its Weakest Link
/by RedSealMONEY AND MARKETS | February 23, 2017
In the current interconnected world of Big Data and the Internet of Things, there are a lot of weak links.
At the RSA Conference this month in San Francisco, Splunk (SPLK), a maker of analytics software, announced five new members to its Adaptive Response Initiative (ARI). The company is pushing all leading cybersecurity vendors to build out solutions around its Enterprise Security framework. And for good reason. Network predation has become the single biggest threat to businesses today.
The Internet of Things That Can Attack You
/by Dr. Mike Lloyd, CTO, RedSealFORBES | February 17, 2017
By Dr. Mike Lloyd, RedSeal CTO
The Internet of Things crashed into the old Internet on Oct 21st, and it wasn’t pretty. A specialized but fairly simple bit of malware known as Mirai was used to cause huge numbers of simple Internet-connected devices (cameras, home routers, baby monitors, etc.) to flood the infrastructure of a service provider called Dyn. This caused widespread collateral damage across the traditional world of social media and entertainment websites.

Why 2017 Will Be the Worst Year Ever for Security
/by RedSealINFO WORLD and IT WORLD | February 2, 2017
Sony. Anthem. The Office of Personnel Management. Target. Yahoo. The past two years have seen one mega-breach after another—and 2017 promises to be the most catastrophic year yet.
Security experts have long warned that most organizations don’t even know they’ve been breached. Attackers rely on stealth to learn about the network, find valuable information and systems, and steal what they want. Only recently have organizations improved their detection efforts and started investing the time, capital, and people needed to uncover vulnerabilities. When they do, the results are often alarming.
“I think we are going to find more, not less, breaches in 2017,” says Ray Rothrock, CEO of RedSeal, a security analytics firm.

Trump Administration Should Read and Heed Obama Cyber Report
/by Ray Rothrock, Executive Chairman, RedSealSIGNAL | January 31, 2017
As the nation deals with intelligence reports of Russian hacks of the U.S. presidential election, some of us in industry are pondering how President Donald Trump will tackle cybersecurity issues.
He already has a good road map. In December, the Commission on Enhancing National Cybersecurity issued its “Report on Securing and Growing the Digital Economy.” Kudos are in order. It is high time the executive branch dug deeply into cybersecurity issues.
20 Ways to Attract Good Luck
/by RedSealInc. | January 30, 2017
If you’ve ever known someone who seems to consistently experience good luck, know this: luck is something you can attract toward yourself. In fact, research has found a correlation between good luck and the right attitudes and choices in life. Check out these quotes from a pile of executives who share their views on how anyone can be luckier….
#14. Be prepared.
“Preparation is a necessary prerequisite to good luck. Good luck occurs when an opportunity presents itself and you are prepared with knowledge, experience, and risk-taking ability. You need knowledge to recognize opportunities among the noise, you need experience to identify the patterns these opportunities often form, and you need the courage to take a chance. What people often say is good luck is simply a good choice based on evidence and risk.”
–Ray Rothrock, chairman and CEO of cybersecurity resiliency company RedSeal.
Cyber-criminals Can Rat on Rippers Using New Reputation Service
/by RedSealSC MEDIA UK | January 27, 2017
Anyone who has ever spent any time trawling the Dark Web will appreciate what a den of inequity it is. Cyber-criminals use forums as marketplaces to trade in everything from stolen credit cards to exploit kits that help steal those credit cards in the first place.
The trouble is, there doesn’t tend to be much loyalty amongst thieves. “Fraud between cyber-criminals has always been an issue that limited the profitability of their malicious campaigns” the Digital Shadows report states.
Those who commit fraud are often known as rippers, and every transaction within these dark markets now includes a “ripper tax” that decreases the profit for “legit criminals”.
