DataEndure TECH talks

93% of cyberattacks start with email, and everyone and anyone is a target—leaving everyone and anyone only one click away from danger. Traditional email security can’t protect against the volume and sophistication of attacks. In June’s TECH Talk, we shared critical insights to help protect your business: How a BEC attack is different from a typical phishing email What tactics are used...

“Layered security” is just the starting point in today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape. A layered defense strategy extends beyond the basics. It’s about deploying multiple, specialized tools at each security layer—to provide a response tactic tuned for each type of attack. As attacks increase in speed and sophistication, we all need increased agility to proactively identify, block, and t...

The meteoric rise of ChatGPT has taken the world by surprise—and there’s no putting the genie back in the bottle. In this 30-min talk, we’ll take a beat to look at the cybersecurity implications. Like all powerful tools, ChatGPT can be used for good and for ill. While we expect a future wave of advancements that will help strengthen security, right now, cyber-adversaries are leveraging ChatGPT and...

“Secure the endpoint!” While this has become the mantra for solving the cybersecurity challenge, the endpoint is just 1 of 4 critical factors that contribute to a solid security stance. Endpoint security isn’t nearly enough. The growing threat of increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks requires a security strategy that delivers more visibility into every application and user on the network. Organi...

One of the storylines coming out of the recent World Economic Forum was the Global Cyber Outlook for 2023. Of note: 86% of business leaders believe there will be a catastrophic cyber-attack in the next 2 years and 43% feel it will have a material impact on their business. Billionaire Warren Buffett was quoted as saying cyber-attacks were a bigger threat to humanity than nuclear weapons. Scary and...

As we reflect on 2022, it could be designated as “the year of the endpoint.” With the jury still out on remote or hybrid work environments, one thing is for certain: data on the endpoint is at risk like never before. Join DataEndure’s December TECH talk as we share significant errors organizations make with security tools, and examine if endpoint security tools and firewalls are enough...

Everyone is struggling to keep up with security threats and bad actors – including the MSP community. Operations are getting more complicated, devices they are being asked to manage are more diverse than ever and growing exponentially, and many MSPs still function in a break-fix or reactive mode. With the critical and trusted role MSPs hold in their customer communities, it is imperative for them...

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and while we would argue awareness should be 365 days out of the year, it does provide an opportunity to put a spotlight on the ongoing risks and challenges posed by cyberadversaries. With our employees on the front line of this battle, it is key that organizations effectively engage and equip them. This month we discuss how to get the most out of your Cyb...

Cyberattacks continue to rise and many organizations — including those with mature cybersecurity programs — are looking to reduce their financial risk through cyber insurance. With the costs of cyberattacks nearly doubling between 2016 and 2019, U.S. insurance entities have responded by becoming more selective about who and what gets covered. Consequently, many insurance companies are expanding th...

In today’s economic climate, a managed security service approach can certainly look more financially attractive than building, buying and staffing the capability internally. But it’s not as simple as flipping a switch for most organizations. With a crowded field of many “look alikes” it can be a challenge to properly evaluate providers and make the right decision. DataEndure’s August TECH talk wil...

With our hyper-dependency on data and access, there is a very low tolerance for error or disruption, and the distributed nature of our workforce makes “edgeless” networks an attractive and lucrative target for adversaries. Listen to DataEndure’s July TECH talk as we discuss the evolving nature of the network, how it is essential to achieving infrastructure resilience, and why having visibility and...

There are 3000 different security tools (and counting) on the market today, yet the average dwell time for a bad actor continues to increase, currently 212 days on average. Simply put – even with a robust tool set, bad guys are still able to roam around for up to 6 months, undetected, in your network. What gives? Are the tools ineffective? What about the automation so many of these tools promote a...

Just when you thought you were starting to fully understand SASE and its implications, Gartner has come out with another emerging security concept: Security Service Edge (SSE). Introduced in its 2021 Roadmap for SASE Convergence report, SSE was an output from broad market feedback that SASE was simply too complicated and intensive for most enterprises to attain and maintain. The post April 2022 TE...

As if cyber-defense wasn’t difficult enough – try battling malware that constantly changes its identifiable features in order to evade detection. Polymorphic malware isn’t new; the first polymorphic virus dates back to 1989. But fast-changing polymorphic malware now makes up an overwhelmingly large percentage of the malware organizations face – updating itself with new definitions every few days,...

Phishing has always presented the largest attack surface for any security team, and it has increased dramatically since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis. Due to the increased use of personal devices and work from home, attackers are targeting the weakest link in the chain, which is often individuals and their personal systems on insecure home/remote networks. Many organizations have phishing a...

Organizations like yours need to stay vigilant with multiples layers of defense against those in disguise poking around your network looking to steal your data. Leaving all your lights off on Halloween may signal that you’re all out of candy, but it can also make you an easy target to vandals. Join us for our O...

We had a strong response to our last TECH talk, with a lot of people voicing their frustrations with Zero Trust. Among them, “ZTN doesn’t work” and “It’s too hard to deploy everywhere”. What if organizations are trying to solve this new challenge through a traditional lens? How might their opinion change if we started with a different framework to approach ZTN? Join DataEndure this month, where we...

If you’re currently working with a Managed Service Provider (MSP), you may have heard about your provider changing to a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) model. While some companies legitimately put in the work to complete the security requireme...

In the world of cybersecurity, acronyms abound. Not only that, many describe technologies and concepts that are seemingly indistinguishable from one another. Take EDR, MDR and XDR. With cyberthreats at an all-time high, vendors are seeking a “Detection and Response” story, and work in a lot of creative angles to get there.  While analysts and thought leaders might be able to work with this phraseo...
