In response to increasing cyberattacks, the European Union has set unified #cybersecurity standards. A broadened directive from the first Network and Information Security Directive, NIS 2 seeks to prevent IT security incidents across businesses. Our teams can step in and help you explore strategies for future-proofing your cybersecurity beyond basic #compliance with tactics that include anticipating future regulations and fostering long-term resilience against evolving threats.

Advanced threat detection is essential to match evolving cyber threats. Last week at Virus Bulletin, Sophos' Principal Data Scientist, Younghoo Lee, spoke about the power of multimodal #AI in advancing cyber defense. This new tool accurately identifies phishing emails and detects NSFW websites. By using multimodal AI that looks at all aspects of content using LLMs to analyze email headers, content, logos and images, it is possible to recognize new and previously unseen phishing emails and other malicious or unwanted content even without specific training data. The groundbreaking technology will play a key role in our future of #ThreatDetection. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3A2XxzN

Our CEO Joe Levy had a chance to sit down with Craig Galbraith of Channel Futures to discuss the importance of collaboration between major cybersecurity vendors. He mentions that cybersecurity organizations need to set safe deployment practices and secure-by-design principles to reduce the likelihood of a global outage. Improved communication and incident response strategies between companies only boosts the integrity and availability of security solutions.

Just having an incident response plan isn’t enough. As attackers look for new ways to compromise victims, your team must be ready to put the plan into action. The strongest way to prepare is simulating cyberattacks with #ransomware tabletop exercises, says our SVP of Products & Services Rob Harrison. These exercises build up your defense strategy, allowing your team to develop confidence and identifying potential gaps in a threat-free scenario.

In the hands of malicious actors, #GenerativeAI can have serious repercussions. Large language and large image models allow people to create advanced content at scale with relatively little effort. They can be used to scam victims and deceive viewers with deepfakes and misinformation. With that, AI content classifiers continue to improve, and these dangers only serve as a reminder about the importance of protecting your personal data.

Cybersecurity is a necessity for all businesses — but not every company can afford to invest in it. The stark differences between those above and below the cybersecurity poverty line is a growing cause for concern. Join Cyber Threat Alliance as they host an informational webinar on Oct. 8th at 2 p.m. CST with Wendy Nather, J. Michael Daniel and our very own Joe Levy. They will discuss the issues surrounding the poverty line, why it matters, and what our industry should do to help. Register here:
🎤 Join us Oct 8th 3 pm ET for webinar: Cybersecurity Divide: Addressing the Cyber Poverty Line. In today’s interconnected ecosystem, risk is shared among the haves & the have-nots alike. Addressing this helps us all! With Wendy Nather, Joe Levy, CEO, Sophos and J. Michael Daniel President & CEO, Cyber Threat Alliance https://lnkd.in/gWTEbF4D Abstract: When Wendy Nather coined the term “cybersecurity poverty line,” the cybersecurity industry was not paying attention to how unevenly cybersecurity capabilities were distributed. This term provided a way to conceptualize the stark divide between the companies who could afford to invest in good cybersecurity and those who could not, and it sparked a discussion about how to help those entities operating below that poverty line. In the years since, however, the number of entities below the cybersecurity poverty line has only increased. Yet, we know that in an interconnected ecosystem, risk is shared among the haves and have-nots alike. Join us as Wendy Nather, Joe Levy (CEO, Sophos) and J. Michael Daniel (CEO, Cyber Threat Alliance) talk about the poverty line, why it matters, and what the #cybersecurity industry should do about it. #CISO #cyberpovertyline #cyberdivide #CSO #CPO #CTO #infosecurity
