  • The average cyber attack goes undetected for 194 days. Modern attackers don't plant flags when they hack you. Instead, they slip in through normal business operations, use standard system tools, and patiently wait for the right moment. Traditional security tools, built to spot obvious threats, often miss these subtle attacks completely. How do you know if your security strategy is keeping up? The answer isn't in how many attacks you block – it's in understanding what might be slipping through. In our latest article we show you five clear warning signs that your security approach needs an update. Each sign comes from real-world examples where standard security tools failed but could have succeeded with a different approach. Read the full article on the CYDEF blog: https://lnkd.in/eTTAswWZ

  • AI can analyze millions of events per second. Humans can spot things that don't feel right. Your security needs both. Despite advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, attackers continue to evade detection. This article explores how threat detection has evolved and why the future depends on combining the best capabilities of both machines and humans. We look at how different solutions work, their strengths and limitations, and why the emerging field of Behavioral Threat Detection and Response (BTDR) offers a compelling path forward for enterprises seeking better security outcomes.

  • January 2025: When compliance becomes your competitive advantage. The cybersecurity landscape changes dramatically in early 2025. Defense contractors face CMMC 2.0 requirements in new contracts, while financial institutions must demonstrate enhanced security under the FTC Safeguards Rule. Organizations that prepare now will gain an edge in winning contracts and maintaining customer trust. We've just published a guide that explains what these regulations require, how they interact, and why behavioral threat detection has become essential for compliance. It covers practical steps for building a sustainable program that satisfies both requirements while strengthening your security posture. Read the guide on the CYDEF blog: https://lnkd.in/evwR6rr5

  • 🧩 Does your security stack make you more secure - or just more complex? For most enterprises, the answer isn't clear. Security teams keep adding new tools to address emerging threats, yet find themselves struggling to manage an increasingly complicated array of systems. Each tool promises better protection, but the combined weight of multiple solutions often leaves teams less effective than before. Our latest article tackles the growing problem of security tool overload and shows how companies can enhance protection without adding complexity. You'll learn about the real costs of tool sprawl, why traditional approaches often backfire, and how new behavior-based methods offer a smarter path forward.
