Combating Account Takeovers and Fraudulent Websites at Scale for SMB
In episode 61 of The Cyber5, we are joined by Josh Shaul, CEO of Allure Security.
We discuss cybersecurity and account takeovers. We focus on the lifecycle of an account takeover , how to permanently solve it, and how to show a clear return on investment to small business owners. We also talk about how to impede attackers by making their efforts more costly and difficult.
Four Key Takeaways:
1) Account Takeovers
An account takeover is a form of identity theft and fraud, where a malicious third party successfully gains access to a user's account credentials. Previously targeted at large enterprises, these attacks are now targeting SMBs.
2) Disrupting the Return on Investment Against an Attacker
By Automating defenses and rapidly removing fake websites, attackers are faced with increased cost and less success.
3) Too Much marketing Focus on APTs
A lot of cybersecurity products and technology focus on advanced persistent threats (APTs) and ignore the threats that matter. Organizations can best protect themselves by mapping technology to the threats that are actually targeting them.
4) Intelligence Must be Actionable
Making intelligence actionable is necessary for proper security regardless of an organization’s size. For many organizations, this is most easily achieved through managed services providers that provide people, process, and technology that is otherwise not attainable for small enterprises.
