For example, only six in ten companies conduct regular training on security topics and there is still rather little intention to increase this number.

    More information about headline of the week:

    German Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser presented her plan for the defense against cyberattacks. In order to do that Faeser proposed to strengthen the competences of the German state as well as a change of the constitution. Especially the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) is supposed to get mor competences. Right now the responsibility is lying on the states. Faeser claims that this is not contemporary to meet current threats. Especially the outdated German information technology is a threat to the Cybersecurity of critical infrastructure and Government agencies. Another reason for centralizing the competences is that many authorities mean that decisions are time consuming and are often too late when a cyberattack is launched. Also small and middle sized companies should get funding for investing in cyberesilience.

    More details about Headline of the week:

    Thanks to IT security data by Tetra Defense they found out, the industry most at risk from cyberattacks in the first quarter of 2022 was - by a significant margin – healthcare sector.

    What's particularly frightening about this is that 82 percent of security incidents were due to known vulnerabilities, either on the victim's network (57 percent) or through a remote desktop protocol (25 percent).

    Futhermore they found out that the human factor is relevant: 18 percent of security incidents can be traced to individual employees. In more than half of these cases, the employee opened an infected document, for example from a spam email.

    More details on NIS 2.0 can be found in Gregs article in Security Insider.

  • #2 Inside threats with Morgan Alexander

    In this episode Greg sits down with Morgan Alexander, Chief of Cyber Forensics of Quantum Cyber Lab, to talk about the topic of employees, customers and partners acting as insider threats in their own company.

    Brief overview about the topics in this episode:

    01:00 Introduction

    04:15 Stories about „insider threats“

    11:00 Weaknesses and motivation

    14:50 Headline of the week: “Home Working Drives 44% Surge in Insider Threats” by InfoSecurity Magazine

    24:40 Prevention of Cybercrime

    Summary of the InfoSecurity Magazine article:

    According to a survey Insider threats cost organizations an average of over $15m annually to remediate last year. The frequency of incidents per company also increased, with 67% of companies experiencing between 21 and more than 40 incidents per year, up from 60% in 2020.

    Malicious intent is also a major cause of insider threats, accounting for a quarter (26%) of incidents at an average cost of $648,000 to remediate. Once again, the work-from-home (WFH) mandate has driven this trend, allowing employees more remote access to sensitive data.

That’s why we conduct career and training paths for the new colleagues BEFORE they even enter the company.

    -94 percent state that cybersecurity is now as important as never before.
    -Same proportion thinks that their company could do more to provide further education e.g. via mentorship programs
