Turn the tables: Advance your security with evidence-backed expert insights - CyberTalk

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

In 2023, the cyber threat landscape evolved at a record-breaking pace. Global cyber attacks increased by roughly 48%. Threats became more sophisticated and expensive to contend with than ever before.

Cyber security leaders who overlook recent developments risk being blindsided by powerful, persistent and potentially damaging cyber adversaries. The bad actors are well-financed and are finding network “footholds” in unprecedented ways.

More than two-thirds of companies report having experienced a cyber attack in the last 12 months. The alarming truth is that businesses aren’t adapting fast enough. As cyber crime accelerates, will your organization be able to keep up?

Included in the report

Newly developed ransomware techniques have intensified the malware’s impact on businesses. In 2023, Check Point Research observed a notable spike in large-scale ransomware attacks intended to disrupt multiple businesses in quick succession. Actual incidents impacted hundreds or thousands of entities.

“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail,” – Benjamin Franklin

And other evolving threats are even more pernicious than that. Threat actors have developed new tactics that covertly exploit edge devices for the purpose of executing extensive DDoS attacks, spam campaigns and network takeovers. Attackers have also increased their use of AI to scale efforts. AI is now used to analyze information, enhance phishing threats and to automate attacks.

The aforementioned represent just a fraction of the ways in which cyber attackers and attacks are becoming more sophisticated. Ensure that your organization knows which advanced security tools to implement. In the Check Point Research Cyber Security Report, get expert recommendations for strategic and innovative products that can keep pace with the latest threats.

Context as a compass

Context around contemporary threats can be just as critical as product recommendations, as context is what enables your organization to ‘see around corners’; to predict problems. Context defines agility. In short, context enables organizations to effectively anticipate, adapt to and respond to threats.

The environmental information included in the Check Point Research Cyber Security Report empowers security leaders to identify issues with greater accuracy and to present a stronger response.

Further details

In 2024, for the vast majority of organizations, confronting cyber security challenges will be a core business objective. As your organization looks ahead, ensure that it accounts for the latest cyber security trends, research, intelligence analyses and recommendations — as explained by preeminent industry experts.

Get valuable insights that can translate to stronger cyber security, improved business resilience, fewer nightmares and more sleep for your security staff. Discover why leading brands trust the Check Point Research Cyber Security Report. Download now.

Oh to have the time and energy (and equipment) to make multihour video essays about extremely niche topics

#(i need to rewatch full 9 seasons of a show (200+ episodes) as research for a video I NEED to make one day)#i live in fear that someone else will think of it by the point i get to it hence why I never specifically said anywhere I wanna make it #but its so incredibly niche it's very unlikely #i haven't even looked into if a similar video already exists because i WILL mourn it like an unborn child if someone makes it before me #yes i just finished watching the james somerton hbomberguy video why u asking #okay so i checked and there are a couple of people who all have less than 10 minute long videos about a PART of what I want to talk about #I practically want to amp up that research about 20 times and then draw seemingly ridiculous conclusions about the show #that will make sense if i explain myself

a large amount of time I've been spending on -untitled undefined scope original fiction project- since the last time I posted about it has been trying to develop the protagonist concept I came up with last summer or whatever into like, a character that would feel real and era appropriate.

it's fun research to do. naturally a lot of the details I assigned to her are things that I already think are cool, so it's been a lot of fun trying to trace her traits back through the relatively recent past, getting reminded of how much things have changed, or where the gaps in my intuition are, and then doing a flurry of reading to get a sense for exactly how someone like her and the people around her could have happened and what her life was probably like leading up to her present day. hopefully this results in some good good verisimilitude.

#I wrote a short story from her perspective over the holidays and then didn't know how to continue it #and then I got distracted by real life stuff for a few months #I forget if I posted about that #and then I've been picking through archive dot org for the last few weeks looking at this stuff #the last big rabbit hole was trying to get a better feel for era appropriate ts/tv subculture #the current one I'm looking at is how she would've gotten into language learning and how that would've worked #nettle has been prodding me about the setting thing lately so I've been thinking about that more too #probably the biggest hurdle by far is figuring out how I want to play that #and how I want the thing to be divided up #since the original coc scenario I'm developing this out of is centered on a flight from LA to honolulu #and the airport dungeon was definitely meant to be a hook for a larger campaign #some amount of it is going to cover protag lady's failed life in LA and some of it is going to be worse things happening in hawaii #but it's like. how much do I want to balance it one way or the other #and realistically how much does the aesthetics of 20th century air travel add to the story #besides me personally thinking it's compelling ofc #a lot of what I find compelling about hawaii is that it's an east/west cultural crossroads and realistically that's also true of socal #and I can wax poetic about socal as much as I want without worrying all that much about mishandling something #and there's also a lot of socal specific history along similar parallels to pull from that I'm more familiar with #I guess it comes down to whether curiosity re: 'doing it right' is enough of a motivator to do the increased amount of research #which I guess it has so far with the above character details. so hopefully that will continue #but it also feels like using machine translation a bit yknow. it's hard to know how effectively I'll be able to sanity check #although depending on where this goes I might be able to get other people involved to sensitivity read down the line #with most of the creative things I do I just have a tendency to always rely really heavily on figuring things out myself #I also want protag lady to have a Cool Car and idk how to get that from point a to point b narratively #this is like an entire second or third post's worth of tags but I don't feel like unfucking this so whatever. suffer. I guess.

Went skimming thru late trimax For Reasons, got caught up reading the Legato fight, realized things about the fight that I never had before & went WOW, I kind of want to write an analysis post right now!

Felt the same kind of insanity grip me, however momentarily, that fueled all my analysis posts however many months ago. Too tired to actually word things coherently right now, but...

I May or may not have a full(ish?) analysis of the Legato & Vash fight a la style of This post analyzing the Trigun: Multiple Bullets fight that got unexpectedly kind of popular. People seemed to really appreciate that one, & I even had some ppl saying it could be cool if I did that for others?

So. Legato fight. Maybe. Feel free to remind me later if u see no mention of it again for over a week lol

#speculation nation #ive been wanting to go back into reading the manga again #ive only slowly (VERY slowly) been puttering along with where i am in my fic #for research purposes with the fic.#i do want to go back through the manga bc i STILL havent done a full reread of it #ive just reread so many different parts of it for assorted research that im probably getting to some 10 or so reads total lmao #i wanna reread it in full tho front to back to sort out any stray details and remember any timeline things i might have slightly skewed.#the problem with reading the manga though. is that every fucking time i look at it. i am consumed by a drive to research EVERY little thing #so me reading turns into 'hm thats interesting. that reminds me of this thing that i know happens in volume 8. let me just check that now--'#and i end up so dreadfully distracted every damn time. bc i end up with all my wires crossed and my attention pointing a million ways #it's exhausting. and so i havent been reading the manga outside of random research dives.#im very good at that. i know every volume of the manga and can find Anything within 1 or 2 mins (at the Most)#which is also kind of the problem lol. fingers in too many pies. so many things to think about.#if i get back into Actually rereading the manga tho you can bet ur ASS ill find more things to make posts about #every time i open up the manga i find new things that i could analyze.#i just havent. bc i dont have time. but. ykno what. maybe i Could get back into it...#remind me later. this is one of my favorite fucking fights with my favorite Fucking panels #and i realized smth about the shit Vash is doing that was making me lose my MINDDDD #later tho. ive been sleep deprived today. and it is time for me to rest.#& yea yea ITNL is still the main focus. but idk i have such a mind for details and i remember So many things about the manga #i wanna show that off to people again. and thus. Analyses!!! :D #later. goodnight for now

i was wondering if you would ever be interested in making guilty gear fanslations because you seem to know japanese. no pressure im just curious or perhaps nosy

Nahhhhhhh i dont claim to know more than a relatively little amount i just get curious about stuff so i end up Researching often lol. Like machine translating stuff to get a general gist then checking out certain words and phrases in dictionaries and stuff. Jisho and wiktionary i love you. Also being friends with actual translators helps i can bug them with questions if i get desperate . Heart

#emphasis on checking things! i dont trust google translate for shit!#i know deepl is better but i need the ocr and romanized text.#and with all my researching i guess i am learning like i definitely know more than i did a year ago.#but its slow and a very small scope lol.#even then like 80% of what ive got memorized is just the phonetic side. im not built for memorizing kanji. i think.#idk. i can recognize a few at this point. so maybe if i did get into. learning for real. maybe. 1 day.#asks

what was the usage for 'death note' back in the 1800s i need to know

#death note #i will be doing more research on this when i'm not trying to get stuff done i just keep getting distracted #well at first i had the thought to check the correlation between the use of the word 'narcissism' and variations to check if it was used #more significantly and negatively post-addition-to-the-dsm or if the dsm (and fucking freud) chose a bad word that stigmatized it further #i wanted to know if the word had a negative connotation before or if the disorder made the word have the connotation it has now #same w psychopath/psychopathy. i was curious #anyways that had nothing to do w my work and i got even more off track bc of death note #i simply must find the reason 'death note' was used back then i'm v curious but alas i am about to fall behind on schoolwork #and like. Ngram measures books/lit so this is in writing somewhere with the exact phrase a significant amount #side note: i have case-insensitive turned off because it combines them and i want to be able to separate Death Note the series from whateve #death note means in past cases #and i have filtered out any cases i see as irrelevant (i.e. DEATH note Death note death NOTE <-real things that showed up)#also i find the resurgence of the phrase 'Death Note' in distinct periods to be interesting #DEATH NOTE was only used really during the manga/show's initial release #anyway i will be back to this at some point when i can do more research (this weekend?)#also i will answer the ship asks later bc i need to put some Thought into my answers. feel free to send as many as u want btw

funny how authors think they're being so slick using AI to help them write their papers and then they translate a foreign ministry five different ways on a single page 🤪🤪🤪

#like.... by all means use AI as a starting point for your research (much like wikipedia) or databases readily available #but you gotta double-check that shit!!!!!!!!!!#and you HAVE to be consistent!!!!!#i know there's a whole editing and references team (of which i'm part of) to help you shape your draft into something that can be published #but at least have the decency of proofreading your damn work before hitting submit... especially if it's a collaboration #some of these sentences are uhh.... interesting for sure #working woes

i think something about ppl reblogging ai art without noticing it also comes down to how we should already be making sure its not reposted or stolen art. i know thats how a LOT of aesthetic blogs are run, but with photos too, i get not glancing twice if it seems to be official/stock/brand imagery or some old timey painting, but you should always in the first place be making sure any art you rb is uploaded by the creator, or if not, sourced properly

#i know its troublesome to bg check and find the source of everything we wanna rb but genuinly we need to be responsible in what we post #quickly pulling out the OP's blog on here and checking the bio or pinned rlly doesnt take super long!! you should make it a habit #not to mentiont his is helpful incase of checking any boundaries in a DNI #as for recognizing ai art; it has gotten a lot better and can be harder to notice in photograph type ones but rather than inspecting the #image itself; i think researching the source is easier if the other is too difficult #another thing u can do is check the reblogs and or replies section! sometimes ppl point it out already

A roundup of 2024 predictions, CISO insights - CyberTalk

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/a-roundup-of-2024-predictions-ciso-insights-cybertalk/

A roundup of 2024 predictions, CISO insights - CyberTalk

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The cyber security landscape is transforming at an exciting, yet sometimes unnerving pace. As the landscape becomes both broad and nuanced, modern CISOs must now sift through a staggering amount of information.

Separate the signal from the noise. Prepare for the year ahead with predictions from five of Check Point’s global CISOs.

An expert-informed preview of trends and threats enables you to proactively implement risk mitigation measures, helping you stay one step ahead of cyber criminals.

Get valuable insights. Prepare for the possibilities. Discover focused analyses that can assist you with planning, prioritizing and better protecting your organization than ever before.

Foundational discussion points

In 2024, the themes that will take the spotlight include board and C-level cyber security management, cyber security controls, ransomware, artificial intelligence and breach litigation. In the sections below, each one of our experts delves into a different theme:

Vivek Gullapalli: Global CISO, APAC, Check Point

The board will require higher levels of confidence in cyber security and business continuity

Boards and CEOs will demand confidence in cyber security. They’ll expect business continuity throughout and in the wake of a cyber attack.

Boards and C-level management will also want to ensure that cyber security investments deliver. Next year, as a cyber security leader, dig into the ROI on your initiatives and tools. Ensure that stakeholders truly see the value of your SOC and your work.

Beyond that, the digital world is highly interconnected; with the seemingly singular exception of cyber security, which remains locked in isolation. Bridging this gap will be critical to business success.

Marco Eggerling: Global CISO, EMEA, Check Point

Organizations will give cyber security controls a much greater focus Previously, organizations have taken a piece-meal approach to implementing cyber security controls, which is inefficient. The average SMB runs 20 different point solutions, while the average mid-sized enterprise manages 60 point solutions, and the average multi-national relies on 100 point solutions or more.

However, if organizations reduce the number of security controls, as through consolidation, they’re liable to see increased levels of cyber resilience. In 2024, it’s likely that organizations will pay more attention to security controls, as current systems are often unsustainable.

Ultimately, this will reduce complexity and enhance abilities to withstand any type of cyber threat.

Jonathan Fischbein: Global CISO, EMEA, Check Point

Ransomware will continue and become highly evasive

Ransomware attacks will increase. They will also continue to impact organizations of all sizes, extorting millions of dollars from victims. Most notably, the threats will become increasingly evasive.

While enterprises are adopting a lot of security tools, they’re often not enough, as oftentimes, they’re not interoperable.

Many security professionals erroneously believe that a ransomware attack won’t happen to their organization, and so they don’t take adequate action. What organizations really need are better prevention and detection tools.

It’s very important that organizations take a holistic approach to ransomware and develop a strategy for mitigation. And it’s not enough to just have solutions that ward off ransomware…

Pete Nicoletti: Global CISO, Americas, Check Point

AI-based tools will be used by cyber criminals to steal financial resources

Something that Check Point Research has just begun to point out is that criminals are using unregistered and unguarded AI tools and engines for nefarious purposes. Those tools aren’t subject to laws and regulations.

Cyber security professionals are liable to see what could be termed ‘ghost guns’ or ‘unserialized weapons’ used in the AI fight. Check Point’s ThreatCloud and other power-packed products help mitigate this issue, but in the future, more will need to be done to address it.

Deryck Mitchelson: Global CISO, EMEA, Check Point

Organizations will continue to see a surge in cyber attacks and data breaches, resulting in an explosion of class action lawsuits and litigation that could negatively affect CISOs

Litigation is becoming increasingly common. There’s no doubt about it. Many major enterprises have experienced breaches and paid out significant sums of money on the back of them.

The issue won’t solely affect larger organizations. Smaller organizations will be affected as well and will likely pay out millions in order to satisfy shareholders and individuals who have been breached.

This increase in data breach class actions is really concerning. There’s been a two-fold increase in them from 2022 to 2023.

Further, recent survey results show that 62% of CISOs are concerned about their personal liability when it comes to breaches. What’s driving this? The first item is the Uber case, where the Uber CISO was found guilty…

…

These predictions are intended to support organizations in enhancing their planning, prioritization and security protection in 2024. For the full suite of predictions, please click here.

Wishing everyone a safe and secure new year.

I feel like Olli and Aleksi have been very ”private” recently (and that’s fine) but you know I feel like they post a selfie together at least once in every tour but now we got nothing not even a single story from them. But then they instantly like each other’s stuff and seem to hang out

Yesss, and correct me if I'm wrong but even the one (!!) picture of just the two of them from this tour was posted by Niko 😐 No doubt there are many more, but for one reason or another they decided not to share any and that's a damn shame 😔 So yeah, just like you're implying, I don't think it's a case of them avoiding each other or anything like that, rather than them just being sorta low-key about it this time around. There's no denying they're special to each other (as can be seen via thorough analysis on Aleksi's twitch streams hehe) and I'm happy they have each other in their lives, regardless of how much of it they want to share to the public 💕

#next time someone in the band posts on IG remind me to check if olli is also quick to like those or if it's just allu 💕#blorbo hyperanalysis feels like empirical research at this point 😅#answered asks #anon asks #ollixallu

My principal doesn’t believe that the point of an English class is to introduce the children to great literature and model loving it, analyzing it, and engaging it for them and with them. But I do.

#he thinks the point is like. to teach them to write research papers #which. a) you can’t really DO #b) is stupid #anyway I do what I can to check the boxes because I have an anxious and precise conscience #but also like. that’s not why we’re here #they will learn ONE thing from my class if they learn anything #and that is how to love literature #and it’s more important??? than stuff they can literally learn online???? and that again?? like kind of can’t even be TAUGHT #anyway there is an element of complaining and laziness in my standing on my principles (ha) on this subject #I acknowledge that #and yet all my instincts tell me I’m right so.#anyway balance blah blah blah #I won’t hurt anybody by becoming a more precise and thorough teacher of MLA. in-text citation. finding good sources. structuring an a essay #but like. at the end of the day: AT THE END. OF THE DAY.#it’s not what matters

whoever said something along the lines of "outspoken conservative women are the most masculine of all" was so right

#conservative women forget that speaking up writing debating activism research and study are all feminist #ive been checking in on conservative or right-wing or religious women (often all at once)#and they're hated by their own #even women speaking about right-wing values will face backlash from the men in that group because she's a woman speaking in the first place #case in point: lauren southern bemoaning how about 90% of the women she worked with and who shared the same values are now voting blue #or have checked out of politics entirely (also a very interesting point)#her recent comments might have something to do with that she's a (broke?) single mom now (women she used to bash rather severely)#strange lauren how though your situation changed the values and opinions of your audience and ilk didn't #women from all political factions realising men will en masse never side with women is like a harsh wake up call

terfs when a study shows literally anything positive about trans people/transitioning: 'hm i think this requires some fact-checking. Were those researchers REALLY unbiased? Because if they were biased this doesn't count and if they weren't knowingly biased they probably were unconsciously biased, woke media affects so much these days. Have there been any other studies on this? Because if there haven't been this could be an outlier and if there have been and they all agree that's a bit odd, why aren't there any outliers, and if there have been and any disagree we really won't know the truth until we very thoroughly analyze them all, will we? Were there enough subjects for a good sample size? Did every single subject involved stay involved through the whole study because if they didn't we should be sure nothing shady was going on resulting in people dropping out. Are we 110% sure all the subjects were fully honest and at no point were embarrassed or afraid to admit they didn't love transitioning to the people in charge of their transition? Are we 110% sure none of the subjects were manipulated into thinking they were happy with their transition? In fact we should double-check what they think with their parents, because if the subjects and their parents disagree it's probably because they've been manipulated but their cis parents have not and are very unbiased. How many autistic subjects were there because if there weren't enough then this doesn't really study the overlap between autistic and trans and if there were too many then we just don't know enough about what causes that overlap to be sure this study really explains being trans and isn't just about being autistic. How many AFAB subjects were there because if there weren't enough this is just another example of prioritizing AMAB people and ignoring the different struggles of girls and women and if there were too many how do we know sexism didn't affect the results. Was the study double-blinded? We all know double-blinded is the most reliable so if this one wasn't that's a point against it even if the thesis literally physically could not be double-blinded. Look i'm not being transphobic, i want what's best for trans people! Really! But as a person who is not trans and therefore objective in a way they cannot possibly be, i just think we should only take into account Good Science here. You want to be following science and not being manipulated or experimented upon by something unscientific, right?'

terfs when they see a study of 45 subjects so old it predates modern criteria for gender dysphoria and basically uses 'idk her parents think she's too butch', run by a guy who practiced conversion therapy, 'confirmed' by a guy who treated the significant portion of subjects who didn't follow up as all desisting, definitely in the category of 'physically cannot double-blind this', completely contradicted by multiple other studies done on actual transgender subjects, but can be kinda cited as evidence against transitioning if you ignore everything else about it: 'oOOH SEE THIS IS WHAT WE'RE TALKIN BOUT. SCIENCE. Just good ol' unbiased thorough analysis. I see absolutely no reason to dig any deeper on this and if you think it's wrong you're the one being unscientific. It's really a shame you've been so thoroughly brainwashed by the trans agenda and can't even accept science when you see it. Maybe now that someone has finally uncovered this long-lost study from 1985, we can make some actual progress on the whole trans problem.'

#science #transphobia #cass review #less 'cass review' generally more 'zucker specifically' because this same problem exists outside cass #have lost count of the number of times i've seen 'well THAT study may have said most trans kids persist but it MUST be wrong'#'there's another study says the exact opposite. that one's right. obviously.'#but cass is why i'm annoyed by it now #normally i don't have a problem with critical observations and questions. yeah check your science! that's good!#there have been some bullshit studies and some bullshit interpretations of good studies! scientific literacy is important!#and normally also am willing to pretend the people pulling reaction 1 on some studies and reaction 2 on others are. not the same group.#but now there's a ton of cass supporters tryna say 'oh the cass review didn't reject or downplay anything for being pro-trans!'#'some studies just weren't given much weight for being poor evidence! not our fault those were all studies with results trans people like!'#…….………….aight explain why zucker's findings are used for the 'percentage of trans kids who don't stay trans' stat instead of anyone else's.#would've been more scientifically accurate to say 'yeah we just don't know.'#'studies have been done but none of them fit our crack criteria sooooo *shrug*'#like COME ON at least PRETEND you're genuinely checking scientific correctness and not looking for excuses to weed out undesirable results #am also mad about zucker in particular because his is possibly the most famous bullshit study #quite bluntly if you're doing trans research and think 'yeah this one seems reasonable' you. are maybe not well-informed enough for the job #there's just no way you genuinely look at the research with an eye toward accurate science regardless of personal bias #and walk away thinking 'hm that zucker fellow seems reasonable. competent scientists will respect that citation.'#that's one or two steps above doing a review of vaccine science and seriously citing wakefield's mmr-causes-autism study #it doesn't matter what the rest of your review says people are gonna have OPINIONS on that bit #and outside anti-vaxxers most of those opinions will be 'are you actually the most qualified for this because ummmm.'#people who agree with everything else will still think someone more competent could've done a much better job #people who disagree with everything else will point to that as proof you don't know shit and why should we listen to you #anyway i'd love a hugeass trans science review with actual fucking standards hmu if you know of one cause this ain't it #……does tumblr still put a limit on how many tags you can include guess me and my tag essay are about to find out.
