The global disruption caused by a faulty CrowdStrike software triggering a kernel panic and computer meltdowns has led government agencies, experts and vendors to call for rethinking Windows operating system resiliency, including the deep-level OS access security tools now require.
Microsoft's statement that a faulty CrowdStrike update affected less than 1% of active Windows systems doesn't tell the full story, since large organizations in critical sectors make up a disproportionate part of the user base, as the outages in healthcare, transportation and banking demonstrate.
With $150 million of Series D funding led by Kleiner Perkins, Meritech Capital and Sapphire Ventures, Huntress is set to build or buy posture and recovery capabilities for endpoint and identity protection and enhance educational initiatives to counter the accelerating pace of cyberthreats.
More and more in society, deepfake technology leverages artificial intelligence to create convincing fake audio and video clips and is evolving rapidly. These technologies not only pose significant threats to personal and organizational cybersecurity programs, but also present unique challenges and opportunities in IT...
Cyber resiliency strategies for modern organisations require moving beyond prevention and restoration, and implementing a robust Detection and Response strategy. Defenders need a much broader window to catch and stop attacks, such as ransomware, before significant damage occurs.
