Teaming Up With MSSPs In The Fight Against Ransomware
Robert Hall, Product Marketing Director at Brigantia
In 2021, ransomware hit an all-time high, striking a victim every 11 seconds, according to Cybersecurity Ventures. The fastest-growing type of cybercrime shows no signs of slowing down, and is projected to attack a business or consumer every 2 seconds by 2031. Small businesses with limited IT and security resources, in particular, are at great risk. Managed security services providers, or MSSPs, can help, powered by ConcealBrowse, available from Brigantia.

What Star Trek Can Teach Us About Cybersecurity
Back to the future with Ron Gula
It may sound like a stretch, but Ron Gula is convinced there is a lot that the ’60s TV show Star Trek can teach us about cybersecurity. The series, and its multiple movie and TV spinoffs, is loaded with intelligent computer systems and hacks — five of which Gula has outlined in one of his regular blogs — but Gula’s favorite is the scene in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan where the crew remotely access the hijacked starship Reliant and enter its combination code to lower its shields.
Is America Losing The Quantum Race With China?
A Conceal cybersecurity discussion
You may not have realized, but China has been outpacing America in the race to reach the next frontier of critical national security technology: quantum computing, according to a Newsweek opinion article by Theresa Payton, former CIO at The White House and an advisor to Conceal. In October, Chinese scientists unveiled the world’s fastest programmable quantum computer, a million times more powerful than Google’s most advanced supercomputer. Their technology can accomplish in one millisecond what would take a typical computer some 30 trillion years.
Admiral Rogers: Make It Harder For Cybercriminals
How businesses can defense themselves
Businesses and government bodies may have improved the way they collaborate to respond to cybersecurity incidents — but as cybercriminals continue to run rings around “ineffective” governments, a retired Navy admiral and former NSA head has warned that actually preventing breaches before the fact will require a different approach. “There are multiple actors that need to be involved” in stemming the rushing tide of cybercrime, former Navy Admiral Michael Rogers told Cybercrime Magazine, noting that businesses can only expect so much success from government diplomatic pressure.
