Pretexting ist eine Form des Social Engineerings, mit der Opfer manipuliert werden, damit sie vertrauliche Informationen preisgeben. Hacker recherchieren ihre Opfer oft schon vor dem ersten Gespräch. Dies gibt dem Hacker ein Gefühl für das persönliche und berufliche Leben des Opfers und hilft ihm, den richtigen Vorwand zu finden, unter dem er sich dem Opfer nähern kann.

Groups like SANS, MITRE, Gartner, Frost & Sullivan, Forrester and IDC all discuss the central role that threat intelligence plays in a modern SOC. Understanding who is attacking you and how they are going about it, is a critical capability. But the focus is often on external sources, supported by the idea that the most valuable threat intelligence comes from outside your organization.

For years the network perimeter has been the foundation for controlling access to digital resources: kill the network, and the user no longer has access. Today’s cloud-first world has changed that, shifting the security perimeter to users and devices—and as companies continue to adopt best of breed solutions that enable their workforce, they need identity providers that can effectively protect their systems.

Cybersicherheit ist eine wesentliche Grundlage für die erfolgreiche Digitalisierung in Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft und Staat. Die Sicherheit von Regierungen, Unternehmen, Hochschulen und Bürgern zu sichern ist eine gemeinschaftliche Aufgabe für alle Akteure. In Zeiten der Corona Pandemie gilt dies mehr denn je. COVID-19 hat nicht nur einen enormen Einfluss auf die Gesundheitssysteme, die Gesellschaft und die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung. Auch die Cyber-Bedrohungslandschaft hat sich drastisch verändert.

Network segmentation—splitting up a network into smaller subnetworks—is a common practice, especially in large organizations. The benefits in segmenting networks include heightened network security, including better privilege management across different departments, isolating a successful attack (or other types of network failures) to a local network, and reduced attack surface, as well as better network performance through reduced congestion (fewer hosts in each subnetwork). Regulatory compliance can be a motivation as well. Additionally, previous mergers and acquisitions often necessitate that networks remain separate.
