Women in Technology Leadership Latest IT news In mid-March of last year, the World Health Organization officially declared the world was facing a pandemic, and countries rushed to enact measures to stem the spread. A popular measure to combat the pandemic was switching companies to remote work. However, with little time to make the transition, many companies had no time to enact proper security measures, leaving them vulnerable to a number of new security risks. One of the most common were attacks against the protocols used by employees to access corporate resources remotely. RDP is perhaps the most popular remote desktop protocol and is used to access Windows or servers. After the switch to remote work, bruteforce attacks against this protocol skyrocketed. In a bruteforce attack, attackers test different usernames and passwords until the correct combination is found-and they gain access to the corporate resources. Over the past year, while the total number of bruteforce attacks has ebbed and flowed, they have continued to increase when compared to pre-pandemic levels. Visit on varindia official site https://www.varindia.com/ to know more. According to Kaspersky’s telemetry, when the world went into lockdown in March 2020, the total number of bruteforce attacks against RDP jumped from 93.1 million worldwide in February 2020 to 277.4 million 2020 in March—a 197 percent increase. The numbers in India went from 1.3 million (1363953) in Feb 2020 to 3.3 million (3301848) in March 2020. From April 2020 onward, monthly attacks never dipped below 300 million, and they reached a new high of 409 million attacks worldwide in November 2020. The highest number of attacks 4.5 million (4586533) in India was recorded in July 2020. In February 2021—nearly one year from the start of the pandemic—there were 377.5 million brute-force attacks—a far cry from the 93.1 million witnessed at the beginning of 2020. India alone witnessed 9.04 million (9048791) attacks in Feb 2021.
The total number of attacks in India from Feb-Dec 2020 was around 37 million (37664893), while the total number of attacks recorded in India during Jan & Feb 2021 are around 15 million (15804209).

Accenture Technology Vision 2019 Ireland Findings: The Post Digital Era is Hereaccenture
Accenture's Technology Vision 2019 surveyed over 100 Irish business and IT executives to identify five distinct trends in digital transformation that are impacting business leaders today.
This document discusses achieving cyber resilience in industrial equipment. It finds that while connectivity provides opportunities, it also increases cyberattack risks. Many industrial equipment companies are not confident in their cybersecurity capabilities despite threats doubling. Three areas can improve resilience: protect core assets with basics like response teams and segmentation; leverage hyper-connectivity by making defenses robust and using data; and evolve the CISO role to be business-minded and communicate across levels. Focusing on fundamentals, developing a security-by-design culture, and transforming the CISO role can help manufacturers achieve cyber resilience.
Building Bridges: Security Metrics to Narrow the Chasm Between Perception and...InnoTech
The document discusses the gap between perception and reality in security. It notes that many factors contribute to widening this gap, including inconsistent standards implementation, ambiguous regulations, and subjective risk assessments. The author proposes using standardized security metrics to narrow this gap and build bridges between perception and reality. Specifically, metrics should measure what security controls are implemented, how effective they are, and the residual risks remaining. This can help organizations determine if they are truly secure and provide a framework for a sustainable security program.

The survey found that:
- 82% of organizations experienced at least one online attack or threat in the last year, with the average company experiencing three types.
- While ransomware was less common, it had the highest severity of impact. Browser vulnerabilities were identified as the biggest challenge to endpoint security.
- The most common impacts of attacks were increased help desk workload and reduced employee productivity. Most organizations now use multiple endpoint security solutions due to the ineffectiveness of traditional antivirus against advanced malware.
The document discusses cybersecurity trends in South Africa. Some key points:
1. South Africa has a growing cybersecurity market due to increasing digital transformation and cyber attacks targeting sectors like financial services and healthcare.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
