The term ‘evolution’ implies the gradual growth of something from simple to complex, and it perfectly sums up Arctic Wolf’s 2024 Cyber Threat Predictions. The predictions presented are based on current cybersecurity trends and insights gathered from our data, and trace the development of several trends based on their earlier, simpler iterations and anticipate which ones are poised to take significant steps forward in the year...

Are you familiar with Federal Government programs for protecting controlled unclassified information? There is an increasing emphasis on enforcing the protection of sensitive data by government contractors through cybersecurity compliance programs that require implementation of the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP).Companies doing business directly or indirectly with the Department of Defense (DoD) must be aware of th...

Cybersecurity education and workforce development is a significant issue given large current national capability and skills gaps. In this webinar, we bring together key partners and major stakeholders from the public sector, private sector, and academia to discuss pathways of collaboration and partnerships moving forward to solving this important problem. Panel members will discuss their experience and “best practices” to reduce th...

Insider Risk Programs have continued to evolve naturally over the past 20 years. They have grown exponentially beyond the traditional lens of trying to identify spies through cyber-focused data exfiltration events. Today, Insider Risk Programs have expanded to include internal HR, legal, and compliance stakeholders within organizations and have expanded security beyond strictly physical and cyber domains to now include analysts, investigators,...

One Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) program that has been widely adopted throughout the federal government also is one of its longest-established – the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) program. Introduced in 2012, the program provides a dynamic approach to strengthening the cybersecurity of government networks and systems. The program has evolved over the past decade to add new capabilities, including c...

The persistence of nation-state actors has introduced a threat to America’s cybersecurity landscape that has never been seen before. Ample countermeasures have been prescribed through various White House, DoD, and CISA guidance that places responsibility on government and private industry to follow these new guidelines for the development of secure software. As we turn the corner toward the close of the federal fiscal year and begin cybe...

When the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released its Zero Trust Maturity Model Version 2.0 in April, it identified access management as a core function within the Identity Pillar. Identity is the very first of five such pillars, and brings the need for privileged access management into clear focus. Identity is defined by CISA as “an attribute or set of attributes that uniquely describes an agency user or entity,...

Federal agencies across government have started the shift in mindset from just patching and remediation to truly transformative cybersecurity modernization. There is no better example than the move to developing zero trust architecture governmentwide. While every agency is in a different stage of its ZT implementation journey, there are key guideposts and best practices that every federal IT and security team should be following to optimize th...

OASIS+ is here! It will provide the first highly visible test of the contracting community’s response to the call for more rigorous cybersecurity. Read the requirements of OASIS+, and you’ll see that your company needs pre-award C-SCRM – proof of your cybersecurity compliance. These requirements are the same ones that are currently necessary for all government contracts and are equivalent to CMMC Level 1. What does that mean...

In today’s interconnected and rapidly evolving digital landscape, ensuring secure access to sensitive resources is of paramount importance. There are various methods of securing data and Federal agencies have explored a majority of them. Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) and Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) have emerged as two prominent frameworks that enable organizations to address the challenges associated with a...
