What the CISSP? 20 years as a Certified Information Systems Security Professional

CISSP stands for Certified Information Systems Security Professional, a qualification that I obtained on this day in 1996. Back then, very few people had heard of CISSP or the organization that created it, the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium. This non-profit professional body is known as (ISC)2 which is pronounced “I-S-C-squared” (because the name contains two each of those three letters, which is cute but a pain for typographers and search engines). These days CISSP is an acronym you’ll hear a lot if you spend time dealing with cybersecurity, and (ISC)2 is a name you’ll encounter at many events, such as the (ISC)2 Security Congress. In a moment I will talk about what it means to be a CISSP, but first, a few words of caution.

DMA Locker 4.0: The Next Threat to Healthcare?

Lately, healthcare has been making headlines due to an onslaught of ransomware attacks from viruses like TeslaCrypt and CryptoWall. As a result of many lucrative successes in extorting ransom payments, the industry has been rightly named the number one target of cyber criminals by several research groups. And it doesn’t seem to be slowing down. Cyber criminals are looking to profit off of the traditionally soft target healthcare has presented due to its general lack of highly secure network and data center architectures.

Securing Business-to-Business Environments

Business to Business, or B2B networks are pervasive within Financial Services network environments. They are also highly vulnerable to attack.  One reason is that these networks are often woefully unprotected. Some organizations have implemented simple firewall capabilities into these B2B networks, and most have VPNs. But because performance is paramount, security is often seen as a bottleneck; so many of these networks are often only secured using simple router ACLs (RACLs) and NAT. Seriously.

Business Intelligence Solutions Provide Small Business Insights

Big data and business intelligence (BI) used to be only for enterprise companies. Now, however, thanks to the software as a service (SaaS) revolution, even small businesses can afford to track and tap into a wealth of information.

However, becoming a data-driven small business isn’t easy. Because you’re dealing with complex troves of records that have multiple sources and are therefore highly unlikely to be structured uniformly, it can be difficult to process it all and interpret it into insights your business can actually use.

Critical infrastructure: It's time to make security a priority

The security of industrial systems has been a matter of analysis and debate for years, especially after the onset of threats against them such as the Stuxnet worm in 2010, and the recognition of the vulnerability of these systems to external attacks.

Six years after Stuxnet and in the wake of other threats that followed, such as Flame or Duqu, IT security teams face numerous challenges in the quest to safeguard critical data against threats that no longer differentiate among different types of industries.

One question becomes clear: are all these businesses and industries prepared to face future challenges?

Tech support scams go with a Bing

It’s understandable that Microsoft is sensitive about the expanding and highly adaptive trade in tech support scams, since users of its services remain a primary target for this type of scam. That said, users of other platforms are far more likely to be targeted nowadays than they were a few years ago.

There have been other changes in the support scam threatscape, too. As I’ve pointed out here and elsewhere many times, the tech support scam focus has shifted somewhat from cold calling to pop-ups and SEO-exploiting ads picked up by major search engines, so that the victim gets to call the scammer instead of vice versa.
