Digital transformation will always be a delicate balance of improved processes and increased risk. SMBs are at particular risk for data breaches and compromised information during their digital transformation if they fail to increase their security in tandem.

This whitepaper will discuss the current risks in digital transformation that make SMBs particularly vulnerable to attack, as well as the three essential steps of managed security services to mitigate them. The appropriate level of proactive security and monitoring will keep customers from overspending on security, or the steep cost of a data breach. In particular, this paper will cover:

  • Why a digital transformation makes SMBs an attractive target to bad players

  • Critical vulnerabilities of the various aspects of expanded technology

  • How to protect your customer’s data, as well as your devices and people

2020 Microsoft ATP Report

In the most thorough analysis of its kind, Avanan security analysts classified over 500,000 malicious emails, sent to real end-user mailboxes protected by Microsoft's Advanced Threat Protection (ATP). This research identified the types of attacks that were blocked by ATP or EOP, and the types of attacks that were missed by both.

Overall results:

When looking over all malicious emails, the analysis concluded that;

  • EOP catches widespread, previously-known methods: about 41% of all attacks.

  • ATP catches many zero-day attacks that bypass EOP: 48% of malicious emails.

  • 11% of malicious emails reach the inbox, bypassing both EOP and ATP.

When measuring ATP as an independent layer of security, it misses 18% of the malicious emails that bypass EOP. In some environments, the miss rate can be much higher.

The Microsoft Teams Security Report

As firms and workers across the globe went remote, it was Microsoft Teams that saw the bulk of growth for chat and collaboration.

The growth has been exponential and stunning. Teams usage in December 2020 is estimated to be 115 million daily users, growing from 32 million in early March 2020. After what appeared to be an early pandemic rivalry with Slack, Teams quickly became the de-facto communication and collaboration app for anyone using Office 365. Now, 91 of the U.S.’s 100 largest companies use Teams. Twenty organizations with more than 100,000 users use it, with major organizations like Coca-Cola, Pfizer and Accenture, to name a few.

The success of Microsoft Teams has also made it ripe for hackers. In fact, as this year of explosive growth comes to an end, we’ve begun to see and learn how hackers are targeting this platform for data, personal and corporate information, and as a jumping-off point for other attacks.

For this whitepaper, Avanan analyzed nearly 200 enterprise customers for two months. In doing so, we were able to uncover current hacking activities and trends in Teams, as well as assess the overall cybersecurity risk involved in using the service.

12 Charity Engine Recommended items to provide Vendors during a Nonprofit CRM Request for Proposal

Too often when nonprofits do Requests for Proposals for a Fundraising CRM or fundraising technology, they end up creating a Features Checklist Spreadsheet with four different types of feature/capabilities:

  • Already have.
  • Wish we had.
  • Heard about & sounds cool.
  • So brilliant we should apply for a patent.

Unfortunately, RFP’s by checklist can lead to incomplete decisions because the right solution for that org was never proposed. There are capabilities and ideas that people wouldn’t know to think of without knowing the full capacity of a technology product.

Security Monitoring and SIEM

In today's globalized, digital economy, it's essential to monitor and guard your company's data against increasingly advanced cyber threats.

This is getting increasingly complicated by security skill shortage and alert-fatigue caused by too many security tools and not enough people.

Whitepaper: How Financial Services Security Leaders Can Confidently Face Their Next Audit

Chief information security officers (CISOs) and CIOs responsible for security struggle with limited resources to confront complex digital threats and compliance mandates. The threats are becoming more sophisticated. Attacks more numerous. Costs are soaring. Creating an effective in-house security program for mid-market financial services is getting harder every day.

Luckily, the emergence of a new service approach to security—called managed detection and response —is the basis for a business partnership that results in a continuous, stronger, more up-to-date security program for mid-market financial services firms.

This whitepaper explores a new, auditable approach by third-party service providers to create and strengthen a modern security capability in order to add value for your business.

Whitepaper: SOC-as-a-Service for Law Firms

A Security Operations Center (SOC) is a team of cybersecurity professionals whose task it is to monitor networks for cyberattacks and suspicious behavior, as well as improve internal security controls and procedures. Some large enterprises will have their own SOC, but for many law firms that's simply out of the question.

For a law firm, a managed SOC service company like Cygilant can make all the difference. In addition to providing expertise and a repeatable SOC process for effective and scalable operations, SOC analysts can provide detailed reviews of triggered events, and advise on security threats with in-depth knowledge about a law firm's environment, instead of treating each alert in isolation as good or bad.
