Cybersecurity Hacks: The ESET Guide to Staying Safe.
The digital frontier has never been more treacherous. As cybercriminals deploy advanced artificial intelligence to automate attacks, individuals and organizations must move past basic security awareness. True digital resilience requires proactive tactics, active endpoint defense, and rapid recovery strategies. The digital world moves fast, and cybercriminals are moving even faster. Today, threat actors swap basic viruses for AI-driven tricks, highly targeted scams, and silent

SMB cyber readiness: the road to resilience starts here
Your business may be small, but its attack surface is anything but. Readiness is the first step to resilience. SMB cybersecurity isn’t always given the attention it deserves, including by small businesses themselves. That’s concerning for various reasons, notably because the companies comprise 90% of the world’s businesses, 70% of its employees, and 50% of global GDP, according to the World Economic Forum (WEF). With fewer resources to spend on cybersecurity, funds must be al

SMB cyber-readiness: What makes or breaks it
A company that's expecting a cyberattack but hasn’t actively prepared for it risks making the hardest decisions at the worst possible moment “Fix the roof while the sun is shining.” – proverb Cybersecurity has a familiar way of saying the storm will come: “a breach is a matter of when, not if.” While the industry’s sternest maxim has probably never been more true, it sometimes feels as though it’s also lost some of its edge over the years. While everyone agrees that there cou

Cybercriminals: the 'auditors' you never hired
Every organisation gets audited. The question is who does the auditing. There’s one cognitive bias that we humans are prone to, and it lies at the centre of some of the challenges that cybersecurity professionals face every day. It’s known as the normalcy bias – what Dr. Lauren Braithwaite defines as “our tendency to underestimate the possibility of disaster and believe that life will continue as normal, even in the face of significant threats or crises.” It's why people hesi

As breakout time accelerates, prevention-first cybersecurity takes center stage
Threat actors are using AI to supercharge tried-and-tested TTPs. When attacks move this fast, cyber-defenders need to rethink their own strategy. We stand at an interesting point in the never-ending arms race between attackers and defenders. The former are using AI, automation and a range of techniques to sometimes devastating effect. In fact, one report claims that 80% of ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) groups now offer AI or automation as features – and, of course, there’s a

A cunning predator: How Silver Fox preys on Japanese firms this tax season
Silver Fox is back in Japan, spoofing tax and HR emails timed to the one season when no one thinks twice about opening them. Japan has entered its annual tax filing and organizational change season, a period when companies generate a high volume of legitimate financial and HR‑related communications. A threat actor known as Silver Fox is actively exploiting this busy period by conducting a targeted spearphishing campaign against Japanese manufacturers and other businesses. The

Cyber fallout from the Iran war: What to have on your radar
The cybersecurity implications of the war in the Middle East extend far beyond the region. Here’s where to focus your defenses. The war in Iran was less than 24 hours old when it produced a historic first: the deliberate targeting of commercial data centers. On March 1st, Iranian drones hit three Amazon Web Services (AWS) facilities in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, disrupting core cloud infrastructure and knocking out finance apps and enterprise tools not only across

Cloud workload security: Mind the gaps
As IT infrastructure expands, visibility and control often lag behind – until an incident forces a reckoning. Complexity is said to be the enemy of many things, but when it comes to organizations and their IT systems and processes, complexity is arguably the worst enemy of cybersecurity. For many IT and security practitioners, this plays out daily as they scramble to manage what IBM once called a "Frankencloud," a patchwork of private and public cloud environments, often furt

What Cybersecurity actually does for your business.
The ability to continue operating safely in an unsafe environment where competitors cannot is a competitive advantage that is rarely measured or discussed. Cybersecurity is one of the few business functions where success is typically quiet. From the outside, it may even look uneventful. On the inside, however, it reflects a sequence of seemingly unremarkable processes and controls doing what they were designed to do: stopping technical incidents from escalating into business
