Cybersecurity Insights with Contrast CISO David Lindner | 12/9

Insight #1

"It’s holiday time, and that means phishing attempts will go up. Those 'sales' and 'prize' emails will flood your inbox with malicious actors hoping unsuspecting victims will fall for their traps. Pay close attention to the messages you receive and if in doubt, move on. Saving a few dollars isn’t worth the potential for harm."
 

Insight #2

"A great holiday gift for your friends or family would be a subscription for a password manager. Get them moving toward smarter password management!"
 

Insight #3

"The United States and European Union are both on the right path to strengthening security across their respective countries. If you have a business in those countries you need to start planning now to significantly increase your transparency about your software and its security posture."
