Cybersecurity Insights with Contrast SVP of Cyber Strategy Tom Kellermann | 6/30

 

What lies below the waterline?

Insight #1

"We must come to grips with the reality that cybercriminals and spies do not merely want to steal. Rather, their goal is to hijack your digital transformation and launch attacks from it."
 

Insight #2

"The MOVEit attack is yet another example of geopolitical tension spilling over into cyberspace, as we witness ransomware gangs act out in a patriotic fashion for the Russian homeland. The systemic MOVEit attack underscores the harsh reality that software supply chain attacks will lead to island hopping."
 

Insight #3

"As application attacks surge, we must acknowledge that web application firewalls (WAFs) are dead.  They cannot stop injection attacks, nor can they stop attacks from backend systems.  Runtime Application Protection (RASPs) are the future."
 

Insight #4

"AI — e.g., Large Language Models (LLMs) — can be poisoned via integrity attacks against the data sets they rely on or Chronos attacks against the value of time."
