Nyotron-Osterman Research Webinar: The Critical Role of Endpoint Detection and Response
The proven inadequacy of antivirus and endpoint protection platforms (EPP) in the face of today’s sophisticated evasion tactics, unknown threats, zero-day and fileless attacks is prompting more organizations to implement Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) products.

Lives at Risk: The Frightening Worst-Case Scenario of a Healthcare Data Breach
I follow a number of healthcare IT industry media outlets like Health Data Management, FierceHealthcare and Healthcare IT News, and have presented at healthcare conferences. Most of the articles I read and the conversations I’ve had were data-driven and examined cybersecurity from an IT professional’s perspective. Because I’m so close to the industry and the challenges it faces, I […]
Don’t Accept More False Positives in a Trade for Better Endpoint Security
Cybersecurity professionals accept that some unpleasant aspects of their jobs are inevitable. For example, attackers don’t take days (or nights) off; end users will make a stink whenever a security scan slows their devices or interrupts their workflows for even just a few minutes; and adding more layers to the security stack increases the number […]
Nyotron Webinar: Can ILOVEYOU Still Break Your Heart?

Applying the Zero Trust Model to Endpoint Security
By Robert Zamani, Nyotron You may be familiar with the concept of taking a “Zero Trust” approach to security. It’s an extension of the Principle of Least Privilege that calls for restricting access to information, systems, and services to only those who require it for their job duties. This approach can be attributed to Google […]
HIMSS19 Recap – a Cybersecurity Wake-up Call
The annual HIMSS conference covers all areas of healthcare IT, and cybersecurity was clearly top-of-mind for organizers and attendees at this year’s event.

Is the Cybersecurity Industry’s Glass Half-Full or Half-Empty?
You’re probably familiar with the test of showing someone a glass filled halfway with water and asking them whether it is half-full or half-empty. If they see the former, they’re optimistic by nature, and pessimistic if they think the latter. The 2018 data breach statistics are rolling in now from a number of vendors and […]
Re-imagining Endpoint Security in Just 2 Minutes
Two minutes is not a lot of time. It takes at least three minutes to steep a Lipton bag in boiling water to make a decent cup of tea, and six minutes to boil an egg. Yet two minutes is all the time you need to watch our new video and learn how to protect […]

If you watch just a few minutes of the seemingly ‘round-the-clock coverage of the games, chances are you’ll hear about the betting odds. Football has long been a favorite among sports gamblers, particularly the Super […]
