Cisco Firepower Management Center Brings Security Into Focus

By Joseph O’Laughlin IT Teams gain insight and focus with the industry’s most comprehensive NGFW management – before, during and after attacks. As we discussed in our last two posts, most organizations today secure their networks using disparate technologies that are unable to work together. Legacy NGFWs are not threat-focused but rather focused rather on controlling applications. Nor are they fully integrated from a security perspective (which we covered in our last post ) or from a management perspective, which we’ll tackle in this post. In order to []

Tax Scams Gone International

By Talos Group Tax time in the US is quickly approaching. Everyone should be on the lookout for scams that are designed to trick you out of your money and personal information.

The First Law of IoT: Things that Can Be Connected, Will Be Connected

By Eric Wenger Recently, I had the opportunity to participate on a panel discussion of Internet of Things (IoT) privacy and security at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
