Cyber attacks can hit any organization and even derail its operation on a grand scale. Just recently, ISS World, a facility management service provider with clients in more than 70 countries worldwide, released a statement where it mentions being the victim of a malware attack.
IP spoofing is a cyberattack technique that entails using a device or a network to fool users into thinking the attacker is part of a legitimate entity. Often, cybercriminals use this method to access computers in a target network to obtain sensitive information, turn systems into zombies, or launch a denial-of-service (DoS) attack.
An attempted ransomware attack on some Louisiana state servers caused the state's cybersecurity team to shut down their IT systems and websites. Governor John Bel Edwards, however, emphasized that not all of the state's servers were affected.
For several years, digital security relied on a simple strategy – gain insight from past events, learn from them, and base security protection accordingly.
Digital rights management (DRM) is undoubtedly a hot topic in today's connected environment. As over-the-top (OTT) media distribution channels fortify month after month, so do the risks that come with their use. Data theft, billion-dollar revenue losses, and compliance issues are just a few of these risks. As the year draws to a close, let's examine the persistent challenges in the DRM space and how IP geolocation can help in some cases.

There's no denying the fact that many enterprises worldwide use security information and event management (SIEM) software. These products collect, analyze, and create reports on cybersecurity data from the range of systems an organization uses. Some SIEM programs are even capable of stopping attacks in progress as soon as these are detected.
