“Unfortunately, it’s never been easier to be a cybercriminal. Complex attacks previously required serious skills, knowledge and resource. Now the technology and training is available for the price of a gallons of gas”
Alex Holland, Senior Malware Analyst at HP Inc.
“Many of the most common categories of threat such as those delivered via email and the web can be fully neutralized through techniques such as threat containment and isolation, greatly reducing an organization’s attack surface regardless of whether the vulnerabilities are patched or not.”
Dr. Ian Pratt, Global Head of Security for Personal Systems at HP Inc.
“If the worst happens and a threat actor breaches your defenses, then you don’t want this to be the first time you have initiated an incident response plan. “Ensuring that everyone knows their roles, and that people are familiar with the processes they need to follow, will go a long way to containing the worst of the impact.”
Joanna Burkey, Chief Information Security Officer at HP Inc.
"This is why organizations must view security as a stack, streamlining tech and building resilience in from the hardware up to reduce the attack surface and remove the onus from the individual.”
Michael Calce, HP Security Advisory Board Chairman and former blackhat “MafiaBoy”
“One of the biggest reasons for hope is seeing how the cybersecurity community has grown in its size and willingness to share. Much like adversaries, collaborating and sharing knowledge is essential for fighting back against the tide of attacks. “By proactively scanning the landscape for threats and sharing insights with our peers, we can together build a more secure and resilient digital world.”
