Unpacking CloudCover’s “Solution Differentiators” Part One: Our Ethos & Technology

Unpacking CloudCover’s “Solution Differentiators” Part One: Our Ethos & Technology

In the first of a five-part blog series, we’ll introduce you to CloudCover’s solution differentiators — starting with our beliefs around the future of cybersecurity and why our AI/ML (automated intelligence/machine learning) X/NDR (extended network detection response) SOAR (security orchestration, automation and response) technology is miles away from our competition.

Ransomware: What is it? Why are attacks on the rise? How can they be prevented?

Ransomware: What is it? Why are attacks on the rise? How can they be prevented?

Ransomware has been a significant symptom to network security risk for quite some time. However, COVID-19 and its effects on how companies do business have caused ransomware attacks to surge in the past 18 months – and these threats will only continue to grow. Here’s an overview of ransomware, the reasons for the escalating attacks, and why there is indeed a solution for ransomware detection and response.

AI-Detect, Auto-Control, Microsecond Response: Are You Ready for the New Era of CyberSafety?

AI-Detect, Auto-Control, Microsecond Response: Are You Ready for the New Era of CyberSafety?

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes more prevalent in our day-to-day lives, cybercriminals are also using it for their daily hacking activities — and that means the cybersecurity strategies that organizations currently employ for IT security simply aren’t cutting it. In this blog, we’ll walk through the particulars of AI-based SOAR (security, orchestration, automation, and response) technology and why it’s a critical part of the new era of proactive CyberSafety.

Banking

Banking

Financial services and banking institutions have long been prime targets for cyber attacks for a simple reason – where there’s money, there’s money to be made. According to a study conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank, companies in this sector are 300x times more at risk for data security threats than any other industry. Knowing this, the midwest bank knew they needed to implement a comprehensive network security strategy – and they needed to do it with a lack of staff and budget.

Healthcare

Healthcare

Healthcare systems are particularly vulnerable to cyberattacks due to the sheer volume of information they possess – information that’s of high monetary and intelligence value. Pair that with the incredible complexity of healthcare organizations – legacy systems, resource availability, compliance, and more – and you’ve got yourself a challenging environment. Our client, an IT department within a multi-campus healthcare system, was uneasy with the lack of a holistic network security solution, so we installed the B100 series of our CyberSafety CC/B1 Platform.

Threat Stopping vs. Threat Hunting: The Shift the Security Industry Needs to Make Now to Get Ahead of the Next Big Cyberattack

Threat Stopping vs. Threat Hunting: The Shift the Security Industry Needs to Make Now to Get Ahead of the Next Big Cyberattack

In our current cybersecurity landscape, threat hunting is often seen as the most proactive practice organizations can perform to protect themselves against cyberattacks. But why simply hunt the threats when you can stop them? In this blog, we talk both threat stopping (also known as network detection and response) and threat hunting – the definitions, the benefits, and why the edge goes to the former.
