The protracted war on Ukraine has been fought on both physical and digital worlds, but after the initial forays last spring, Russian attacks on Ukrainian digital infrastructure have increased lately, according to new reports by three security analyst groups.I document these new series of Russian malware attacks in my latest SIliconANGLE story.

Cybersecurity threats continue to plague cloud infrastructures, and sadly these threats are still mostly the same from years’ past.

But just because these threats continue doesn’t mean that cloud security, taken as a whole tapestry, isn’t as secure as on-premises equipment. That debate — which seems to have spanned a decade or more — should be put to rest forever. Two things many information technology managers have learned are that data center technology doesn’t age well, and it also accumulates tremendous technical debt, the implied cost of future reworking required when problems need to be fixed or approaches become less useful over time.

In this special report for SiliconANGLE, I review the top five threats and what you can do to fix them.

Once again, I revisit the amazing annual National Guard Cyber Shield exercise, 800 people assembled at a National Guard base in North Little Rock, Arkansas, to train the Guard’s cyber warriors. The exercises have been held annually since 2007.

The quick answer, in my piece for SiliconANGLE, is no, not quite yet. Certainly IT managers want to secure their entire collection of web browsers across an enterprise. This has been a sleeper product category for many years, but it’s now heating up thanks to better management tools and an increasing awareness of threats such as phishing and email compromises.
