CyberInsights Weekly #17

Your weekly dose of learnings from cybersecurity news

I. What on flat network…?

A cyber attack on Barnes and Noble caused the outage of content and services Nook digital readers’ users.

While the RCA is not yet out, lack of network segmentation could have led to faster lateral movement.

The world is not flat, and neither should your network be.

CISO Check:

How easy is it to reach a device on your corporate network from customer facing networks (stores, POS, content and apps, etc.)?

How do you balance ease of remote administration in the current work from home scenario with secure privileged access?

II. Restaurants beware, hackers are hungry.

There was a spate of cyber attacks on restaurant chains in the last week. First it was Haldirams, then Mithaas and now Nandos.

Is this a targeted attack on the food and beverage sector? Were these companies already breached and attackers waited for the industry to restart after the lockdown?

CISO Check:

Have you performed a compromise assessment lately?

III. Quote of the week

“The five most efficient cyber defenders are: Anticipation, Education, Detection, Reaction and Resilience. "Cybersecurity is much more than an IT topic.” 
― Stephane Nappo
