Since governments have so many potential attack vectors to manage, government cybersecurity professionals need clear processes, procedures and authority to harden vulnerable environments.

The concept of mutually assured destruction (MAD) has historically prevented nuclear war, but threat actors' advanced obfuscation techniques have made cyber deterrence difficult if not impossible.

Nearly one-third of incidents reported in Q3 were classified as "destructive attacks," according to a recent report, putting election security at risk leading up to the 2018 midterms.

It's not enough to follow a rough outline of your incident response strategy. Conduct regular, intensive, detailed exercises within a well-defined framework to establish cybersecurity muscle memory.

IBMer Mike Barcomb draws upon his experience in the U.S. Army Reserve to lead a team of incident response experts through careful planning, regular rehearsals and quick decision-making.

Even after a successful attack, security teams can still minimize the financial and reputational damage associated with a breach by following the IBM X-Force cyberattack framework.

An attacker who gains access won't necessarily walk away with an organization's proprietary data. Here's how a cyberattack framework can help you subvert an attacker already in a network.

In the external reconnaissance and launch attack phases of the X-Force IRIS cyberattack preparation framework, threat actors look for vulnerabilities and tailor their attacks to exploit them.
