Flaws in Modern Technology: Meltdown & Spectre
Data Center Solutions By: PremierComm
Defects in microprocessors were recently discovered by computer security experts—such as Spectre and Meltdown. LogicMonitor.com reported on how the security patch may affect cloud users. These defects have been labeled as catastrophic, and give hackers access to private information on computers as well as personal devices and servers using cloud computer networks. However, fixing these problems is not as simple as one would hope.
According to researchers, Spectre requires redesigning processors. Meltdown, on the other hand, requires a software patch that will help solve…
Stealth cyber attacks are all too common throughout today’s digital threat landscape. Cisco AMP for Meraki MX was created specifically with these increasing security risks in mind. Cisco AMP for Meraki MX features detection capabilities across multiple sites—tracking in real time, while also recording and analyzing previous occurrences across your network.
As internet users, we all must understand that security breaches may, at times, enter our networks. It is critical that these threats be detected quickly—and that action be taken immediately. However, without the… 
We live in a world where hackers and bad actors are working day and night to develop attacks capable of bypassing firewall, antivirus, and intrusion prevention systems. While these perimeter defense systems are critical to an effective security plan, they simply cannot be relied on to be 100% effective in detecting all system threats. These front line systems provide dangerously little in the way of post breach data to IT security teams. This can often leave security teams blind to the extent of a breach until major damage has already been done. Advanced, real-time threat analysis capabilities… 
With an average of 100 billion internet requests on a daily basis, we are finding that the number of existing roaming users has steadily increased, that there is more internet activity happening off-network, and users are accessing the internet from other networks. The bottom line is that many users don’t need to be on a corporate network to complete their tasks. When users are off-network, their systems become more vulnerable as they lack visibility and protection. This opens a wide door for malware, ransomware, and other attacks to occur.
Cisco Umbrella provides the first line…
