Cryptojacking in the age of cryptocurrency mining
Whilst the future use and viability of Cryptocurrencies may still be up for debate, the influence Bitcoin (the most famous cryptocurrency) has had on the market is clear– with its valuation peaking at just shy of $20,000 in December 2017.
BlackFog’s Multi Layered Approach to Cybersecurity
Many cyber security companies can tell you when an attack has taken place or when data breach has occurred. Few provide a preventative, multi-layered approach that can combat the growing number of threats we see today.
Understanding modern cybersecurity anatomy
The threat landscape we see today is vastly different and infinitely more sophisticated. The days of protecting yourself from bad actors using a single antivirus solution are now behind us. Fileless network protection is a key element to device security and an important part of the layered security strategy.
Protecting Online Privacy
Most security products focus on resolving problems based on known vulnerabilities and inbound traffic whereas data and identity theft protection is concerned specifically with data loss prevention. We discuss the different types of defense mechanisms available and contrast BlackFog's approach.
Facebook Data Privacy Protection
With the recent revelation that Facebook tracks you whether or not you are a Facebook customer means that people had no option to opt out of this massive data collection exercise.
Fileless Network Protection
Fileless network protection is a key element to device security and is an important part of a layered approach to security. The days of protecting yourself from bad actors using AntiVirus (AV) solutions are behind us.
Cryptocurrency Mining Protection
Cryptocurrency mining is the latest trend in hacking (also called Cryptojacking) where code is injected into web sites and is used to hijack the users’ CPU to mine cryptocurrency. This has been driven by a boom in the value of cryptocoins in general and is a way for hackers to make money.
Fileless PowerShell Attacks
Fileless PowerShell attacks are now the preferred weapon of choice for cyberattacks because they provide a number of techniques around existing security. Not least of all, the ability to run directly in memory and remotely download payloads.
Dark Web Protection
BlackFog recently introduced Dark Web protection to prevent data loss, activation and transfer of malware over the Dark Web. With an exponential increase in activity over the Dark Web over the last 12 months it is crucial that your devices are protected from this new threat. The Dark Web ransomware economy alone is growing by 2,500% annually.
