🎯 "𝗜𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀, 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗮 𝘃𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗰𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸." This stark warning from our Managing Director Mitja Trampuz in Časnik Finance underscores a critical reality facing modern businesses. 𝗔 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: "The average cybersecurity system still consists of just antivirus software and a firewall. Companies don't understand the holistic nature of information security -even if they're following trends by using advanced threat detection and response solutions, they simultaneously employ weak authentication mechanisms and don't encrypt their data. In reality, most don't know all their risks because they simply haven't conducted risk analyses yet." This limited approach to cybersecurity is further reflected in several concerning industry trends and gaps that need to be addressed: 🔸 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: Comprehensive security investment averages just 1-2% of a typical cyber incident cost  🔸 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: Despite growing threats, most organizations conduct zero security training annually  🔸 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗚𝗮𝗽: Protection of cloud services remains an afterthought despite rapid adoption  🔸 𝗘𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀: Post-quantum cryptography and zero-trust architectures becoming essential for future-proof security  🔸 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗿-𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆: Implementation success heavily depends on seamless user experience    ➡️𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲: "The real question isn't whether you'll face a cyber attack - it's when and how prepared you'll be." 🔗 Read the full interview: https://lnkd.in/dWEdRZNS CREAPLUS is uniquely positioned as a center of excellence for both cybersecurity and AI, offering comprehensive solutions aligned with NIS2 requirements.

🚨 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝗜: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲-𝗘𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆   Most firms using generative AI experience related security incidents – even as it empowers security teams. This is a strong call to action.  New research from Capgemini Research Institute reveals a stark reality about GenAI adoption: while it empowers security teams, it also introduces significant risks.  𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀:  🔸 𝟵𝟳% 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗔𝗜 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀  🔸 𝟱𝟮% 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 of $50M+ from these incidents  🔸 𝟰𝟯% 𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 from deepfake attacks   🔸 𝟲𝟮% acknowledge the 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀  Unfortunately, it is not always clear whether they are talking about classic AI or GenAI.  🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gHkjdJeR  As cybersecurity & AI experts, we believe the message is clear: GenAI adoption requires a comprehensive security strategy backed by adequate resources. The technology's potential is immense, but so are the risks of hasty implementation without proper safeguards.  #AI #GenAI #Cybersecurity #GenerativeAI #InfoSec #AISecurity #RiskManagement #SecurityStrategy #CREAPLUS 

𝗜𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗨𝗽 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗜𝗘𝗠 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗿? Relationships are like seesaws – they need effort from both sides to stay balanced. But what happens when your SIEM vendor is just along for the ride, while you're doing all the heavy lifting? Like that partner who keeps promising to change but never does, many MSSPs find themselves stuck in an unfulfilling SIEM relationship. The signs are familiar: 🔸𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀  - "We'll fix it soon" - but feature delays continue  - "It's on our roadmap" - but integrations never arrive  - "We're working on it" - but support tickets gather dust  - "Next release will have it" - but automation remains limited 🔹𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘂𝗽:  - Document all unfulfilled promises  - List pending integration needs  - Track stalled support tickets  - Prepare your must-have requirements Just like in personal relationships, holding onto false hope only delays the inevitable. Your security posture deserves better. Stellar Cyber's Open XDR Platform helps security teams move on to healthier vendor relationships.

Here is what you need to know:  🎯 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀:  1. 𝟮𝟬𝟯𝟬: Standard encryption, such as RSA, ECDSA, EdDSA, DH, and ECDH 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱  2. 𝟮𝟬𝟯𝟱: 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗺𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱 🔐 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:  • Code Signing: Protecting software integrity  • Authentication: User and machine verification  • Network Security: Protocol updates  • Document Security: Long-term data protection ⚠️ 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗡𝗼𝘄:  The SHA-1 to SHA-2 migration is a sobering example of how long cryptographic transitions take. Despite starting in 2011 with major browser vendors announcing SHA-1's deprecation, full migration wasn't completed until 2023. And that was for a simple change compared to the quantum transition we're facing now. Some analysts predict quantum threats as early as 2028. 🛡️ 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆:  1. Inventory all cryptographic assets  2. Modernize PKI & signing infrastructure  3. Automate migration to quantum-safe certificates  4.

📜"𝙁𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙡𝙮𝙥𝙝𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙪𝙢 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜" - This was the fascinating journey explored by our cryptography expert Nastja Cepak at Bloomberg Adria Cyber Security conference. Highlights:     🔸Nastja Cepak, with her deep cryptographic expertise, took the audience on a journey through 4,000 years of information protection. From the first encrypted hieroglyphs in Egyptian tombs to the development of Colossus, the first electronic computer, she demonstrated how cryptographic breakthroughs have accelerated - from 3,000 years between early innovations to just a few years in the modern era. 📚    🔸"𝘞𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘨𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩," emphasized Cepak, warning about the challenges quantum technologies pose to our current digital infrastructure.    🔸Our Managing Director Mitja Trampuz complemented the discussion with a strategic perspective on current challenges. He highlighted that we're at another technological turning point with the rise of AI and quantum technologies. In light of current geopolitical tensions, he called on cybersecurity professionals to accelerate their understanding of new threats with even greater depth.   Thank you Bloomberg Adria for organizing an outstanding event bringing together the region's top cybersecurity minds. 🤝   #CyberSecurity #Bloomberg #QuantumComputing #AI #InformationSecurity #Innovation #Technology #Cryptography #CREAPLUS
