    In this week's Hacker Headspace, Elliott W. discusses the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's (CISA) recent proposals aimed at enhancing the protection of personal data. These proposals include mandatory cybersecurity standards for contractors handling sensitive government data, robust threat-reporting protocols, and comprehensive incident-response frameworks. As cyber threats become more sophisticated, organisations are urged to strengthen their privacy practices to build public trust and safeguard sensitive information. #Cybersecurity #Privacy

He's invited our amazing Product Manager, Paige Mullen, to share her inspiring journey into the field! ✨ A common question we get from women is, “Do I need a technical background to enter cybersecurity?” The answer is no! There are many pathways into this industry, and we need more women bringing their unique strengths to make cybersecurity even stronger. 💪👩💻 Don’t miss Paige’s story and our conversation on how we can build a more inclusive future in cyber. #womenincyber #diversity #inclusion

With nearly 60% admitting insecure devices pose a high risk, it’s clear that attack surface management is more critical than ever. ACDS’s latest report, Cybersecurity Challenges in 2024, dives into the key risks and offers solutions to mitigate these threats. 📉 Don’t let unknown devices compromise your security—get ahead with better network visibility. 🔗 Download the full report here https://lnkd.in/dAy-QxXF #Cybersecurity #NetworkSecurity #AttackSurfaceManagement

    🚨 Data-driven vulnerability management is the way forward! 🚨 This shift towards a more reliable, data-backed approach is helping teams better understand, predict, and prevent attacks. That’s why ACDS proudly sponsors this report, encouraging the entire industry to move away from proprietary scoring systems and adopt a standardised method for assessing vulnerabilities. Check out the chart below to see which data source or criteria are the most reliable when determining which vulnerabilities are likely to be exploited. 📊 🔗 Download the full report in the comments!

    What's the best data source or criterion to use in determining which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited? Answer: No single source. This chart plots a bunch of different tools (e.g., Metaploit), sources (e.g., CISA KEV), and vuln attributes (e.g., code execution) according to the classic precision and recall metrics used to assess the performance of classification models. Everything shown here tends to perform better for recall/coverage OR precision/efficiency. None does both very well to get into that upper-right quadrant, where we'd want to be for predicting exploitation. That's why the Exploitat Prediciton Scoring System (#EPSS) incorporates all of these sources and criteria (and more!) into a predictive model for exploitation. If you're interested in where EPSS lands on this coverage-recall plot, check out the report linked in the comments. #vulnerabilities #cyberattacks #appsec #cybersecurity
