The dark web has been around for more than 20 years, and in “celebration” we’ve put together a timeline of the major events from these past two decades. It’s important to note that many events lead to the dark web we see today. This is only a taste of its history…

Using biometrics for authentication has always been a source of controversy. At face value, it seems like a fool-proof way to authenticate users. Everyone has unique fingerprints, right? But if you dig a level deeper, you'll find the biometric access management systems that store fingerprints, irises, facial maps, or walking gaits as data. And we all know what happens to data if it’s not protected properly. This brings us to the big problem with biometrics: while passwords can be changed if there’s a data breach, fingerprints and other biometric data are permanent. One breach of a biometrics database is all it takes for someone to lose their identity for a lifetime.

As a CISO, you constantly worry if today is the day you’ll have a security incident. It’s a common problem. There are huge expectations on you and your team, but the support from the business is not always in line with those expectations.

Stolen digital information accelerates and enables fraud. This simple truth is changing the way organizations think about protecting themselves from fraudsters. A recent example drives this point home. Ridesharing has become part of our daily life—Uber and Lyft are ubiquitous across the United States and abroad. Not long ago, someone began ordering rides and then contacting the drivers via phone. This is possible given that rideshare applications offer up the driver’s phone number once a ride is hailed. The fraudster would spoof the calling number to look like it came from the rideshare HQ and then tell the driver to cancel their ride with “Mark,” which the driver recognized as the passenger’s name, and pull over.

One of the most fundamental aspects in the world of intelligence is the application of a process known as The Intelligence Cycle. It enables intelligence professionals regardless of the area of focus – from Counterterrorism to Cybersecurity – to establish a plan of action and execute on that plan to deliver a high-quality intelligence product to the client.
