London, 14th November 2018 -- BitSight, the Standard in Security Ratings, today announced that it has been named a Leader in The Forrester New Wave™: Cybersecurity Risk Rating Solutions, Q4 2018 evaluation. BitSight believes its inclusion and positioning in this report further affirms BitSight’s visionary and strategic approach as well as its dominant market presence in the emerging, globally significant security ratings market.
In Forrester’s assessment, BitSight received a differentiated rating (the highest rating possible) in seven criteria:

• Vision and execution
• Global reach
• Surface and deep web intelligence
• Dark web and technical intelligence
• ating efficacy and transparency
• Thought leadership and strategic partnerships
• Dashboard and alerts

Cybersecurity has become a critical global issue. Historically, there has been little transparency in the marketplace around cyber risks, incidents, and effects, making it difficult for businesses, governments, insurers, and investors to understand and value the cyber risk presented by a third-party vendor/supplier, insured, or investment. BitSight’s Security Ratings platform delivers the foundational data and analytics necessary for business leaders, investors, and policymakers to begin addressing the global cyber risk management challenge.
Report authors Trevor Lyness and Nick Hayes state, “BitSight leads the pack with a reliable rating methodology and flexible platform. BitSight’s name is well-known and respected in this budding market, and it offers one of the strongest platforms in terms of scale, reach, and partner network. BitSight places a premium on the accuracy of its ratings, incorporating strong data model governance practices and third-party validation of its scoring methodology.” The report continues, “[BitSight] is the best fit for companies that want an established, well-developed solution. [Security and Risk] pros will find value in sharing a common view with many of their industry peers and partners who also use BitSight as well as detailed and flexible dashboards.” A customer reference in the report states, “industry-wide acceptance and an intuitive UI made BitSight an easy choice for us” and “its action-plan tracking helps us stay on top of our vendors to make sure they follow through.”
“Cybersecurity ratings will be part of every future business to business transaction,” said Tom Turner, CEO of BitSight. “As the pioneer and visionary of the Security Ratings industry, BitSight is building a platform that is integral to security and risk professionals, as well as to every global business, investor, and policymaker. We are pleased to be recognised by Forrester as a leader in this evaluation. We believe this recognition, combined with our track record of vision and execution ensures that our customers are able to successfully address the global cyber risk management challenge.”

Powerful Combination of ThreatQ Threat Intelligence Platform and Visa Threat Intelligence Data Enables a More Proactive Cyber Defense and Streamlined Incident Management
LONDON - 5TH NOVEMBER, 2018 – ThreatQuotient™, a trusted threat intelligence platform innovator, today announced that it is integrating verified breach intelligence from Visa to enable customers to better detect and protect against cyber attacks targeting payment data. The integration of the ThreatQ™ threat intelligence platform with Visa Threat Intelligence will provide incident responders and defenders of corporate networks with the context, customisation and collaboration needed to transform critical threat data into actionable threat intelligence that can help identify breaches in advance.
Visa Threat Intelligence is a subscription service delivered via the Visa Developer Center API that shares Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) – data exclusively derived from Visa investigations into past and ongoing payment system breaches. Together with ThreatQ’s Threat Library™, Adaptive Workbench™ and Open Exchange™, organisations can benefit from increased security effectiveness and more efficient threat operations and management. This integration can be instrumental in helping customers determine if they have been the victim of a financially motivated breach, and fortifying their cyber defenses to prevent future breaches in a broader effort to prevent card fraud.
“Retailers are investing heavily in cybersecurity to protect payment card data and other personally identifiable information, and ThreatQuotient is proud to partner with a global leader like Visa to bring a stronger security resource to this market,” says Haig Colter, director of alliances at ThreatQuotient. “Cyber criminals are reusing tactics, techniques and procedures, leaving a recognisable trail of breadcrumbs and insights into the very attacks they are launching. This partnership is going to provide defenders with the tools needed to put these insights into action, offering a leg-up against adversaries and helping to automate processes and make existing resources, both people and infrastructure, even more effective.”
In 2017, research confirmed that the U.S. and Europe were the top two regions for payment data breaches. Additionally, the number of retail companies affected by a breach have more than doubled since 2015. Leaders in retail, often companies that are household names, understand that facing a breach would be a high-profile event and that they must take a more proactive approach to preventing successful attacks. Threat actors reuse the same tactics – specific malware, targeted vulnerabilities and preferred infrastructure – to execute attacks across a wide range of merchants. By focusing on the characteristics of previous attacks using verified breach data, security analysts can detect and mitigate risks sooner.

Cyberattacks from Russia and China are attempting to cause system outages and destroy data, according to the world’s leading incident response (IR) professionals
Research reveals 20 different state voter databases available for purchase on the dark web
READING, UK — 30th October, 2018 — Carbon Black (NASDAQ: CBLK), a leader in next-generation endpoint security delivered via the cloud, today announced the release of its Quarterly Incident Response Threat Report (QIRTR) aggregating key findings from IR partner investigations during the last 90 days.
Among the key findings from the report:

• Destructive cyberattacks are on the rise. IR firms said that victims experienced destructive attacks 32% of the time
• Of 113 investigations Carbon Black partners conducted in the third quarter, 41 percent stemmed from Russia and China
• Two-thirds of IR professionals interviewed believe cyberattacks will influence the upcoming U.S. elections.

The QIRTR aggregates qualitative and quantitative input from 37 Carbon Black IR partners. The report’s goal is to offer actionable intelligence for business and technology leaders, fueled by analysis of the newest threats, and expert insights on how to stop them. This is Carbon Black’s second quarterly report since introducing the QIRTR in July.
“Our research found that today’s attackers are increasingly punitive, sophisticated and confident,” said Tom Kellermann, Chief Cybersecurity Officer for Carbon Black and one of the report’s authors. “And because of the dark web, they have access to complex tools and compromised infrastructures, including voter databases. This allows attackers to exploit new security vulnerabilities and operate at a higher level of sophistication than before.”
Carbon Black researchers also found 20 different state voter databases available for purchase on the dark web, several from swing states. Critical information in these offerings include voter IDs, full names, current / previous addresses, genders, phone numbers, and citizenship status, among other information.
According to the research, the dark web also offers hacking and influence campaigns targeting social media sites, as well as hackers for hire, who offer to target government entities for the purposes of database manipulation, economic/ corporate espionage, DDoS attacks and botnet rentals.
In conjunction with the report’s release, Carbon Black hosted its inaugural Incident Response Partner Advisory Council (IR Council) meeting in Chicago on October 30. Designed to be an open, engaging environment, the IR Council provides the Carbon Black Incident Response partner community, which totals more than 100 partners, an opportunity to share knowledge and best practices with peers and help guide the direction of Carbon Black’s existing and future products and solutions. IR Council members include security thought leaders from Ankura, Critical Start, Crowe, Grant Thornton, HALOCK Security Labs, IBM, Kroll, Lifars, Nisos Group, NTT Security, Optiv, Rapid7, Sylint and Trustwave.
