For at least a decade, ransomware has remained one of the most significant security problems organizations have faced, and it continues to grow more damaging. In 2023, ransomware incidents increased by 73%, and payments exceeded $1 billion for the first time.| Netography
As networks evolve—spanning on-prem, hybrid, and multi-cloud infrastructures—traditional security tools are falling behind. Legacy intrusion detection systems (IDS) and network detection and response (NDR) tools were designed for relatively static environments. Today’s reality is dynamic, distributed, and encrypted. To keep pace, organizations need security that’s just as modern: flexible, cloud-native, and encryption-agnostic.| Netography
Support for Azure Network Security Group (NSG) flow logs is ending soon. Are you ready? Starting June 30, 2025, Microsoft will block the creation of new NSG flow logs. By September 30, 2027, all NSG flow logs—and any analytics tied to them—will be permanently deleted.| Netography
The total average annual cost of an insider incident increased to $17.4 million in 2024, up from $16.2 million in 2023, largely driven by the resources required for containment and response. Reducing time to containment and response is a priority for insider risk management teams. Resilient operational security plans that anticipate insider threats can reduce the time needed for an investigation and the overall stress on frequently overtaxed teams.| Netography
“It was a dark and stormy night…” Wait, sorry, wrong story. This story is about Zero Trust, how it works great until it doesn’t, and what you don’t know you don’t know.| Netography
Ransomware is one of the greatest cyberthreats to organizations and continues to escalate. In 2024, thousands of attacks cost businesses nearly a billion dollars, according to Chainalysis researchers (who track ransomware payments by mapping and disentangling cryptocurrency transactions). Though the total paid out decreased in 2024, the number of ransomware payments was the highest volume since 2021 – and individual ransom payments hit record-setting levels.| Netography

The Netography Fusion platform maps detections from over 300 detection models to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, accelerating your response workflows to malicious activity.| Netography
Gartner forecasts generative AI will be used in 17% of cyberattacks within the next two years. This is not surprising, given that we already see examples of threat actors using AI for their operations. The initial use case involves leveraging AI to simplify access to an environment.| Netography
Ransomware is one of the most pernicious types of attacks we see today. Why do we continue to see so much of it? Because, as the infamous bank robber Willie Sutton said, “That’s where the money is.”| Netography
Trend data from the M-Trends 2024 Special Report shows that global median dwell time (defined as the number of days an attacker is on a system from compromise to detection) has dropped significantly over the past decade, which is promising news. However, approximately 45% of intrusions still take weeks to months to detect, exposing organizations to significant risk.| Netography
