Cyber Defense eMagazine March Edition for 2022
The view from the Publisher’s desk is very encouraging, based on celebrating 10 years of growth and success at Cyber Defense Magazine! When our tiny team began our journey at Cyber Defense Media Group (CDMG) together in January 2012, we were happy to help smaller, lesser-known innovators of infosec, get their message out there and Rise Above the noise. Now, after 10 years, we’re even helping multi-billion-dollar companies and governments around the globe with our offices in DC, London, FL, NY and other locations in play, as we continue to scale, thanks to you – our readers, listeners, viewers and media partners. Beyond the magazine, in response to the demands of our markets, the scope of CDMG’s activities has grown into many media endeavors. They now include Cyber Defense Awards; Cyber Defense Conferences; Cyber Defense Professionals (job postings site being revamped); Cyber Defense TV, Radio, and Webinars; and Cyber Defense Ventures (partnering with investors). Please check them out and see how much more CDMG has to offer! Very respectfully and with much appreciation, Gary Miliefsky, Publisher

Lessons Learned: In the Principle Of “Least Privilege,”<br />
Where Do Companies Fall Short?<br />
By Raj Dodhiawala, President, Remediant<br />
Lateral movement using compromised admin credentials is integral to almost all ransomware<br />
and malware attacks today. Specifically exploiting privilege sprawl—or the always-on, alwaysavailable<br />
administrative access to servers, workstations, and laptops—has become a lucrative<br />
opportunity <strong>for</strong> cyber attackers, allowing them to significantly increase their rate of success with<br />
stolen credentials and elevated privileges and, due to implicit trust between systems, the ease<br />
of damaging lateral movement. According to Verizon’s 2021 DBIR report, 74% of cyber-attacks<br />
are caused by privilege misuse or compromise, and <strong>for</strong> every cybersecurity team, that<br />
administrative access sprawl and high risk of lateral movement pose as serious, everyday<br />
threats to their resilience to cyberattacks.<br />
