Weak passwords can be broken fast, so make sure this #CyberAwarenessMonth users have strong passwords.
Attackers don’t always have to break a password – they can steal it. Organizations need an extra layer of defense to prevent credential compromise: h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/getpdf…
With the lines between home and office blurring, organizations are facing more endpoint security risks that cybercriminals are keen to exploit.
HP's Alex Holland explains how organizations can adapt and future-proof against these threats in @CIOonline : global.resources.cio.com/res…

ChromeLoader campaigns are getting more polished, even employing code-signing certificates to bypass Windows security policies.
Successful attacks take control of a user’s browser, redirecting searches to attack-controlled sites. Read more: ow.ly/wlWr50TuqyX
Cybercriminals are abusing SVG scripting, commonly used in graphic design, to run malicious code.
Opening the image causes the code to run, ultimately leading to multiple infostealers trying to infect the target PC.

We were proud to sponsor BSides Bristol this year – a brilliant 2-day event, covering everything from cybercrime takedowns and battle bots to bug bounties and ICS security.
We also contributed prizes to the charity raffle, raising over £3,000 for Bristol Autism Support 🙌
During the event the team also:
•Educated attendees about HP Wolf Security and our Security Lab
•Highlighted HP's security research and innovation
•Encouraged applications to HP Bristol and Cambridge security roles and internships
We’re looking forward to next year's event! 📅
