As NATO approaches its 75th anniversary, the upcoming summit in Washington DC marks a decisive moment. Amid heightened geopolitical tensions, NATO’s role in global stability is more crucial than ever. Starting tomorrow, this summit offers a timely chance to reassess and reinforce strategies to address today's pressing challenges and prepare for the future. It is critical for security professionals and policymakers to understand NATO’s direction, as the insights and actions emerging from this summit will influence global security dynamics for years to come. With discussions that will shape NATO’s strategies for addressing threats from Russia, China, and beyond, Flashpoint’s Andrew Borene shares the central themes that security professionals should look out for during the summit, including: 🛡️ Collective Defense: Strengthening NATO’s core mission to ensure a unified response to any aggression, reinforcing the security of all member nations. 🤝 Interoperability: Boosting cooperation and seamless integration among NATO members, enhancing overall alliance effectiveness and readiness. 💻 Digital Transformation: Developing strategies to counter advanced cyber threats, ensuring NATO's digital infrastructure remains resilient and secure. 🌍 Geopolitical Hotspots: Addressing critical issues in Ukraine and the Indo-Pacific to maintain regional stability and prevent conflicts. 🌐 Transnational Issues: Tackling global challenges like climate change and counterterrorism, essential for shaping NATO’s strategic direction and impact.

Over the past seven years, Flashpoint has observed a significant rise in the use of infostealer malware. Their simplicity, vast availability, and low costs have made them extremely popular among threat actors, making infostealers an increasingly primary vector for ransomware and other high-impact data breaches. Last year, threat actors using stealers and other illegal tools stole over 7 billion personal records, including social security numbers, financial information, and account credentials. The reality is, even one compromised credential can lead to a data breach or cyberattack. In January 2024, a major European telecommunications company experienced a massive network outage affecting around half of its network’s traffic. The root cause was traced to a single weak password exposed by infostealer malware. 🛡 3 Ways to Protect Your Business: ✔️ Strengthen Your Defenses: Use multi-factor authentication and strong passwords to add extra layers of security. ✔️ Stay Vigilant: Regularly monitor illicit marketplaces for stolen logs linked to your organization. ✔️ Leverage Flashpoint: Our platform provides real-time insights and custom alerts, helping you stay ahead of emerging threats. Read our latest blog for a closer look at the infostealer malware landscape and how you can protect your organization: https://lnkd.in/e9NUuAKh #Infostealers #Malware

A top notch day on Capitol Hill with National Security Institute (NSI)! Thanks to all of our expert panelists on Russia, Iran, and the complexities of the Middle East in these dynamic times of overlapping regional and global adversaries. Looking forward to more in the series from Kelly Crowley on global repression! Also thanks to Emma S. for exceptional preparatory materials - she’s a law student at George Mason University - Antonin Scalia Law School and did great research and writing in advance of a standing room only panel. Icing on the cake for the day was getting to spend some time with my old pal, and Michael Sullivan who is back stateside and doing amazing work to promote international #ruleoflaw around the world through the programs of American Bar Association. It was also excellent to see all of the bipartisan and bicameral staff attendance in Rayburn’s banquet room… it gives me hope for a future of bipartisan policy work on Capitol Hill! Thanks Jessica Jones, Keelin Wolfe, Devlin Birnie along with the volunteers who really made for a great event! Thanks also Martha Miller, Ray Takeyh, Mark N. Katz and Benham Taleblu for sharing your expertise on some hard problems facing the nation!

Artificial intelligence has become a force multiplier for many security teams, but threat actors have taken notice and built AI-powered tools of their own. That’s why Flashpoint’s Beth Allen took the stage at CrestCon EU 2024 in London to share how organizations can mitigate these threats with a proactive and informed approach to cybersecurity. It starts by recognizing where intent, capability and opportunity meet. By examining the tactics used by threat actors, security teams can better understand the evolving threat landscape and improve their defensive measures.
