NetworkNewsBreaks – SideChannel Inc. (SDCH) CEO Weighs In on Defending Against Zero-Day Attacks
SideChannel (OTCQB: SDCH) CEO and cybersecurity expert Brian Haugli was quoted in a recent IT Brew article focused on preparing for zero-day attacks. According to the article, titled “What’s a Zero-Day Attack (and How Can You Prepare for One)?”, these types of attacks occur when an attacker finds and exploits a weakness that is unknown to the vendor responsible for patching it. The weakness might be in software, operating systems, browsers, Java logging utilities or anywhere else, and companies have no time (hence the term “zero day”) to fix the problem. Instead, the article notes, a race begins between patch-makers and threat actors looking to exploit the open systems. The article provided helpful tips for defending against a zero-day threat, including keeping the attack surface small, trying to block paths and considering micro-segmentation. The article ended by saying: “A zero day will be a bad day, no doubt, said Brian Haugli, CEO at the cybersecurity and privacy firm SideChannel, but one that can hopefully be contained. ‘Let’s make sure that the entire rest of our company isn’t also compromised,’ Haugli told IT Brew.
