Energy giant Baker Hughes built its Global Intelligence & Travel Security Operations Center from the ground up, proving its value and relevancy to the greater enterprise amidst a global pandemic.
Supporting a goal of empowering regional teams to make the most informed decisions is Baker Hughes’s Global Intelligence & Travel Security Operations Center (GITSOC). When Baker Hughes separated from GE’s oil and gas division in 2019, the event presented a unique opportunity for the Security team to create its own operating model and processes from the ground up to support the organization independently, providing the catalyst for the creation of the GITSOC.

As lawmakers and law enforcement continue to unravel the events and impact of the crisis at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, January 6th, attention is turning to identification and prosecution of those that illegally entered, attacked, and looted the Capitol and the offices of the legislature housed there. We’re learning more about the litany of security failings and it is imperative that we take the lessons offered by this example and make the changes they demand now, at our state capitol buildings, as well as in our businesses.

Barring winning a major lottery or inheritance, during a 40+ year working life in the security profession, security leaders will likely make a dozen or more job changes. While some of these may be significant responsibility shifts within a single organization, in today’s environment it is likely that a person will be changing organizations and even the type and/or responsibilities of various roles. One of those changes may include self-employment. Here’s what you need to know to ponder the transition.

In this article, we discuss how two-factor authentication has been evolved to address the shortcoming of single authentication systems. We also discuss how we can utilize a blockchain technology to transform 2FA by migrating the centralized network into a decentralized blockchain network. As more Internet-of-Things devices require authentication credentials and users increase their repository of usernames and passwords for accessing web services, the emergence of 2FA solutions based on blockchain technology is inevitable.
Every organization has hundreds of applications and databases, and its employees access them every day using their credentials (that is, their username and password). An attacker with such valid credentials can bypass existing security solutions, as they look like a legitimate user. As per the Verizon Data Breach report in 2016, more than 63% of successful breaches involved compromised credentials. Two-factor authentication (2FA) provides an added layer to the existing credential-based system protection as a solution to this drastically growing problem. As such, in this article, we will cover the following two topics: What is 2FA and Blockchain for 2FA.
The cybersecurity industry has embraced MITRE ATT&CK for good reason: it provides security leaders and practitioners an objective, third-party standard with which to evaluate their own detection coverage and EDR solutions.
