Cybersecurity Roundup: Bitglass, Kaspersky, Cisco-Jask, Microsoft-AttackIQ

More than one-fifth of respondents in North America admitted they were not aware of their workplace’s cybersecurity policy. When breaking down the results by region, just over one-third of respondents in the U.S. and just over one-quarter of respondents in Canada said they were aware of the cybersecurity policy at their workplace, but have only reviewed it once.
The survey also showed there is a dramatic need and desire from employees for increased cybersecurity training in their organizations.
Rob Cataldo, Kasperky‘s vice president of U.S. enterprise sales, tells us while this does pose serious concerns for patient health information and the safety of the health care industry at large, “we see this as an opportunity for MSSPs and other security partners to leverage these findings to work more closely with health care organizations like hospitals, private practices [and so on] to heighten cybersecurity measures, and ultimately keep their patients and businesses safe from potential cyberthreats.”
“As is the case with all jobs, training continues to be the most important part of making sure employees are conducting their jobs without posing a risk to the company, themselves or to the customers/patients they serve,” he said. “Cybersecurity providers should educate their health care customers to realize that the human element is the most probable risk to unraveling a robust security strategy. They need to help their customers empower their employees to create a culture of cybersecurity vigilance in order to keep their patients and organization safe with regular, ongoing cybersecurity trainings specific to a variety of roles. This will allow employees to better understand exactly how cyberattacks can affect them day to day, and, more importantly, procedures to take should they find something suspicious.”
Jask Integrates with Cisco Security Portfolio
Cybersecurity startup Jask has joined the Cisco Security Technical Alliance (CSTA) partner ecosystem, a group of security providers that facilitates open, multivendor product integrations designed to improve security effectiveness through automation and operational simplicity.
Through the partnership, the companies have integrated Jask’s cloud-native security information and event management (SIEM) platform with several Cisco products, including its Cisco ASA next-generation firewalls, Cisco Advanced Malware Protection for Endpoints (AMP4EP) and Cisco Umbrella cloud security services.
In addition, by combining JASK Autonomous Security Operations Center (ASOC) with Cisco’s product portfolio, joint customers get context into how hackers are targeting them and can more quickly respond to, and mitigate, advanced attacks.
Oren Arar, Jask’s senior director of business development, tells us his company’s ability to integrate with different Cisco tools as out-of-the-box integrations is critical as it requires no additional effort by the customer or the partner.
“We are definitely interested in doing more business with channel partners and MSSPs that …
