 Before jumping into the USB memory security recommendations, some background is in order…
News Report: “According to a straw poll carried out at InfoSecurity Europe, 90% of the 12,000 attendees routinely carried portable storage devices. The survey also showed that 80 per cent of visitors believed their company had lost valuable confidential data through the use of these devices.” And, that’s just from losing a device. Malicious USB memory sticks do much more damage. They can inject debilitating or ransomeware viruses, steal keystrokes, and more. Some are actually audio and video eavesdropping devices.

What You Need to Know About Cryptocurrency Crime Webinar - Register Now
IAPSC
 Tuesday, March 30, 2021 | 1 - 2 PM (EST)
Presented by Brent Barker
The pandemic has accelerated the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies - they are growing in use and value. Bitcoin recently hit a new high of over $55,000, but Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies are also being used in a growing variety of crimes. They are being stolen, used as payments for crime, used for money laundering, and used by counties to avoid international sanctions.
Even as authorities are learning how to investigate cryptocurrency crimes and track cryptocurrency ownership, new harder-to-track forms of cryptocurrencies are being created. This webinar will examine how criminals are stealing and using cryptocurrencies, along with law enforcement efforts to stop them.
This webinar has been approved for 1 CSC credit hour through IAPSC and 1 CPE credit hour through ASIS.

Actionable Tips For Engaging the Board On Cybersecurity
Dark Reading
There's never been a tougher time to be a chief information security officer (CISO). Since the onset of COVID-19 in March 2020, cyberattacks are up by 92%, and the average data breach now costs $3.86 million, according to IBM and the Ponemon Institute. Still, many CISOs find themselves struggling to engage their board members on cybersecurity priorities.

This Chart Shows the Connections Between Cybercrime Groups
ZDNet
Cybersecurity reports often talk about threat actors and their malware/hacking operations as self-standing events, but, in reality, the cybercrime ecosystem is much smaller and far more interconnected than the layperson might realize.
Cybercrime groups often have complex supply chains, like real software companies, and they regularly develop relationships within the rest of the e-crime ecosystem to acquire access to essential technology that enables their operations or maximizes their profits.
