The list was created by, and is maintained by, Cybersecurity Ventures, after research that includes continuously looking at thousands of companies, soliciting feedback from CISOs, IT security practitioners, and service providers, and analyzing hundreds of cybersecurity events and news sources. The 2018 Cybersecurity 500 roster was announced at the Cyber Investing Summit in New York last week.</span></span><span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><br /><span style="background: white;">SecureMySocial offers technology that protects businesses and their employees from the risks of inappropriate social media usage.

It can help companies comply with GDPR, as well as stop offensive posts, data leaks, and the sharing of fake news. SecureMySocial can even auto-delete problematic posts if so authorized. By offering SecureMySocial to employees, businesses may reduce their exposure to data leaks, spear phishing, bad publicity, human resource issues, lawsuits, and regulatory fines.</span></span><span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><br /><span style="background: white;">“CISOs and IT Security professionals at business of all sizes can no longer ignore the fact that criminals are exploiting social media as an attack surface and as a resource from which to gather information to be used in social engineering attacks,” said Steve Morgan, founder and Editor-In-Chief at Cybersecurity Ventures. “SecureMySocial was an early player in the space, and now has a patented, easy-to-use platform that protects enterprises from data leaks, reputational harm, regulatory and legal problems, and other issues that result from employee use – and misuse – of social media. Information security executives should put SecureMySocial on their short list of solutions to look at in this burgeoning category addressing a growing risk,” added Morgan.</span></span></span></div>

In addition to protecting against data leaks, reconnaissance done by criminals for the purpose of crafting spear phishing emails, GDPR and HIPAA violations, and all sorts of other information-security risks, SecureMySocial can also help stop people from sharing fake news, making career-threatening tweets, and posting all sorts of other content that can damage their personal brands and those of their employers.</span></span><span style="line-height: 18.4px;"><span style="background-color: white;">”</span></span></span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Ransomware – that is, computer malware that prevents users from accessing their files until they pay a ransom to some criminal enterprise – has already inflicted billions of dollars in damage and has been detected in the infrastructure of nearly half of all businesses.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Sadly, ransomware still remains a <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">growing</em> threat – one that is likely to become an even bigger danger to innocent people and organizations in 2018. Here are eight reasons why:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Merriweather, serif; line-height: 27.2px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; color: #222222; font-size: 18.4px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">5. People share too much information on social media</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Cybercriminals increasingly scan social media – sometimes with automated tools – to find information that can be used against companies and their employees; attackers then leverage the information that they find to deliver ransomware. For example, they may craft highly-effective spear-phishing emails credible enough to trick employees into clicking on URLs to ransomware-delivering websites or into opening ransomware-infected attachments.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

Over the past few days a viral "survey" type post has been circulating around Facebook in which people share the names of 10 concerts - 9 that they have attended and one that they did not - and their Facebook friends attempt to guess which is the one that they never attended. Eventually, in the comments, the original poster reveals which concert is "the lie."</div>

SecureMySocial, a leading provider of social media security software, is proud
to announce that it has once again been named to the Cybersecurity 500, a
global compilation of the 500 leading companies that provide cybersecurity solutions
and services. In the Q1 2017 report, SecureMySocial moved up to spot 319 on the
list.</b></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><b><br /></b>
</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">The Cybersecurity 500 includes a wide range of prestigious
firms, ranging from the largest and most recognizable brands in the industry,
to venture-backed emerging players, to small startups with potentially
game-changing technologies, to solution providers poised for growth around
productized or vertically focused services. The list is updated and published
quarterly by Cybersecurity Ventures, after research that includes continuously
looking at thousands of companies, soliciting feedback from CISOs, IT security
practitioners, and service providers, and analyzing hundreds of cybersecurity
events and news sources.</span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">SecureMySocial offers technology that protects businesses and
their employees from the risks of inappropriate social media usage. The
patented system warns users of social media in real time if they are making
posts that could harm themselves or their employers, even if such posts are
made from home or from mobile devices. SecureMySocial can also auto-delete
problematic posts if so authorized. By offering SecureMySocial to employees,
businesses may reduce their exposure to data leaks, spear phishing, bad
publicity, human resource issues, lawsuits, and regulatory fines.</span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">“CISOs and IT Security professionals at business of all sizes
can no longer ignore the fact that criminals are exploiting social media as an
attack surface and as a resource from which to gather information to be used in
social engineering attacks,” said Steve Morgan, founder and Editor-In-Chief at
Cybersecurity Ventures. “SecureMySocial was an early player in the space, and
now has a patented, easy-to-use platform that protects enterprises from data
leaks, reputational harm, regulatory and legal problems, and other issues that
result from employee use – and misuse – of social media. Information security
executives should put SecureMySocial on their short list of solutions to look
at in this burgeoning category addressing a growing risk,” added Morgan.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="background: white;">“We are delighted to, once again, be recognized as one on the
leading cybersecurity firms globally,” said Joseph Steinberg, CEO of
SecureMySocial. “SecureMySocial’s patented, game changing technology enables
firms to leverage the true power of social media – including having their
employees serve as de-facto brand ambassadors – while protecting both
businesses and their employees against all sorts of blunders. In addition to
protecting against data leaks, reconnaissance done by criminals for the purpose
of crafting spear phishing emails, and all sorts of other information-security
risks, SecureMySocial can also help stop people from sharing fake news, making
career-threatening tweets, and posting all sorts of other content that can
damage their personal brands and those of their employers.</span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="background-color: white;">”</span></span></span><br />

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #414141; font-family: SourceSansPro, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Fraudsters are using social media more frequently to learn more information about their victims.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #414141; font-family: SourceSansPro, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Do not overshare information," Steinberg said. "Criminals craft effective spear phishing emails by leveraging such information to convince their victims that a message must be legitimate."</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Think about how much technology has improved in the last decade, 50 years, or even century. It is startling. Items that were science fiction just a few years ago seem like outdated, obsolete technology today.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Yet, during this period of great technological advancement, the human brain has not changed: it remains essentially identical today to the way it was several thousand years ago. The human-technology dichotomy does not go unnoticed by criminals: Because cybersecurity technologies are rapidly strengthening, whenever possible, parties trying to breach information systems increasingly seek to exploit human weaknesses, rather than carry out strictly technological attacks.</div>

On both a personal and professional level, therefore, it is essential for people to understand the human element of cybersecurity.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333;">"2017 will bring more of the same problems that we saw in 2016, because this past year's attacks delivered great results for hackers. Last year, I predicted that in 2016 "criminals, nations, and anyone else seeking to hack will continue to exploit social engineering as a primary means of digital 'breaking and entering'" - why would anyone stop doing so when that is exactly how, according to the CIA, FBI, and NSA, Russia breached the DNC? Why would anyone stop using techniques that work so well? As part of the social engineering trend, we will continue to see oversharing on social media leading to spear phishing leading to breaches - hopefully, businesses understand this risk well enough to take proactive action. Likewise, Internet of Things (IoT) security - which clearly became an undeniable problem with Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks this past year - will continue to be a big issue; with so many people buying cheap, insecure devices, there will ultimately be a price to pay. On another note, women continue to make growing inroads in the cybersecurity profession - hopefully this trend will continue. We still have a long way to go." - </span><span style="color: #333333;">Shira Rubinoff, President of SecureMySocial</span></span></div>
