Harmony secures both corporate and BYOD devices, and internet connec- tions from known and zero-day attacks, while giving Zero-Trust access to business applications in a single, easy to manage solution. Citrix Systems has announced the availability of new well-being capabilities within Citrix Workspace that companies can use to help employees better manage the pressures and com- plexities of the workday so they can be and do their best. “Traditionally, companies have focused on the physical well-being of their employees and viewed the other aspects as a bit taboo. But the pandemic has changed this,” said Donna Kimmel, Executive Vice Pres- ident and Chief People Officer, Citrix. “Companies are now having more holistic conversations that cover the mental, spiritual, and emotional as- new Harmony Browse uniquely provides secure, fast and private web browsing by inspecting all SSL traffic directly on the endpoint without adding latency or re-routing traffic through a secure web service. • Secure remote access from any device, anywhere: Harmony Connect securely connects any user or branch to any resource, supporting client- less Zero Trust Network Access from any browser. • Protects users’ email and productivity apps: Harmony Email & Office secures users’ email clients and, gives complete protection for Microsoft Office 365, Exchange, Google G Suite and more. • Total endpoint and device security: Harmony Endpoint protects users’ PCs from ransomware, phishing, and malware, and minimizes breach impact with autonomous detection and response capability.

The expanded CSPM and CWP capabilities for the CrowdStrike Fal- con platform identify and remediate vulnerabilities from development to production for a wide variety of cloud environments, including containers.

As a result, we see that the total number of DDoS attacks in Q4 remained quite stable. And we can predict that this trend will continue in 2021,” said Alexey Kiselev, Business Development Manager on the Kaspersky DDoS Protection team. To stay protected against DDoS attacks, Kaspersky experts offer the following recommendations: • Maintain web resource operations by assigning specialists who understand how to respond to DDoS attacks • Validate third-party agreements and contact information, including those made with internet service providers. This helps teams quickly access agreements in case of an attack Kaspersky: DDoS Attacks in Q4 2020 Dropped by a Third Compared to Q3 • Implement professional solutions to safeguard your organization against DDoS attacks. For example, Kaspersky DDoS Protec- tion combines Kaspersky’s extensive expertise in combating cyberthreats and the company’s unique in-house developments The number of DDoS attacks detected by Kaspersky DDoS Prevention in Q4 2020 is 31% less compared to Q3 2020. This drop can be connected to the growing interest in cryptocurrency mining, said Kaspersky. us a unique vantage point in supporting organizations’ shift to cloud-native architectures and their adoption of development and IT operations (DevOps). The new capabilities secure development and deployment of applications in the cloud with greater speed, efficiency and confidence.” The new Falcon Horizon CSPM capabilities include cloud-native security posture management for multi-cloud environments, monitoring cloud identities for least privileges and ensuring continuous compliance. The new Falcon Cloud Workload protection capabilities include broad support for container runtime security, identifing security threats prior to running containers in production, stopping threats when containers are most vulnerable, during runtime and uncovering hidden threats. As people began to spend more time online in 2020, it resulted in a boom of DDoS attacks. And in the fourth quar- ter, attacks on educational institutions continued globally. Online gaming services also suffered DDoS attacks. However, in Q4 2020 there were only 10% more attacks than in Q4 2019. And compared to Q3 2020, the number of attacks in Q4 2020 fell by 31%, while Q3 2020 also saw a drop compared to Q2. Experts suggest that this can be caused by a surge in cryptocurrency costs. As a result, cybercriminals may have had to ‘re-profile’ some botnets so that C&C servers, that are typically used in DDoS attacks, could repurpose infected devices and use their computing power to mine cryptocurrencies instead. This is further proved by KSN statistics. Throughout 2019, as well as in the be- ginning of 2020, the number of cryp- tominers was dropping. However, from August 2020 the trend changed, with the amount of this form of malware increasing slightly and reaching a plateau in Q4. “The DDoS attack market is currently affected by two opposite trends. On the one hand, people still highly rely on stable work of online resources, which can make DDoS attacks a common choice for malefactors. However, with Amol Kulkarni, CrowdStrike The new capabilities secure development and deployment of applications in the cloud with greater speed, efficiency and confidence.” Maintain web resource operations by assigning specialists who understand how to respond to DDoS attacks.
