Welcome to the Leading from Within series. Here, we showcase leaders from within Morphisec as we discuss emerging topics and trends dear to the cybersecurity community. From ransomware variants to phishing scams, from attacks on healthcare institutions to the downsides of digitizing your workforce--we’ve got you covered. We hope this series provides valuable information as you secure your cloud-based, as well as tangible, assets. 

Organizations in every industry and at every level of government face more cyberattacks each day. According to Ponemon Institute’s recent research, 68 percent of organizations note an increased frequency of attacks against their endpoints. Often, these threats are zero days, fileless attacks, in-memory exploits, and evasive malware designed to circumvent antivirus and endpoint detection and response solutions.

For the second year in a row, Morphisec has awarded three scholarships to top female students pursuing cybersecurity degrees around the world. The latest numbers still place women’s employment in the cybersecurity industry at only 24%, but the dedication and talent of the more than 400 applications that poured in from the United States, Europe and Israel are a testament to womens’ determination to change this statistic.

Despite enormous investments in cybersecurity by their financial service providers, customers still feel that they are not doing enough to protect their financial assets and data. That was just one of the findings of Morphisec's new 2019 Consumer Finance Cybersecurity Threat Index.

When looking at cyber defense best practices and models, one driving question, which also keeps CISOs up at night, is this:

What's the best way to orchestrate security telemetry and processes so that SOC operators and security teams can prevent more threats and scale threat response as a formidable force multiplier against the onslaught of unknown attacks and exploits?

If it’s April, it’s award season, and Morphisec just took home several official, plus some unofficial awards, including the BEST MIDMARKET SOFTWARE SOLUTION AWARD. At the MIDMRKT CIO Forum, Morphisec won the top Vendor Excellence award for Best Software Solution. These awards recognize leading solution providers for their collaboration, strategic influence, and technical innovation across the midmarket.

Despite HIPAA regulations designed to keep them informed on the security of their personal health data, patients still seem to be in the dark. That was just one of the findings of Morphisec's new 2019 Consumer Healthcare Cybersecurity Threat Index.

On April 8th, Morphisec's CTF (Capture The Flag) Competition will host 45 hand-picked finalists in Beer Sheva’s Gav Yam Negev Advanced Technologies Park.

On the heels of RSA 2019 and International Women’s Day, I am proud to announce Morphisec’s second annual Women in Cybersecurity Scholarship. This year’s scholarship program offers three awards totaling $8,000 aimed at encouraging women studying cybersecurity and related STEM disciplinesto choose a career in cyber and make a dent in the abysmally low female employment rate in the industry.

You may have noticed something different about the Morphisec website. If so, thank you. That means you are helping Morphisec continue to climb in the Google ranks :).

But seriously, we have redesigned the new site, not just to look better (although we hope you find it as appealing as we do), or to reflect our brand better
