Cyber Attacks are Rampant: Here’s
What ISPs Can Do to Stop Them

By: Jason Malmquist

Cyberattacks are increasingly more sophisticated and frequent, and they are posing significant threats to Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The critical infrastructure managed by ISPs makes them prime targets for cybercriminals seeking to disrupt services, steal sensitive data, or extort money through ransomware attacks. In the first six months of 2023 alone, $449.1 million was paid to ransomware groups. The bottom line is that cyberattacks are having a profound impact on business. Unfortunately, regional telcos and ISPs often have limited resources or the requisite IT staff to combat this scourge, and cybercriminals know it, which explains why they attack the low hanging fruit easily…

Shifting the Balance: Rethinking Cybersecurity
in the Age of AI and Quantum Computing

By: Mark Pohto - CTO, Dispersive Holdings Inc.

The quickly accelerating pace of technological advancement brings both unparalleled opportunities and unprecedented threats. Emerging technologies like generative AI and quantum computing have the potential to revolutionize industries, but they also present grave challenges for cybersecurity. In this digital landscape, where threats evolve faster than many defenses can keep up, traditional passive approaches are no longer enough. Organizations must adopt a proactive, multi-layered defense strategy to address new threats head-on, leveraging cutting-edge innovations like Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD) and Active Cyber Defense (ACD)…

SATCOM + 5G: Resilient Communications
Services to Save Lives in Disaster Zones

By: Anil Rao

Terrestrial networks are often destroyed or severely damaged during natural disasters, or the disaster location is so remote that the connectivity simply doesn’t exist in the neighborhood. Consequently, the first responders and rescue agencies that put boots on the ground are severely restricted in their ability to perform their duties and save lives. In such situations, SATCOM has been the preferred choice for critical comms but has traditionally required expensive specialist equipment with limited features, making it prohibitive for widespread use…
