Cyber risk is calculated by considering the identified security threat, its degree of vulnerability, and the likelihood of exploitation. At a high level, this can be quantified as follows:
Cyber risk = Threat x Vulnerability x Information Value
In the newly revised How to Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk, Second Edition, a pioneering information security professional and a leader in quantitative analysis methods delivers yet another eye-opening text applying the quantitative language of risk analysis to cybersecurity. In the book, the authors demonstrate how to quantify uncertainty and shed light on how to measure seemingly intangible goals. It's a practical guide to improving risk assessment with a straightforward and simple framework.

No Network Access
Sandboxes don't have network access, so if a malicious document can compromise one, it can't phone home
Optional OCR
Dangerzone can optionally OCR the safe PDFs it creates, so it will have a text layer again
Reduced File Size
Dangerzone compresses the safe PDF to reduce file size
Open Docs Safely
After converting, Dangerzone lets you open the safe PDF in the PDF viewer of your choice, which allows you to open PDFs and office docs in Dangerzone by default so you never accidentally open a dangerous document
HOW IT WORKS
Dangerzone works like this: You give it a document that you don't know if you can trust (for example, an email attachment). Inside of a sandbox, Dangerzone converts the document to a PDF (if it isn't already one), and then converts the PDF into raw pixel data: a huge list of of RGB color values for each page. Then, in a separate sandbox, Dangerzone takes this pixel data and converts it back into a PDF.

2023 Data Breach Investigations Report:
Hello, and welcome first-time readers! Before you get started on the 2023 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), it might be a good idea to take a look at this section first. (For those of you who are familiar with the report, please feel free to jump over to the introduction.) We have been doing this report for a while now, and we appreciate that the verbiage we use can be a bit obtuse at times. We use very deliberate naming conventions, terms and definitions and spend a lot of time making sure we are consistent throughout the report. Hopefully this section will help make all of those more familia
Breaking the string of end-of-year InfoSec milestones set in 2020 with SolarWinds Orion and in 2021
by Log4j, December 2022 was comparatively boring. Intelligence indicated several threat actors were abusing Microsoft developer accounts to get malicious drivers signed through their profiles to be used
in cyberattacks, including ransomware incidents and SIM swapping operations. The streak of months with attacks exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities was extended with reports of successful attacks on Microsoft, Apple, Fortinet and Citrix products. OWASSRF is a new attack chain exploiting on-premises Exchange Servers using the URL rewrite mitigations provided by Microsoft responding to September’s ProxyNotShell attack chain. The Play ransomware threat actors had exploited OWASSRF to attack at least eight victims. Among the best intelligence collections was a virtual order of battle of TA subordinate to Bureau 121 in the Reconnaissance General Bureau (RGB), North Korea’s military intelligence agency.
Special thanks to Dave Kennedy of the Verizon Threat Research Advisory Center (VTRAC) for his continued support and yearly contribution to this report.
