U.S. cities have stepped up security measures in the wake of the deadly bombings in Brussels, although Department of Homeland Security officials said no credible threats have been detected against U.S. targets. Airports and transit systems around the country were placed on heightened alert because of concerns about possible copycat attacks. Some cities added extra bomb-sniffing dogs and foot patrols to major transit hubs and airport terminals.

The Homeland Security Department formally began sharing details of new digital threats with private business and other government agencies, a culmination of a longtime effort to improve cybersecurity.
"This is the 'if you see something, say something' of cybersecurity," said Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson at the agency's Virginia-based data sharing hub, the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center.
A federal law passed at the end of 2015 was intended to encourage corporations to share information about cyberthreats, making it harder for businesses to be targeted by threats used elsewhere.

If cybersecurity were judged by newspaper headlines alone, we would have to conclude that retail was the number one vertical being targeted. However, according to the latest Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, U.S. government agencies ranging from the Army to the IRS receive the most attacks (more than 70 breach incidents per day). Even the financial services industry accounts for approximately twice as many data breach incidents as retail. Yet retail is the most newsworthy because that is where consumers spend their money, often in the form of credit/debit payment.

Major League Baseball's spring training will wrap up in a matter of weeks, and baseball stadiums everywhere are getting ready for opening day — you might even be able to smell the peanuts already. But when it comes to your sensitive data security, do you know who’s on first? More importantly, do you know who's stealing home — and potentially stealing your sensitive data, too?
Unfortunately, most organizations don't have this much awareness of or control over insiders accessing sensitive data. Sometimes they have no awareness of who has access to sensitive data. This is particularly problematic and risky when it comes to privileged users, who have access to everything important.

Despite the inherent insecurities of the cybersecurity industry, a new report from Barkly, an endpoint security company, reveals that the biggest issue IT security teams have to face with current security solutions is that they slow down the system.
When asked about the options of productivity vs security and the potential downfalls of security solutions, 41 percent of respondents said that they were dissatisfied with their current solution, not because it failed to deliver security, but because it slows down their system.
