The cybersecurity industry has been approaching threats backward. I sat down with .Benny .Czarny, founder and CEO of OPSWAT and author of the USA Today bestseller Cybersecurity Upside Down, to discuss why he believes detection is already too late, why we should assume every file is potentially malicious, and how AI is changing the game for both attackers and defenders. His philosophy: prevention first. Want to learn more? Comment “UPSIDE DOWN” below. 👇 #Cybersecurity #CybersecurityUpsideDown #DigitalSecurity #AI #OPSWAT

Advanced malware doesn’t always execute in a sandbox. It waits, checks the environment, and walks away clean. At the perimeter, that puts more pressure on how government networks analyze unknown threats. See where instruction-level emulation changes the equation: https://bit.ly/4h2ZPSg

Interconnected oil and gas sites need tighter boundaries around what can move between them. A major European operator introduced stronger enforcement around critical OT assets to contain threats locally and maintain control across industrial communications. Discover how: https://bit.ly/3T8dHBc

54 of nearly 90 documented EDR killer tools use BYOVD to disable endpoint defenses before ransomware runs. Analyzing suspicious files before they reach the endpoint preserves a verdict when host-based controls are blinded. See how MetaDefender Aether brings that protection forward: https://bit.ly/4cP1et7

Malware does not come in one predictable form. Hapool Insurance strengthened its defenses by putting multiple layers of file security between incoming content and its users. Find out what that approach changed: https://bit.ly/3RBMI0A

Detection should not be the moment security starts working. From #BHUSA, Founder and CEO .Benny .Czarny joined SiliconANGLE & theCUBE to challenge the detection-first model with a prevention-first approach built around file regeneration. See why that shift matters: https://bit.ly/4gnD6jI

Legacy processes can become a security problem and an operational one. Dounreay updated how removable media is handled across its nuclear environment, creating a more controlled approach that fits the way teams work today. Read how: https://bit.ly/4pRn4S8

Different files call for different paths to a verdict. With five layers of evidence, MetaDefender Aether brings greater clarity to each decision while reserving deeper investigation for the files that genuinely require it. Explore how: https://bit.ly/4gl0nmd

Public service moves fast. File security has to keep up. With roughly 30,000 files moving through separated networks each day, Fuji City modernized file sanitization to support more file types without compromising usability. Discover what changed: https://bit.ly/4wL8HBx
