Recent Security News

Jigsaw Security monitors Press Releases for Intelligence Value - Jigsaw Security has added a module to our Jigsaw Analytic Platform to monitor common press release sites for information that may provide additional resources and information on our customers and clients. In addition we have added a corporate corruption dataset in our platform.

SCADA Highly Insecure - It should be noted that SCADA networks are highly insecure, namely because these control devices have been deployed for years and usually are not patched after deployment. That being said Jigsaw Security has added a new full text search product to search by product and provide insight into SCADA vulnerabilities as well as full text of ICS-ISAC data so security personnel can track new issues in near real time. This should allow Jigsaw customers to scan all text content and alerts in this space.

Tesla Sues Former Employee for Corporate Espionage - After an email alert on Sunday evening by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the company has filed suit against a former employee. You can read the court filing here. Jigsaw Security believes that Tesla could benefit from our JTMM that would uncover not only this type of activity but additional threats not in the cyber security realm.
