It’s July again, and all around the northern hemisphere people’s thoughts are starting to drift away from work and toward summer vacation. But here at Catalogic, the great millwheel of software innovation never stops turning!

SenseOn is delighted to have achieved over 98.7% detection rate in the Malware Protection Test and 0 false positive alerts in the Real-World Protection Test, reveals the latest AV-Comparatives Business Security Report. Such a high protection rate can help provide security professionals with reassurance and peace of mind in their endpoint protection capabilities, and help to reduce their organisation’s risk exposure, optimise their internal resources and enhance their incident response playbooks.

New data shows that only 3 percent of organizations are solely relying on their current cyber defenses when adding on cyber insurance, indicating that organizations are beginning to understand the true value and place of a cyber insurance policy. For the last few years, it felt like organizations were seeing cyber insurance like they do their car insurance; have an “accident” and let the policy cover it.

Phishing remains a top initial access vector for ransomware actors, according to researchers at Cisco Talos. The threat actors often use phishing to steal legitimate credentials so they can use employee accounts without raising suspicion.

As organizations continue to digitize and passwords proliferate across systems, applications, and even assets, identity and access management (IAM) has become a pillar of cybersecurity. One component of IAM has become ubiquitous with access security: multi-factor authentication (MFA). MFA is an access control technique that adds a layer of security to user logins and access by making the user verify their identity.

The high-profile case of hiQ Labs Inc vs LinkedIn Corporation (that took place in the US) shed light on the much-discussed data scraping legal issues. We know you don’t want to get lost in legalese. So, we have prepared an easy-to-read summary of the most important points of this decision. The court sided with the scraper and established that scraping public data is not a violation of the CFAA (Computer Fraud and Abuse Act).

Of course, everyone wants to dominate the SERPs. It’s a no-brainer! Want to know one of my favorite ways to achieve better rankings? Yup, web scraping! Web scraping is particularly useful for SEO; not only is it very cheap, but it allows you to access hyper-specific data that sometimes is not even visible through SEMRush’s or Ahrefs’ databases. Keep in mind anyone can disallow these two bots (and any bot actually) via their robots.txt.

Managing dependencies isn’t always easy, but it’s critical for protecting your code. In this guide, we’ll explore what dependencies are and how they can be checked for known vulnerabilities, compatibility, licensing requirements, and more. We’ll then learn that dependency checks should be part of a dependency management strategy to keep applications up to date and reduce security risks and technical debt.

Encryption is a fundamental procedure in cybersecurity that transforms data into a coded format, making it inaccessible to unauthorized users. It has evolved significantly from simple ciphers in ancient times to complex algorithms like AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman), which are used today. Encryption ensures data confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity, which is crucial in protecting sensitive information across various domains.
