Most small and midsized businesses trust an IT services partner to help them secure their networks. A few years ago, high-profile cyberattacks targeting MSP vendors Kaseya and SolarWinds thrust the security risk of relying on a complex chain of vendors into the technology media and moved the Department of Homeland Security to issue a statement about the need for greater security in the IT services industry.

The question “What is cybercrime?” is more critical today than ever. Advancements in tech, oversharing on social media, and even the latest AI innovations have significantly increased the risk of cyberattacks. Just look at the statistics. Ransomware attacks grew by 92.7% in 2021 compared to 2020. As internet connectivity and usage grow globally, cybercriminals are becoming more brazen in targeting unsuspecting victims.

Voice authentication is a biometric security method that verifies individuals based on their unique vocal characteristics. It has become increasingly popular in various applications, ranging from phone banking to smart home devices. However, the rise of deepfake technology poses a significant threat to the integrity of voice authentication systems. Deepfakes are highly realistic artificial audio clips that can be used to impersonate someone else’s voice.

2,200 cyberattacks occur daily, with an average of 39 attacks every second. As we come up with new strategies to keep our network secured, hackers never fail to figure out the loopholes and hijack our devices.

Amid potential concerns by governments, customers, and prospects about ties with the Russian government, the cybersecurity vendor Group-IB continues in its promise to separate itself from Russia. You can understand how an organization may look at a Russia-based company these days; it’s not the fault of the Russian company, but of the negative posture many feel towards the Russian government.

New rules requiring publicly-listed firms to disclose serious cybersecurity incidents within four days have been adopted by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The tough new rules, although undoubtedly well-intentioned, are likely to leave some firms angry that they are being "micromanaged" and - it is argued - could even assist attackers.

Backdoor attacks are on the rise. In 2022, this relatively little known cyberattack vector overtook ransomware as the top action deployed by cybercriminals. According to the IBM Security X-Force Threat Intelligence Index 2023, nearly a quarter of cyber incidents involved backdoor attacks. But what is a backdoor attack and how can you protect your organization from becoming a victim? Let’s explore this stealthy threat.

There is an old saying: “One person’s tool is another person’s weapon.” That is certainly true of Windows PowerShell. Included with every Windows operating system today, this powerful command-line shell and scripting language is used by IT professionals for system administration, remote management, cybersecurity, software development and more.

Machine learning (ML) is a subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which enables machines and software to automatically learn from historical data to generate accurate output without being programmed to do so. Many leading organizations today have incorporated machine learning into their daily processes for business intelligence. But the ability of machine learning can be altered by threat actors to be malicious, causing systems to malfunction, or to execute an attack.
