Consider a modern software application as a constellation of cities that dot the landscape. These cities are components such as databases, authentication services, business logic engines, and more. Requests travel between components carrying data just as citizens travel between cities carrying their belongings. The highways that connect the cities on this map are your APIs. Cities get the most attention, often receiving the security and protection they need.

In their capacity as a regulator, the Portuguese National Cybersecurity Centre (CNCS) is at the forefront of adapting to NIS2 requirements and ensuring that entities under their purview are compliant. They provide strategic oversight and support for organisations navigating the complexities of the new directive, which introduces stricter standards for risk management, incident response, and supply chain security.

Penetration testing, dynamic application security testing (DAST), and attack surface management (ASM) are all strategies designed to manage an organization’s digital attack surface. However, while each aids in identifying and closing vulnerabilities, they have significant differences and play complementary roles within a corporate cybersecurity strategy. Let’s take a quick look at the definition of each of these strategies.

Chrome and Mozilla announced that they will stop trusting Entrust’s public TLS certificates issued after November 12, 2024 and December 1, 2024, respectively. This decision stems from concerns related to Entrust’s ability to meet the CA/Browser Forum’s requirements for a publicly trusted certificate authority (CA).

The “Zero-Day” term highlights the critical nature of the threat, as the system remains exposed until the vulnerability is addressed. Attackers aim to exploit this gap before a fix can be implemented. Below are some terms to clarify.

Foundationally, the OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Model (LLMs) applications was designed to educate software developers, security architects, and other hands-on practitioners about how to harden LLM security and implement more secure AI workloads. The framework specifies the potential security risks associated with deploying and managing LLM applications by explicitly naming the most critical vulnerabilities seen in LLMs thus far and how to mitigate them.

As budget cycles increasingly force teams to tighten their belts, proving the value of vital technology is key. It’s not enough to showcase how the security operations center (SOC) is improving security posture and defending against threats, you also need to highlight how this boosts ROI. As highlighted in an IDC webinar and white paper, organizations using Sumo Logic have experienced an exceptional return on investment and a rapid payback period.

Like the speed of light, phishing remains a reliable constant in the cybercrime universe, never going out of fashion with fraudsters, always reinventing itself to stay relevant. As part of that reinvention, phishing-related scams increasingly use search engine optimization (SEO) to drive malicious websites higher in search results, outranking legitimate sites whose brands they often impersonate.

In an era where cyber threats are constantly evolving, protecting your identity and data from unauthorized access is more critical than ever.

Some examples of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) include your phone number, email address, license plate number, birth date, Social Security number (SSN) and medical records. Many aspects of your identity can be considered PII, so it’s important to understand what they are and how to protect them. Continue reading to learn how you can protect your PII from falling into the wrong hands and how Keeper can help.
