Data leaks are a growing concern for organizations due to the rising volume of sensitive information stored digitally. Leaks occur when sensitive data is inadvertently exposed, and they can easily lead to cyber attacks, reputational damage, and enormous financial costs. The best way to protect against them is to stop them from occurring in the first place. In this blog, we’ll delve into the common causes of leaks and best practices to bolster data security and prevent data leaks effectively. ‍

Researchers at Malwarebytes warn that a malvertising campaign is targeting Mac users with phony Microsoft Teams ads. The ads are meant to trick users into installing Atomic Stealer, a commodity strain of malware designed to steal information from macOS systems.

Python static analysis, also known as "linting", is a crucial aspect of software development. It involves inspecting your Python code without running it to identify potential bugs, programming errors, stylistic issues, or non-adhering patterns to predefined coding standards. It also helps identify vulnerabilities early in the development process, reducing the chances of deploying insecure code into production.

In today’s cloud-based work environments, it’s all too easy for assets with sensitive data like PII, PCI, PHI, secrets, and intellectual property (IP) to be sprawled across the enterprise tech stack. With the skyrocketing costs of data breaches, one sprawled secret can cost organizations an average of $4.45 million. This is where Data Leak Prevention (DLP) solutions come in to limit secret sprawl, prevent data leaks, and ensure continuous compliance with leading standards.

Security and IT professionals know that keeping a business secure is no easy task.

No matter what information is being transmitted online, whether you send files, text messages, or upload files to back up in the cloud, the only way to guarantee secure data transmission is by using encrypted services. Encrypted cloud storage is the best method to store your files securely. However, not all cloud services offer the same levels of encryption, resulting in a less private storage method.

When we launched cases in early 2023, we saw how teams combined automation with their established processes to respond to known threats. And we realized we were missing a place for security teams to address those new or unknown threats. Enter cases, our solution to case management. Over the past year, our cases feature has become a place where teams can collaborate, track, and report on new and existing workflows.

In the world of cybersecurity, AI-powered threats are creating new challenges for organizations.

Technology can serve as a double-edged sword for women grappling with domestic abuse: while it has the potential to save lives, it also has the capacity to lay bare one's most intimate vulnerabilities. One such harrowing story comes from a survivor (which we will call Bridget to protect her anonymity), who faced a nightmare of cyberstalking, intimate image abuse (colloquially known as revenge porn), and relentless online harassment that lasted for years.
