The European Union’s Network and Information Systems Directive 2 (NIS2) is a big deal for improving the EU’s cybersecurity stance. Kicked off in January 2023—with a compliance deadline of October 18, 2024—the Directive is designed to beef up cyber defences across key sectors.

In recent years, there's only been a handful of data breaches within public companies that could be considered financially "material." These breaches include those often pointed to as examples in cybersecurity presentations: the 2013 Target breach, the 2017 Equifax breach, the 2019 Capital One breach, and most recently, the Colonial Pipeline incident.

Researchers discover a new version of the Tycoon 2FA AiTM kit, a phishing attack disguises keylogger as bank payment notice, and TheMoon malware targets ASUS routers.

Threat hunting is a massive commitment of time, resources, team members, and technology. Any investment that impactful would normally be one that was carefully measured to ensure it was driving sufficient value for the team. The thing is, there’s no established benchmark of “success” in threat hunting.

Trustwave was named a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Cybersecurity Consulting Services 2024 Vendor Assessment (doc # US50463223, March 2024). The report noted “The acquisition by MC2 Security Fund — the private equity fund of internationally recognized security advisory firm The Chertoff Group — successfully closed in January 2024.

In any organization, unrestricted access to systems and resources poses significant security risks. Recent cybersecurity events have shown that attackers will target any organization of any size. The most common attack vector is through unauthorized access to a legitimate account, often preceded by a phishing technique. To protect against unauthorized access, it's essential to establish rules and policies for authenticating and authorizing users.

APIs are foundational to modular application development. They support an organization’s internal services as well as provide a mechanism for customers to access certain services or datasets for their own applications. Because of the role that both internal and public-facing APIs play in applications, they are considered one of the top targets for threat actors.

One of the critical challenges for organizations today is securing their data. Organizations must incur the cost associated with proper design, development, and maintenance of systems and their appropriate safeguarding and monitoring. One way to reduce and optimize these costs is to choose tools that operate in a Software-as-a-Service model. Choosing tools in such a model helps shift some of the responsibilities and costs to the vendor.

According to Cybersecurity Ventures, the cost of cybercrime is expected to surge by 15 percent annually over the next five years, soaring to a staggering $10.5 trillion annually by 2025, up from $3 trillion in 2015. This exponential growth underscores the urgent need for a comprehensive understanding and proactive defense against the myriad of cyber threats looming on the horizon.

Get Free Mobile Application Penetration Testing Checklist Even though iOS and Android come with robust security features, like secure data storage and communication APIs, they only work well if they’re set up right. That’s why thorough mobile app penetration testing is vital—to ensure these features are correctly integrated and protect your data effectively.
