I’m thrilled to announce CrowdStrike’s agreement to acquire Flow Security, a pioneer in data security posture management (DSPM) and the industry’s first and only cloud data runtime security solution. With this acquisition, CrowdStrike is setting the standard for modern cloud security with complete real-time data protection spanning endpoint and cloud environments, delivering the only cloud data protection platform that secures data both at rest and in motion.

Securing AI is a top cybersecurity priority and concern for governments and businesses alike. Developers have easy access to pre-trained AI models through platforms like Hugging Face and to AI-generated functions and programs through large language models (LLMs) like GitHub Co-Pilot. This access has spurred developers to create innovative software at an enormously fast pace.

Azure customers are facing the biggest threat to their privileged accounts. A cybersecurity firm has identified the spread of a new phishing campaign aimed at privileged users like sales directors, account managers, finance managers, vice presidents, presidents, chief financial officers, and CEOs. The campaign’s first set of attacks started around November 2023 and is still a looming threat. The good thing is that you can safeguard against and mitigate this attack.

The past few years have been hard on cybersecurity professionals. An onslaught of new attack innovations and evolutions have raised the risk — and the costs — of an attack. More organizations than ever before are attempting to transfer a portion of that risk through cyber insurance. However, cyber insurance policies, once easy to get and robust in coverage, have become challenging to obtain, difficult to maintain, and costly to keep.

Comprehending and effectively addressing cybersecurity threats is paramount to organizational security. As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, how companies respond to cybersecurity threats and how they take proactive steps to mitigate them will factor heavily into profitability, reputation and long-term success.

Modern software development techniques are creating flaws faster than they can be fixed. While using third-party libraries, microservices, code generators, large language models (LLMs), etc., has remarkably increased productivity and flexibility in development, it has also increased the rate of generating insecure code. An automated and intelligent solution is needed to bridge the widening gap between the introduction and remediation of flaws.

‍ Today, cybersecurity is evolving into cyber risk management. The last few decades of immense technological and digital transformations have meant that, to a large extent, a business’s ability to be resilient is dependent on a reliable, free flow of data and on technology functioning without interruption. This shift has profound implications for the global economy’s ability to remain stable. ‍

In the ever-evolving landscape of digital business, security is paramount. As businesses navigate the complexities of today's interconnected world, ensuring the safety of sensitive data and maintaining the integrity of operations becomes a top priority. Partner with Airtel, a trusted leader in telecommunications, and explore the cutting-edge Airtel Managed Security Services, fortified by the robust Elastic Security stack.

During a recent customer assessment, our pen testers discovered a critical vulnerability that exemplifies the importance of manual and continuous pen testing. The issue involved a feature intended for administrators, allowing them to send messages to a “broadcast” endpoint, which would then be displayed in a modal pop-up box for all logged-in users of the web application. However, our pen testers found that this functionality was accessible to any user, regardless of their role.
