At CrowdStrike, we are relentlessly researching and developing new technologies to outpace new and sophisticated threats, track adversaries’ behavior and stop breaches. As today’s adversaries continue to become faster and more advanced, the speed of enterprise detection and response is paramount. It is also a challenge for today’s organizations, which face mounting attack volumes amid a global shortage of cybersecurity practitioners.

The Roman philosopher Seneca once said, “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” In Vegas, when you are on a roll, you are on a roll. To beat the odds, you must be smart and disciplined. Whether winning big at the tables or championships on the basketball court, there is no better feeling. Often athletes are asked what it means to win and they often don’t have the words to describe it. Winning, regardless of the endeavor, almost always is a team effort.

Veracode is pleased to announce the availability of Veracode Fix capability in Veracode Scan for VS Code. Now developers can discover and remediate security flaws using Veracode’s Generative AI-powered tools directly from their Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

Cybercriminals often use spoofing attacks to disguise themselves as a familiar face or legitimate business to trick people into revealing sensitive information. They use a variety of techniques such as creating fake websites or emails. Some of the different types of spoofing attacks include call spoofing, email spoofing, website spoofing and IP spoofing. Continue reading to learn more about spoofing attacks, the seven common types of spoofing attacks and how to stay protected from them.

Biometrics are technically safer than passwords because they’re harder for cybercriminals to compromise or steal. Besides being more secure, biometrics are also phishing-resistant and more convenient to use than passwords. Read on to learn more about biometrics and why they’re considered to be more secure than passwords.

Network security services like Google Cloud Armor enable you to filter incoming traffic so that you can prevent attacks from overwhelming your system or from reaching critical components of your application. However, these services often handle threats automatically, making it difficult to gain visibility into attempted security breaches.

Vulnerability scans are essential to an effective cyber defense strategy, offering a proactive approach to uncover and mitigate potential threats before they can exploit your systems. At the forefront of this crucial practice are Tenable and RiskOptics, each offering comprehensive solutions designed to conduct thorough vulnerability assessments. These tools identify weaknesses and help prioritize and address them, significantly strengthening your overall security posture.

If your business takes debit or credit card payments online or in person, you’ve most likely heard of “PCI DSS” or “PCI SSC.” These words relate to sensitive data security procedures, namely the controls that a retailer or payment processor should have to protect payment card data from cyber attacks. Being PCI compliant does not ensure a company’s systems are safe; nonetheless, it is a significant step in that direction.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is now present in almost every aspect of our lives. However, its influence is particularly relevant in the field of cybersecurity, where it impacts both defense and attack. While it has become a great tool to protect an organization's digital assets, it has also been weaponized by cybercriminals to spread and execute increasingly sophisticated and difficult to detect cyberattacks.

In 2023 alone, the global landscape faced a staggering 6.8 billion cyberattacks on websites, underlining the critical need for robust security measures. Banking, finance, and insurance sectors witnessed over 90% bot attacks, while healthcare sites experienced a 100% bot attack rate. These alarming statistics highlight the urgent need for robust website security measures. This blog explores the fundamentals of website protection and best practices to secure your website.
