At JFrog, we’re serious about software supply chain security. As a CVE Numbering Authority, our JFrog Security Research team regularly discovers and discloses new malicious packages and vulnerabilities posing a threat to development organizations. We know that in order to deliver trusted software on demand, you must have a secure software supply chain — making security a priority in everything we do.

When we published the Elastic Global Threat Report in 2022, it included threat trends and correlations from our analysis of telemetry data shared by our users. In addition to telling us about how well features work for them, it also represents our visibility of the threat landscape. About 34% of the techniques we saw were related to defense evasion, which we believe is a direct result of endpoint security innovations.

If I throw a coin high up in the air, I know the outcome — it will either be heads or tails. However, I can’t predict which it will be. I will certainly be able to guess with a 50% chance, but I can’t be 100% certain. If I were to roll a die, my certainty becomes less (1 in 6). However, I still know what the output could be. Computers are great at many things, especially predictability. They are deterministic and creating a truly random number is impossible.

The names of over 1.5 million individuals were published on the dark web in January after ahacker gained access to the TSA’s “No Fly List.” That’s a lot of names (including aliases and birth dates), so why wasn’t the list secure, and how did it get leaked? The entire breach came down to one small business with one misconfigured server.

Vulnerability Management refers to the systematic approach to the identification, classification, and remediation of vulnerabilities across various cyber systems.

The first nationwide lockdown was implemented in Italy on 9th March 2020. The IT employee sitting in Buenos Aires could not have imagined a 234-day lockdown at that point. The US of America could not have predicted the loss of 1.1 million lives over the couple of years that follow. The world of commerce was busy grappling with the second-largest global recession in recent history.

Today, CyberArk announced that our founder and CEO Udi Mokady will step into the role of Executive Chairman and our Chief Operating Officer, Matt Cohen, will become CyberArk’s CEO, effective April 3, 2023. Together, Udi and Matt make a great team and we’re excited for this next chapter in CyberArk’s journey.

With hundreds of contributors, the MITRE ATT&CK Framework has become a vital resource of open source knowledge for the security industry. CISOs and cybersecurity professionals around the globe rely on the framework to increase their understanding about different cyber-attack tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs). With insights about TTPs relevant to their specific platform or environment, organizations gain tremendous value to combat cyber threats.

A data breach occurs when sensitive information is exposed to the public without authorization. These events are growing in popularity, costing businesses an average of US$4.35 million per event. Unfortunately, many companies are unknowingly still repeating the same mistakes causing some of the biggest breaches in history. To prevent your business from becoming another breach static, adjust your cybersecurity program to the proven breach prevention strategy outlined in this post.
