In recent years, Telegram has emerged as a popular messaging platform among cybercriminals, driven by its combination of simplicity, security, and efficiency. Telegram's encrypted messaging capabilities, real-time communication, and the ability to send large data files make it an ideal platform for cybercriminal activities, making it an attractive alternative to traditional underground forums.

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to expand across industries such as healthcare, automotive, manufacturing, and smart cities, the need for robust security measures has become more critical than ever. The proliferation of internet connected devices across various sectors, including healthcare and smart homes, has introduced significant security risks.

Many security professionals prioritize data loss prevention (DLP). To this end, they’re increasingly relying on DLP software to make their lives easier. DLP software solutions are proactive rather than reactive. These tools provide flexible control over highly sensitive data, monitor and identify potential weak points, and provide a robust defense against even the most damaging data loss and security incidents.

Imagine this: You’ve just started a new job at a new company when you get a text message that says it's from the CEO. They are requesting that you take care of a time-sensitive task. At first, you may think it’s a real request, but it’s more likely a pernicious form of SMS phishing known as executive impersonation, or CEO fraud. As we continue to rely on mobile devices for work, attackers are getting smarter about how they exploit our trust in these devices against us.

Third-party risk management (TPRM) is the structured process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks posed by external vendors, suppliers, and service providers. These risks can include cyber threats, data breaches, regulatory violations, and financial instability, all of which can severely impact your organization’s security and compliance posture.

On October 9th, 2024, five vulnerabilities were disclosed by Palo Alto Networks: These vulnerabilities affect Palo Alto Networks Expedition, a tool that manages configuration migration from supported vendors to Palo Alto Networks systems.

Collaboration is critical to take down today’s most advanced adversaries. CrowdStrike regularly works with law enforcement agencies and industry leaders to identify, track and stop cyber threats. We recently cooperated with the Department of Justice as part of a broader effort to disrupt two individuals heavily involved in operating Anonymous Sudan.

We’ve all been there—staring at code, hoping no hidden traps are waiting to cause chaos down the line. That’s where secure code reviews come in. Think of them as your last chance to catch those pesky bugs and vulnerabilities before they wreak havoc. And here’s a little reality check—those cutting-edge LLMs? They suggest insecure code 30% of the time. So, even with AI on our side, we still need to stay sharp.

In the context of cloud security posture management (CSPM), custom controls are policies or rules that give security teams the flexibility to create and enforce policies. These are needed to manage posture, tailor compliance measures, and detect misconfigurations across infrastructures like Kubernetes, containers, and the cloud.
