Have you ever heard of CVEs? Maybe not by their acronym, but Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, monitored by the CVE Program Mission, are everywhere. As of the writing of this article, there are over 220,000 CVE Records available—meaning many potential threats you could be exposed to. How can you ever protect your infrastructure against this reality? Well, the good news is, you usually don’t have to.

Happy October! The leaves are changing and everyone is starting to get ready for the upcoming holidays, but let’s not forget one of the most important holidays of the year—Cybersecurity Awareness Month! Though our audience is almost entirely cybersecurity experts, we wanted to put something together to help the less technical people in our lives learn more about AI and cybersecurity, because Cybersecurity Month is for everyone.

Imagine slashing the time spent on code reviews while catching more bugs and vulnerabilities than ever before. That’s the promise of AI-driven code review tools. With 42% of large and enterprise organizations already integrating AI into their IT operations , the future of software development is here. These tools can swiftly detect syntax errors, enforce coding standards, and identify security threats, making them invaluable to development teams. However, as powerful as AI is, it has its pitfalls.

Early last month, Netskope announced a few key security innovations across the Netskope One platform and some of my colleagues kicked off the conversation about Netskope Risk Exchange in a previous blog, Evolving the Netskope Risk Exchange Ecosystem. This blog series will continue to explore a number of different workflows that those comfortable using basic scripting, or enablement tools like Postman, can employ to programmatically update and inform your inline policy actions.

In the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, the debate between Universal ZTNA and Traditional ZTNA is heating up. While Traditional ZTNA has been a cornerstone for secure access, Universal ZTNA is redefining the game with its comprehensive, adaptive approach. Imagine a security solution that fortifies your network and seamlessly integrates with any environment, providing unparalleled protection and flexibility. Ready to explore the future of secure access?

Penetration testing is something that more companies and organizations should be considering as a necessary expense. I say this because, over the years, the cost of data breaches and other forms of malicious intrusions and disruptions are getting costlier. Per IBM Security’s “Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024,” the average cost of a breach has increased 10% year over year, with the healthcare sector having the highest cost breaches for 14 consecutive years.

The role of the сhief information officer (CIO) has transformed over the years, extending beyond traditional technical responsibilities. Currently, CIOs are facing numerous issues, such as widely distributed workforces, economic hurdles, and adopting cutting-edge technologies. In this article, we’ll cover these and other challenges facing CIOs today, and measures you can take to navigate them.

As cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated, traditional security measures such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems (IDS) are no longer sufficient. That’s why Network Detection and Response (NDR) is brought into the picture, to provide better and advanced solutions. It comes with real-time detection, automated responses, and advanced analysis. This blog focuses on the protective defense capabilities of NDR in cyber security.

On October 9, 2024, GitLab released patches for a critical vulnerability affecting various versions of GitLab EE, identified as CVE-2024-9164. This flaw allows a remote attacker to run pipelines on arbitrary branches within a repository, which could potentially lead to code execution. A GitLab pipeline consists of a series of automated processes that execute in stages to build, test, and deploy code.
