APIs can be vulnerable to a wide variety of attacks, such as poor inventory management and access controls, making them a primary target for attackers. Server-side request forgery (SSRF) is one type of attack that has become more prominent with the rising use of public clouds. This is primarily due to new development practices like using Instance Metadata Services (IMDS) to access valuable information about deployed instances, such as credentials.

Watching the recent Snowflake customer attacks unfold felt a bit like rewatching a horror movie with predictable attack sequences and missed opportunities to run to safety. But this time, the ending was far more devasting. More than 100 organizations were exposed, and many are now grappling with the impacts of data theft and extortion in what some are calling one of the largest breaches in history.

In today’s interconnected digital landscape, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks pose a significant threat to organizations of all sizes. To effectively combat this ever-evolving menace, there is a critical need for DDoS threat intelligence and collaborative sharing of data. We’ll explore the importance of DDoS threat intelligence, the benefits of collaborative data sharing, and the collective effort required to mitigate the impact of DDoS attacks.

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), with their ability to enable different software systems to communicate, have helped shape the digital world irrevocably. They allow developers to create more interoperable, scalable, efficient, and innovative digital services and applications across important industries such as retail, finance, manufacturing, and healthcare. However, with the explosion of API creation and usage comes inevitable risks.

In our interconnected online world, the security of applications and the data they process is essential. Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) plays a critical role in enhancing application security by offering valuable insights into potential threats, vulnerabilities, and the overall security posture of an organization.

Grandparent scams happen when a cybercriminal impersonates a victim’s family member, such as a grandchild, to convince them that there is an emergency. Despite the name of this scam, the victim doesn’t always have to be a grandparent or grandchild. The primary goal of these scams is to extort money from a victim by pretending that their loved one is in danger.

Since the beginning of the year, we’ve committed to enhancing your experience in ways that will help you easily accomplish whatever you set out to do when you open 1Password – especially saving, finding, and accessing your sensitive data across any of the devices you’re using.

As cloud technologies continue to advance and more organizations shift toward cloud-based solutions, the need for stringent security measures has become increasingly vital. Effective cloud security not only protects sensitive data from unauthorized access and potential breaches, but also ensures the smooth functioning of cloud-based services.

The relentless battle against cyber threats continues, and CVE-2024-30078 stands as a stark reminder of the ever-present need for vigilance. A critical vulnerability (CVE-2024-30078) has been identified in Wi-Fi drivers for various Microsoft Windows versions. This flaw allows attackers within Wi-Fi range to remotely execute malicious code (RCE) on vulnerable systems. Immediate patching is recommended.

Network Access Control (NAC) has undergone significant advancements since the beginning, continuously adapting for cybersecurity threats and technological innovation. As organizations embrace BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and IoT/OT (Internet of Things/Operational Technology), vendors have transformed traditional NAC solutions to meet these new demands while maintaining a balance between usability and security.
