As states begin to lift shelter in place orders and businesses reopen their doors, there is a lot of speculation as to what “the new normal” will look like. And so far, there are still more questions than answers for those of us working from home.
For continuous coverage, we push out major Detectify security updates every two weeks, keeping our tool up-to-date with new findings, features and improvements sourced from our security researchers and Crowdsource ethical hacker community. Due to confidentially agreements, we cannot publicize all security update releases here but they are immediately added to our scanner and available to all users.

What is shaping today’s cybersecurity? This is the question that the Infosecurity Magazine State of Cybersecurity 2020 report investigates.
Being an important part of cyber security practices, security risk assessment protects your organization from intruders, attackers and cyber criminals. In this article, we will discuss what it is and what benefits it offers. A significant portion of our business processes heavily rely on the Internet technologies.

Recently, we reached a limitation in one of our services that led us to transition that service from Node.js to Rust.
In April 2016, European legislators passed the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and announced that it would become enforceable in May 2018.
