If you’ve ever run an online ad campaign, be it through an advertising agency or in-house, there’s a very high chance that you, too, have fallen victim to undetected ad fraud. It’s not pleasant to hear, but your ad dollars often find their way into the pockets of cyber crooks. The costs of ad fraud are astronomical and continue to grow year after year. In Q1 of 2024, ad networks experienced an 18% click fraud rate across desktop web (26%), mobile web (15%), and mobile in-app (10%).

Overlooked privileged accounts represent a serious vulnerability for organizations of all sizes. Syteca’s account discovery feature empowers you to minimize this vulnerability by detecting all hidden privileged accounts and allowing you to manage them with precision. In this post, we’ll explore the benefits of account discovery and take a look at how this feature can strengthen your cybersecurity defenses and protect sensitive data.

Adopting proactive security against firmware vulnerabilities is more critical than ever. A vulnerability survey from Ponemon Institute showed that 60% of data breaches result from unpatched vulnerabilities, highlighting how delays in firmware patch deployment can severely weaken an organization’s defenses. Firmware supports key devices like routers, switches, and firewalls, and when compromised, can grant attackers persistent access to critical systems.

In the late 1990s, the rapid expansion of computer networks highlighted the need for affordable network visibility tools. The Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) emerged as a significant advancement, enabling packet capture and filtering within the BSD operating system. BPF is the precursor of today’s widely used eBPF, and was originally released together with an accompanying library, libpcap.

Just about every organization works with some amount of sensitive information, but the defense industry’s information is more sensitive than most. That’s why the United States Department of Defense (DoD) created the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). This cybersecurity model helps protect controlled data in the defense industry — and, by extension, the military personnel who rely on that data to stay productive and safe.

Securing applications is more challenging than ever. Companies are faced with increasingly complex infrastructures that demand higher levels of protection to mitigate security risks effectively. That’s why Jit is thrilled to announce our new partnership with Loom Security, a leading professional services firm dedicated to helping companies secure their applications in the cloud.

It’s finally here! Microsoft’s new external authentication methods (EAM) is now available in public preview, set to replace custom controls. For the past couple of months, we’ve been working closely with the Microsoft Entra ID team to bring you this highly anticipated security enhancement. External authentication methods integration with CyberArk delivers enhanced security while simplifying user experiences.

It should be no surprise that the costs associated with a corporate data breach can be high. (The average total cost is now nearly $5 million, according to IBM.) What may be more alarming is the average length of time it takes for businesses to recover from a breach – and what that means for their security teams, business operations, and bottom line.
