Managing your digital footprint is equally important.

Insider risk management is more critical than ever as human error and insider threats drive escalating security breaches. While many organizations have adopted User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) to monitor potential risks, relying solely on UEBA may fall short of the depth needed to stay ahead of these increasingly complex threats.

Before the introduction of static code analysis tools, securing mobile applications often felt like playing catch-up. Development teams would spend months building features, only to discover critical vulnerabilities late in the release cycle. This last-minute scramble to fix security issues delayed product launches and stretched resources thin—adding more pressure on developers and security teams.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) is a United States federal law that aims to enhance corporate transparency and accountability. Signed into law on July 30th, 2002, the Act came in response to a slew of major corporate accounting scandals, including those involving Enron and WorldCom, that came to light in the early 2000s. Its primary aim is to enhance corporate transparency and accountability, ensuring companies adhere to strict financial reporting standards and maintain effective internal controls.

On October 29, 2024, QNAP issued a security advisory regarding a critical OS command injection vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-50388.

The flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

Protecting web sites is more important than ever in today's quickly changing digital world. As the number of cyberattacks keeps going up, pentesting to a domain online site is an important way to find and fix holes that attackers could use easily. Pentesting, also called penetration testing, is the process of simulating cyberattacks on a web site to find security holes. This lets companies fix these holes before they can be used in real attacks.

Recently, a critical API vulnerability in FortiManager (CVE-2024-47575) was disclosed. Certain threat actors exploited it in the wild to steal sensitive information containing configurations, IP addresses, and credentials used by managed devices. In advanced notification emails, Fortinet warned its users of the vulnerability and mitigation steps. The vulnerability has a critical severity rating of 9.8 out of 10.

Web Application Testing is a comprehensive process designed to evaluate various aspects of a web application, including functionality, performance, security, and usability. This critical step in the web development lifecycle helps identify potential issues before end-users engage with the application, ensuring a smoother user experience and reducing the risk of failures post-launch.
