Developers of plugins and themes for WordPress.org have been told they are required to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) from October 1st. The move is intended to enhance security, helping prevent hackers from gaining access to accounts through which malicious code could be injected into code used by millions of websites running the self-hosted version of WordPress.

On September 11, 2024, GitLab released patches for a critical vulnerability affecting various versions of GitLab CE/EE, identified as CVE-2024-6678. This flaw allows a remote attacker to trigger a pipeline as an arbitrary user under specific conditions. A GitLab pipeline is a collection of automated processes that run in stages to build, test, and deploy code.

Is hacking a bad thing? Not really. You can hack for good.

September 12, 2024 Jerry Dawkins, PhD In the world of cybersecurity, the recent incident involving Snowflake has sparked a significant discussion around the shared responsibility between vendors and customers. The attacks, which targeted over 100 Snowflake customers, have highlighted vulnerabilities that arise not from the platform itself, but from how customers manage their security environments.

Emansrepo Stealer spreads via email, Palo Alto sheds light on top-level domains, and Earth Lusca deploys a new multiplatform backdoor.

As organizations increasingly integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into their operations, the nature of data security is undergoing significant transformation. With AI’s ability to process vast amounts of data quickly, the risk of data breaches and leaks has grown exponentially. In this context, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) has (re)emerged as a critical component for IT professionals seeking to safeguard sensitive information.

Together, CrowdStrike and 1Password are working to ensure every identity, application, and device is protected from threats. Now, you can get the combined power of 1Password and CrowdStrike for less when you bundle 1Password Extended Access Management and CrowdStrike Falcon Go.

AI guardrails are vital for ensuring the safe and responsible use of AI/large language models (LLMs). However, focusing solely on single prompt-level checks can leave organizations vulnerable to sophisticated threats. Many company policy violations and security risks can be cleverly split across multiple, seemingly innocent queries. To effectively protect against these threats, a more comprehensive approach is needed — session-level monitoring.

You wouldn’t drive a car that hasn’t been serviced in a decade. So why are you still trusting a legacy SIEM solution? The world of cybersecurity is in a constant state of flux, and your security information and event management (SIEM) needs to keep up. If you’re not regularly reassessing it, you might as well roll out the red carpet for hackers. Let’s discuss when and why you should seriously consider giving your SIEM a much-needed check-up.

Admission control is a crucial part of the Kubernetes security, enabling the approval or modification of API objects as they are submitted to the server. It allows administrators to enforce business logic or policies on what objects can be admitted into a cluster. Kubernetes RBAC is a scalable authorization mechanism, but lacks the fine grained control over different Kubernetes objects. This creates the need for another layer of control which is Admission Policies.
