Smart devices are everywhere — and one common cybersecurity myth is that security teams don’t need to worry about sensitive data stored on them. However, in a landscape where 75% of organizations have experienced phishing attacks against their employees, a robust security posture that includes coverage of your employees' personal tech is a must.

Healthcare organizations today face an imminent threat to securing private health information (PHI) on their websites. For this reason, HHS has released requirements to help organizations and patients stay protected. Non-compliance can result in HIPAA violations leading to costly lawsuits. Most healthcare companies use tracking technologies for marketing and analytics. Sometimes these trackers, cookies, and pixels collect and share more health information than is necessary, leading to privacy breaches.

This is a continuation of the series on web application security. If you haven't already read through part 1, this is a good time to go back. If not, let's move on and answer the question left hanging during our last installment: how do browsers know which site set the cookies in the first place? And what constitutes the same site?

Windows event logs are a key source of important information about your Windows environments, including detailed records of user activities, system performance, and potential security issues. However, with the sheer volume of logs modern environments generate, it can be overwhelming for security teams to efficiently detect, triage, and respond to threats in real time.

Last year, Apple sold 234.6 million iPhones, knocking Samsung off the top spot as the most-sold mobile device since 2010. Each Apple device sold has a default Apple cloud storage plan, iCloud, which offers 5GB of free storage as standard for iPhones, iPads, Macbooks, and iMacs. As Apple's default cloud storage, many may wonder if it is right for them based on needs such as file sharing, backups, accessibility, storage size, security, and privacy.

Sixty-four percent of IT leaders have clicked on phishing links, a new survey by Arctic Wolf has found. Despite this, 80% of these same professionals are confident their organization won’t fall victim to a phishing attack. The survey found that 34% of organizations send simulated phishing emails to their employees at least once every two weeks, but only 15% of end users are aware of them. Likewise, the IT and security leaders surveyed said 83% of their employees fall for the phishing simulations.

Buffer overflows are one of the oldest and most dangerous vulnerabilities in software security. A heap buffer overflow was the second most exploited vulnerability in 2023. Over the years, it has enabled countless attacks, often with severe consequences, such as Cloudbleed in 2017. Despite advances in security practices, buffer overflows continue to pose significant risks, especially in software written in low-level languages like C and C++.

Human risk management (HRM) has become a more established category in recent years. This development signals a crucial shift towards enabling security teams to accurately quantify and manage workplace risks. With the rise of HRM, a variety of new technologies have also emerged on the market. However, how do you navigate the sea of buzzwords and shiny promises to pick the solution that's right for you?

The security and compliance landscape is ever-evolving, meaning the demands organizations need to meet today can change rapidly. While most IT teams have defined processes to handle these requirements, they may not have the capacity to address all the tasks necessary to maintain the organization’s security posture. ‍ If your organization has encountered a similar situation before, appointing a managed security service provider (MSSP) can be a solution.
