However, proper planning and having a reliable security strategy can help you bring back from the place of no return!

We’re happy to announce the open beta of C/C++ security scanning in Snyk Open Source, enabling development and security teams to find and fix known security vulnerabilities in their C/C++ open source code and libraries! Used across various industry verticals and prominent within the gaming, hardware/IoT, and communications industries, C/C++ continues to have a major impact on software development and the technology space as a whole.

One thing about the world of cybersecurity—it's seldom dull. The variety and creativity of cyberthieves keeps the industry constantly worth watching. November's roster of data breaches is an excellent illustration on that point: a mix of surprising methods, unusual motivations, and one old-fashioned data heist on one of the internet's most tempting targets.

According to the recent Verizon Data Breach Investigations report, 45% of breaches featured hacking in 2020. With high-value information such as user credentials and credit card information being stored on personal devices and transmitted freely online, hacking techniques have evolved to become more sophisticated than ever before.

The technical term jailbreaking implies that a locked-down electronic device has been changed to remove restrictions and allow the installation of unauthorised software. Although the term contains breaking, it doesn’t involve breaking anything physically.

Cyber security is a serious concern for businesses in the digital age.

This blog post will discuss the definition of threat intelligence and different stages of the threat intelligence cycle to help you better understand what happens behind the scenes.

Through the active Dark Web research that Trustwave SpiderLabs conducts for its clients, we have observed new communications on various Dark Web forums between Eastern-European cybercriminals. Based on the conversations that we’ve collected, a segment of cybercriminals is now worried that the Russian authorities may be actively hunting them down.

Cloud accounts continue to be a valuable target for cybercriminals: not only do the resources of a compromised IaaS environment grant an immediate profit for the attackers, but the same infrastructure also provides a trusted environment to launch attacks against other targets.

‍Cybersecurity breaches have been on the rise, and it's expected that by 2023, they'll have grown to 15.4 million. While technological advancements have made it easy for organizations to upgrade their security measures, malicious hackers are now using sophisticated tools. This means that in addition to implementing strict cybersecurity policies, you also have to take proactive measures to reduce your cybersecurity risks.
