The threat landscape is rapidly changing, and the businesses can’t play a waiting game when it comes to planning their data protection strategy. The stakes are getting bigger, and the attacks and security threats are a matter of when rather than if Today, downtime can cost millions to organizations and cyberattacks can bring operations to a halt and make businesses go bankrupt. Disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity (BC) have shifted from best practices to essential strategies.

The OWASP Top Ten lists have been the cornerstone for application security best practices for over two decades. The 2019 list was the first edition of the OWASP API Security Top 10. The latest, OWASP API Security Top 10 2023, gives our security and engineering teams a glimpse of attack vectors that are becoming more common. With that in mind, it also helps our security teams to ensure that they have adequate coverage for security testing.

CUPS is a suite of programs and daemons that provide local and network printing capabilities on Unix-like systems such as Linux and macOS. Versions before and including 2.0.1 are vulnerable to CVE-2024-47076 (libcupsfilters), CVE-2024-47175 (libppd), CVE-2024-47176 (cups-browsed) and CVE-2024-47177 (cups-filters), all of which can be chained together to allow remote unauthenticated code execution. At this time there is no updated version available.

Splunk has implemented SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management), a standardized protocol designed for efficient and secure management of user identities across various systems. With the release of this feature, Splunk customers can automatically deprovision users within Splunk when a user(s) are removed from the customer’s Okta Identity Provider (IdP) with following benefits for the customers.

XWorm is a relatively new versatile tool that was discovered in 2022. It enables attackers to carry out a variety of functions, which include accessing sensitive information, gaining remote access, and deploying additional malware. The multifaceted nature of XWorm is appealing to threat actors, as evidenced by its alleged use earlier this year by threat actors such as NullBulge and TA558. Through Netskope Threat Labs hunting efforts, we uncovered XWorm’s latest version in the wild.

The speed at which vulnerabilities are detected and addressed can drastically impact an organization’s likelihood of suffering a security incident. Recently, Bitsight demonstrated how its investments in product fingerprinting and CVE mapping allowed it to identify and surface assets potentially impacted by a set of critical vulnerabilities in the CUPS printing system in under 24 hours.

AI-powered solutions are becoming increasingly prevalent in enterprise environments, leading to a new trend in procurement: the need for comprehensive AI governance frameworks. This shift reflects a growing awareness of AI-specific risks and the need for more granular controls. As the founder of Nightfall AI, a startup building AI models for data security, I've navigated hundreds of procurement cycles and observed a rise in AI-specific requirements.

In 2024, you should avoid several Facebook Marketplace scams, including those related to mobile payments, gift cards, stolen items and rental properties.

You can ensure data integrity in your organization by enabling data encryption, investing in a password manager, regularly backing up your data and implementing strict access controls. Data integrity ensures that your data is accurate and complete, meaning it hasn’t been changed, removed or stolen by an unauthorized user. Continue reading to learn why data integrity is important and how your organization can ensure your data is accurate, complete and consistent.

In the world of security, every second counts. A shorter mean time to detect (MTTD) translates to less damage, increased customer trust, and a greater likelihood of securing cybersecurity support. An important factor in achieving this rapid response is the power of an intuitive and user-friendly interface.
