WannaCry, Log4j, Follina, Spring4Shell — these incidents send shivers down the spines of anybody who works in IT or security. Zero-day vulnerabilities are unknown or unaddressed exploitable software or hardware security flaws that are typically unknown to the vendor and for which no patch or other fix is yet available.

Ransomware has evolved significantly since its inception. Initially, these attacks were relatively simple: malware would encrypt a victim's files, and the attacker would demand a ransom for the decryption key. However, as cybersecurity measures improved, so did ransomware gangs' tactics. Modern ransomware attacks often involve sophisticated techniques such as data exfiltration, where attackers steal sensitive information before encrypting it.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s widely used Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF) provides organizations with a common language that allows staff at all levels—and at all points in a supply chain—to develop a shared understanding of their cybersecurity capability.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLM) have revolutionized numerous industries, from healthcare to finance. However, with this rapid adoption comes new risks, one of which is prompt injection. This emerging threat has significant implications for the security, ethics, and reliability of AI systems.

Cybersecurity teams across all disciplines, including vulnerability management, are challenged to move faster than ever before. Whether it’s responding to a security incident, finding a new vulnerability, or stopping an attack, speed is at a premium.

In the realm of secure software development, managing security debt is crucial. The following data highlights a concerning trend in the accumulation of critical security debt, particularly in the popular programming languages of Java, JavaScript, and.NET. Let’s dive into this new research and explore options for managing the prioritization dilemma we’re seeing.

On July 24, 2024, an unattributed threat actor distributed a password-protected installer masquerading as an inauthentic Falcon Crash Reporter Installer to a German entity in an unattributed spear-phishing attempt. Subsequent analysis revealed that executing the installer with the threat actor-provided password leads to a novel execution chain in which an agent written to the Mythic command-and-control (C2)1 framework is executed as LLVM Intermediate Representation (IR) bitcode.

Before Crowdstrike caused the world to melt down for a few days, the talk of the security town was a recent OpenSSH vulnerability (CVE-2024-6387). Dubbed by its celebrity name regreSSHion, it is a Remote Code Execution vulnerability in some versions of OpenSSH discovered by the Qualys Threat Research Unit on July 1, 2024. Specifically, versions of OpenSSH compiled against the glibc library, which is to say “probably most of them”, were impacted.

In today's world, electronic mails (e-mails) serve as a medium of both official and personal correspondence. With sensitive information being shared online, it's essential to secure your emails. Pretty Good Privacy (PGP), a robust encryption program, offers a reliable solution for securing the contents of your emails. Developed by Phil Zimmermann in 1991, PGP utilizes public-key cryptography to ensure both confidentiality and authenticity in email exchanges.
