It's not a new technique, but that doesn't mean that cybercriminals cannot make rich rewards from SEO poisoning. SEO poisoning is the dark art of manipulating search engines to ensure that malware-laced adverts and dangerous websites appear high on users' results - often impersonating legitimate businesses and organisations. But the simplest way of all to get a malicious website in front of a potential victim is to create a Google advertising account, and buy your way to the top of the search results.

With the continuing rise of ransomware, malware defenses are more critical than ever before with regard to securing the enterprise. Anti-Malware technologies have become an afterthought in many organizations, a technology that they’ve always had, always used, and never really thought about. This control serves as a reminder that this technology is as critical as it ever was and lays out the minimum requirements for ensuring your malware defenses are up to the task.

In our previous blog post in this series we showed how the immaturity of the Machine Learning (ML) field allowed our team to discover and disclose 22 unique software vulnerabilities in ML-related projects, and we analyzed some of these vulnerabilities that allowed attackers to exploit various ML services.

In the ever-evolving Kubernetes landscape, security remains a paramount concern. Ensuring that your containers are free from vulnerabilities is crucial for maintaining the integrity and performance of your applications. This is where Calico Vulnerability Management steps in, offering a comprehensive solution designed to keep your Kubernetes environment secure from potential threats.

In today’s rapidly interconnected digital environment, third-party APIs have become fundamental for enhancing functionality and enriching user experiences. However, as seen in recent incidents like the Kaiser data breach, these third-party integrations carry risks that, if unaddressed, can lead to significant security and privacy violations.

As organizations accelerate their innovation in the cloud and their adoption of AI, securing AI workloads and identities has become critical. Misconfigurations, vulnerabilities and identity-based threats expose high-value assets to potential manipulation and exploitation.
