Cyber threats are constantly evolving and becoming increasingly sophisticated, and organizations are continuously searching for ways to fortify their cybersecurity defenses. One approach that has gained significant traction is hyperautomation. Hyperautomation, which automates once-manual security workflows and processes, enhances cybersecurity posture, streamlines security operations, and effectively mitigates risks.

In a time where cyber threats evolve as swiftly as the technologies they target, organizations need a strategic approach to rise above the noise while effectively reducing risk. Enter Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) — a paradigm-shift in cybersecurity introduced by Gartner. In this article, we compare and contrast CTEM with a closely related, traditional approach – vulnerability management – and discuss practical ways to apply CTEM in your organization.

‍ “All models are wrong, but some are useful.” ‍ In the earliest days of cyber risk management, chief information security officers (CISOs) generally relied on matrices and other subjective risk assessments for strategic planning.

At Bitsight, part of the core work of the Vulnerability Research team is to analyze new high-profile vulnerabilities and ensure we come up with ways to detect, at an internet-wide scale, who is affected by these. Sometimes - more often than not - the direct exploitation of these vulnerabilities is significantly intrusive, and thus we can not load a direct port of the publicly available Proofs-of-Concept onto our internet scanning infrastructure.

The world of payments is having its “Henry Ford” moment. Traditional organizations in the industry, from payment service providers (PSPs) to banks, are still using the equivalent of horses for settlement and cross-border transactions. In contrast, innovative startups and certain forward-looking incumbents have embraced this industry’s Model T – blockchain technology. The results that payments providers exploring blockchain have reported thus far can’t be ignored.

Account takeover (ATO) fraud poses a serious and personal threat, especially when it compromises something as critical as your bank account. Imagine the shock and helplessness of discovering you’re suddenly barred from accessing your own financial resources. This violation isn’t just about unauthorized transactions or financial losses; it’s a profound breach of your privacy.

APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) have become the backbone of many modern applications, and indeed the foundation of some businesses services. APIs enable seamless communication between applications, services and systems, allowing organisations to innovate, collaborate and deliver value to their customers. However, as reliance on APIs grows, so does the need for robust security measures to protect these critical digital assets from potential threats.

As the April 15, 2024 filing deadline approaches, tax scammers are working overtime to take advantage of rushed or stressed taxpayers. This tax season, scammers have adopted more sophisticated techniques - particularly leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to disguise their schemes. However, remaining vigilant and taking some simple precautions can help you avoid becoming a victim.

If you spend quite a bit of time in the command line, working with Docker images and containers locally to build and test them, you might be in the mood for some power-user Docker commands. We're skipping the basics and diving straight into the lesser-known yet highly effective commands that can significantly improve your Docker experience.
