In this week’s episode of The Future of Security Operations podcast, I'm joined by Adam Khan. Adam is a cybersecurity and technology leader with over 25 years of experience working at Fortune 500 companies. He has a proven track record of building and managing global security teams, leading engineering, infrastructure, application, and product, and is currently VP of Global Security Operations at Barracuda.

SecurityScorecard STRIKE threat researchers discovered 12 zero-days in customer environments in the last year. Attacks are increasingly targeting third-party software. The zero-day vulnerability that emerged in Progress Software’s MOVEit Transfer product last year was a stark reminder of the real-world impact of such vulnerabilities. It wreaked havoc on businesses and governments worldwide, with cyber criminals exploiting it since May of 2023.

When it comes to online safety, performance, and privacy, one size does not fit all. This is where Avast One Silver comes in.

In the world of data backup and recovery, you would have come across the terms crash-consistent backup and application-consistent backup very frequently. With these types of backup you can ensure the recover ability and availability of the backed up data. Understanding the difference between the two backup methods is crucial for organizations seeking to implement effective data protection strategies.

Data exfiltration and ransomware attacks in cloud-native applications are evolving cyber threats that pose significant risks to organizations, leading to substantial financial losses, reputational damage, and operational disruptions. As Kubernetes adoption grows for running containerized applications, it becomes imperative to address the unique security challenges it presents.

‍ Over the past few decades, cyber attackers have increasingly wreaked havoc on the market, taking advantage of newer, more sophisticated ways to exploit system vulnerabilities. However, in fear of losing competitive advantages, organizations had notoriously downplayed the impact of these attacks, misleading investors and resulting in stock prices that did not accurately represent the risk landscape. ‍

The Sysdig Threat Research Team (Sysdig TRT) recently discovered a long-running botnet operated by a Romanian threat actor group, which we are calling RUBYCARP. Evidence suggests that this threat actor has been active for at least 10 years. Its primary method of operation leverages a botnet deployed using a variety of public exploits and brute force attacks.

Data security is more important than ever because of an expanding cyber attack surface, frequent supply chain attacks, and evolving AI threats. The global average cost of a data breach reached an all-time high of $4.45 million in 2023, according to the 2023 Cost of a Data Breach Report by IBM Security. In this article, you’ll discover the main data security strategies and 10 methods of protecting data that apply to most industries.

Recent cyberattacks and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) research indicate the danger facing the healthcare industry is not subsiding, which means healthcare providers must maintain a high level of alert and continue to bolster their cyber defenses.

CrowdStrike and Google Cloud today debuted an expanded strategic partnership with a series of announcements that demonstrate our ability to stop cloud breaches with industry-leading AI-powered protection. These new features and integrations are built to protect Google Cloud and multi-cloud customers against adversaries that are increasingly targeting cloud environments.
