When Bluesky ransomware first appeared, it caused a lot of trouble for businesses of all kinds. This sophisticated and dangerous threat actor has shown that they are determined to stop activities and get money by any means necessary. To mitigate the Bluesky danger, businesses need to take a thorough and proactive approach to handling incidents and keeping threats inside their borders.

It all started when I began receiving multiple notifications on my Mac asking me to approve an authentication request. I ignored them at first, thinking it was a system error. But they kept popping up again and again, until they started interfering with my work. I was busy so I didn't stop to investigate. Then I received a phone call from a person claiming to be from my company's IT support team.

New legislation is on the horizon in Australia that is set to change the way businesses deal with ransomware attacks. This law, not unlike the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act (CIRCIA) in the US, aims to improve transparency when it comes to paying ransoms. There's no question that cybercrime is on the rise in the country.

Organizational cyber risk is notoriously difficult to quantify. Determining the impact of investments made by cyber security teams to reduce it is even tougher.

‍A cybersecurity risk assessment, or cyber risk assessment, is a standardized process that organizations have established along with their implementation of cloud-based technologies to discover the accompanying vulnerabilities and threats. These assessments leverage the available, relevant data to identify the likelihood of various cybersecurity events occurring along with the potential impact should they come to fruition.

Now that AfterDarkMode malware is out there, internet threats are even more complicated and dangerous. That person who is sneaky and hard to catch has shown that they are motivated to get into systems and use weaknesses to their advantage. For businesses to be safe from the AfterDarkMode threat, they need to understand its plans, methods, and procedures and take steps to lower the risk. AfterDarkMode malware is a very advanced and sneaky threat that can take over computers without anyone noticing.

Security used to be simpler. Employees, servers and applications were on site. IT admins were the only privileged identities you had to secure, and a strong security perimeter helped to keep all the bad guys out. Times have changed. Attackers targeting identities is not new. What’s different is the dramatic increase in the quantities and types of identities, attacks and environments.

Having a market share of 8.81 % and competing with other version control platforms, like GitHub, Bitbucket, and GitLab, Azure DevOps can already boast of more than 700M Azure users. That’s not surprising, as the service offers a variety of things from planning to development and operations. Thus, containing critical DevOps information, Azure DevOps becomes a critical hub of your data. So, in this case, is the question “Why back up Azure DevOps” the correct one?

In today’s threat landscape, security teams face mounting challenges in maintaining a robust security posture. Legacy tools often fall short of defending against increasingly sophisticated adversaries, especially with the complexity of modern, multi-cloud environments. Corelight’s latest integration with the SentinelOne Singularity Platform brings a fresh approach to overcoming these challenges, unifying network and endpoint visibility while simplifying and accelerating threat investigations.

We’re excited to announce the Policy SBOM feature is now generally available to all Styra DAS customers, giving enterprises transparency and traceability into deployed authorization policies. Just like a software bill of materials (SBOM) is an inventory of the components and dependencies in a software application, a Policy SBOM is an inventory of the policy modules, including their sources, versions, and dependencies, within an Open Policy Agent (OPA) policy bundle.
