Attack surface management (ASM) software is a set of automated tools that monitor and manage external digital assets that contain, transmit, or process sensitive data. ASM software identifies misconfigurations and vulnerabilities that cybercriminals could exploit for malicious purposes that result in data breaches or other serious security incidents.

Cybercriminals exploit vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across an organization’s attack surface to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data. The prevalence of digital transformation and outsourcing in the current threat landscape means an organization’s attack vectors can easily increase by millions each day. This ever-growing number makes it hard to identify cyber threats and prioritize remediation before a data breach occurs.

The average cost of a data breach will continue to rise, which means companies need to start planning accordingly. To protect your business, you need to invest in cybersecurity. Here are 11 areas you should focus on.

The Guacamaya group is a fairly new hacktivist group based in Latin America.

The group is defined as a data leakage threat group, which means they do not encrypt but only leak the stolen data, often they do it for free.

It’s the same copyright infringement trickery again, but this time, the attackers gain more personal information from their victims and use evasion techniques to hide phishing URLs.

As web servers become an increasingly popular target for cybercriminals, it is more important than ever for businesses to ensure that their systems are secure.

This blog will introduce web server penetration testing and how to carry it out effectively.

The absence of topology can be a key inhibitor for AIOps tools, creating blind spots for AIOps as they only have access to event data. A topology, an IT service model, or a dependency map is a real-time picture of tools and services that are connected and dependent on each other to deliver an IT service. Suppose an application is driven by cloud-native technology, connected with any kind of ephemeral systems (containers and microservices), and relies on storage, database, and a load balancing tool.
