Active Directory Certificate Services has been around for a long time, but resources for learning it are not great. As a result, it often has misconfigurations that are an increasing vector for attacks. In fact, SpecterOps released a whitepaper detailing a number of misconfigurations and potential attacks and providing hardening advice.

As organizations move their infrastructure to the cloud, payment data are being exposed unknowingly leading to high profile data breaches. Find out how the new guidance from PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) and Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) can help protect your cardholder data in the cloud.

After being hit by a ransomware or phishing attack, it might be tempting for businesses to think the damage has been done and they can now focus on rebuilding. This is rarely the case. Research shows that 80% of organisations targeted by ransomware end up suffering another attack – and 46% are targeted by the same cybercriminals that hit them in the first place.

Cyberattacks are on the rise. The growing number of internet-connected devices and the value of business data means cybercriminals have more to gain than ever from breaking into a company’s network. It’s not uncommon for hackers to target operations of all sizes — meaning that any company holding onto important information needs defenses that will keep that data secure. These seven strategies are some of the most important cybersecurity tactics for a business to use.

Vigilant companies continuously review risks and their cybersecurity postures. They deploy active defense-in-depth measures and utilize the latest malware detection and mitigation techniques. However, there is one type of vulnerability that tends to fall through the cracks—insider threats. That’s because IT organizations often believe it’s management’s problem to address, while managers believe IT groups have insider threats under control.

Vulnerability management is a full-time occupation. This cybersecurity function is iterative and involves constant monitoring, documentation, and review. From updating your software to recording new patches, vulnerability management is a constant process that benefits from automated tools like Nightfall . Here’s how vulnerability management works, the ins and outs of the vulnerability management life cycle, and best practices to implement at your organization.

As the pandemic pushed more businesses to an online-first model, cybercriminals seized opportunities to profit from fraudulent activity. But the financial impact of these attacks on businesses has been hard to quantify. Netacea recently surveyed 440 businesses from across the USA and UK to understand how much financial impact bot attacks are having across different industries.

The U.S. government aims to tackle cybercrime, in particular attacks targeting critical infrastructure. For this purpose, the U.S. State Department has announced a reward of up to $10 million to anyone who offers valid information about any potential cyberattacks on critical infrastructure supported by foreign states.

Cybersecurity remains an ever-growing concern in our digitized, post-pandemic world. While rapid digitization opens doors to ample benefits and business opportunities, companies also have to deal with an uptick in cybercrimes, as criminals and other threat actors raise their game, making cyber attacks more frequent and complex than ever before. Consequently, businesses have suffered serious losses resulting from ransomware attacks, data breaches, and theft of trade secrets.

The DevOps, IT security and IT governance communities will remember 2021 as the year when the Software Bill of Materials , or SBOM, graduated from a “nice to have” to a “must have.” Around for years, the SBOM has now become a critical DevSecOps piece, which everyone must thoroughly understand and incorporate into their SDLC (Software Development Lifecycle).
