Developers are constantly exploring new technologies that can improve the performance, flexibility, and usability of applications. GraphQL is one such technology that has gained significant attention for its ability to fetch data efficiently. Unlike the traditional REST API, which requires multiple round trips to the server to gather various pieces of data, GraphQL allows developers to retrieve all the needed data in a single request.

Discover how UEM strengthens device management efforts and how endpoint management is evolving to meet modern endpoint security needs.

This guide for IT and security professionals shows how to detect that the CrowdStrike agent is installed and properly configured, using either vanilla osquery or 1Password Extended Access Management.

In emergency situations, 1Password Extended Access Management can get devices patched faster than MDM alone.

On February 28, 2024, our team of pentesters at Astra discovered a critical stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Personal Management System by Volmarg. This web-based tool helps you create to-do lists, take notes, and manage files in a convenient dashboard.

A critical security flaw has been discovered in SPIP, a popular open-source content management system (CMS). This flaw, identified as CVE-2024-8517, stems from a command injection issue in the BigUp plugin. The vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands remotely and without authentication, simply by sending a malicious multipart file upload HTTP request. This blog will explore the details of this vulnerability, its potential impacts, and the essential steps for mitigation.

The State of Application Security report shows that over 2.37 billion attacks were blocked on AppTrana WAAP from April 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024. Attacks targeting vulnerabilities surged by 1,200% in Q2 2024 compared to last year, an alarming fact. This sharp rise highlights that vulnerabilities are the prime target. Moreover, they are now easily exploitable thanks to readily available scripts on known vulnerabilities. This could be because of rapid adoption of AI and LLM models even among hackers.

Imagine if your fire alarm sensor went off every time you burned your toast or lit candles on a birthday cake. After a few false alarms, you’d probably start ignoring them or even turn your sensor off just to get some peace. This is what many information security teams are experiencing with vulnerability alerts.

Two significant pieces of European legislation stand out as cybersecurity regulations evolve: the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and the NIS 2 Directive. Both aim to enhance cybersecurity but target different sectors and have distinct objectives and requirements.

From the moment ChatGPT was released to the public, offensive actors started looking to use this new wealth of knowledge to further nefarious activities. Many of the controls we have become familiar with didn’t exist in its early stages. The ability to request malicious code or the process to execute an advanced attack was there for the asking from an open prompt. This proved that the models could provide adversarial recommendations and new attacks never before seen.
