As a security analyst on Elastic’s InfoSec team, a common scenario we see is users coming to our team and asking: “Is this file safe to open?” Or one user reports a phishing email with an attachment that they didn’t open, but we see from the logs that 10 other users also received that email but didn’t report it and no alerts went off on their systems.
In the fall of 2020, voters in California approved the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Touted as California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA) 2.0, the CPRA is more an addendum and expansion of CCPA rather than an entirely new law. Think of it as an update that fixes unclear parts of the previous law and adds new systems to better handle the existence of the law itself. As there are a few “breaking changes”, the 2.0 moniker is pretty apt for those in the software world.
The benefits of application security (AppSec) tool integration in the continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline are greater the earlier (the “further left”) you perform them in the process. Development organizations are continuing to shift left to implement security earlier in the CI/CD pipeline. But software security group leaders need to know where AppSec tools should go in the CI/CD workflow, and their purposes in different phases.
Credit card attacks typically target point of sale (PoS) terminals at retail locations such as stores, restaurants and hotels. In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person retail activity greatly diminished, forcing criminals to seek other targets and to virtualize their operations.

Network scanners have become an integral part of every IT admin’s first line of defense against security breaches. Using the right network scanner tool to conduct effective network reconnaissance and diagnosis enables you to pinpoint network issues that can escalate to security risks and network mishaps. A typical network scanner would allow you to scan a range of IP addresses sequentially, and display the active devices within that address block.
Cybercriminals have been well ahead of the curve when it comes to cybersecurity in the online retail industry. Specifically, criminals have been exploiting changes in purchasing behavior that favor online transactions and adapting their methods to take advantage of the authentication challenges arising when a card is not present (CNP) at the time of the transaction.
One of the most crucial things for the healthcare sector during the ongoing global pandemic, amidst many other competing priorities, is keeping a check on its cybersecurity measures. During the first half of 2020, HHS or the Department of Health and Human Services recorded a 50% increase in cybersecurity breaches in the field of healthcare itself.
In today’s dynamic world, the fifth generation of global wireless technology (or as we know it, 5G) is driving innovation in the financial sector, and the global pandemic is changing everyone’s lifestyle and payment habits, online payments become more and more important. Against this backdrop, the most dominant tendencies are mobile and online banking, as well as investment banking.
