Assessing cybersecurity risks is critical for identifying vulnerabilities in your systems that can potentially lead to data breaches, financial loss, reputation damage, legal liabilities, and other negative consequences. Knowing your weaknesses will help you take proactive measures to protect your sensitive information, comply with relevant regulations, and ensure business continuity.

Let’s start the second quarter of the year with boosting our security posture by adopting two-factor authentication methods on our accounts to make them more secure. Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an identity and access management security method that requires two forms of identification to access resources and data.

As an organization’s data volume grows, so does the need to manage its access and governance consistently and securely. The proliferation of vast and siloed data spread across diverse applications, multi-cloud and hybrid environments, and formats over the last few decades has made it difficult to control data access and governance. In order for structured data to be effectively utilized, it needs to be combined and enhanced in a way that supports both operational and analytical tasks.

PDF Exports: Hidden SSRF Risk In the realm of cybersecurity, understanding vulnerabilities is paramount to safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining the integrity of systems. One such vulnerability that often lurks in the shadows is SSRF, or Server Side Request Forgery. While SSRF vulnerabilities have been extensively discussed in various contexts, today, we're going to delve into a unique perspective – exploring SSRF vulnerabilities through the lens of HTML to PDF exports.

At this point, it is clear: cyber attacks from nation-state adversaries persistently threaten local, state, and federal governments, as well as educational institutions. It is not a matter of if bad actors can penetrate existing security controls, as they are already doing so and will continue to do so. Whether it is due to one unpatched machine or one user clicking on a link in an email, we believe cyberattacks are inevitable.

Every year, Bonnaroo, the popular music and arts festival, takes over a 700-acre farm in the southern U.S. for four days. While the festival is known for its diverse lineup of music, it also offers a unique and immersive festival experience filled with art, comedy, cinema, and more.

As communicated in January, Bitsight will conduct a ratings algorithm update (RAU) on July 10, 2024, as part of our ongoing efforts to optimize our methodology to provide the best external indicator of the performance of cybersecurity controls. Today, we’re excited to announce that our 2024 RAU is available to preview in the Bitsight applications.

The role of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) or Security Leader has undergone a transformation as profound as the threats we face. Between new regulations such as SEC, NIS2, and DORA, the explosion of generative AI, and the rapidly expanding attack surface, the burden is now on cybersecurity leaders to not only protect the organization but build confidence with customers, regulators, board members, and other stakeholders. The key to building trust? Storytelling.

There’s one question our Security team hears more than any other: Is my 1Password data vulnerable if my device is compromised or infected with malware?

Today, in the heart of London, I caught sight of a screen on platform four at Vauxhall train station. On it was displayed a busy illustration of the marvels of modern transportation: trains moving seamlessly across multiple lines; their positions, destinations, and tracks all displaying tightly orchestrated precision in real-time. It was a compelling depiction of the complexity of a public rail system on a small island–a tightly woven network where data integrity is paramount.
