The integration of generative AI (GenAI) into healthcare holds tremendous potential for transforming patient care, diagnostics, and operational efficiency. However, developing these applications faces numerous challenges that must be addressed to ensure compliance, accuracy, and security. Here are the top challenges in building healthcare GenAI applications.

In a recent LevelBlue incident response engagement, an analyst in our managed detection and response (MDR) security operations center (SOC) responded to an alarm that was triggered by a suspicious email/inbox rule. The rule aimed to conceal responses to an internal phishing attempt from the account user, so the attacker could solicit funds from the company's users.

The create symbolic links user right determines the users ability to create a symbolic link within Windows from the device they’re logged on to. These links point to other files or folders, just like regular shortcuts, but works in a more advanced way. Symbolic links help maintain organization and flexibility while minimizing potential security risks by giving the ability to create a link in one folder that points to a file in a different folder, making it seem like the file exists in both places.

Mailcow Mail Server Vulnerabilities Expose Servers to Remote Code Execution Recently, two significant security vulnerabilities have been uncovered in the Mailcow open-source mail server suite. These vulnerabilities, which affect all versions prior to 2024-04, were disclosed by SonarSource on March 22, 2024, and could allow malicious actors to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable Mailcow instances. Understanding the Vulnerabilities.

Your passwords should be at least 16 characters long. The longer your password is, the more secure it is. This is because of something known as password entropy which refers to how the combination of the characters that make up a password determines the strength of it. Password entropy considers the length and character variation of a password to calculate how difficult it would be for cybercriminals to crack or guess it.

Businesses manage a series of balancing acts every day—between innovation and reliability, for instance, investment or profit, speed or security. Each leader contributes to how decisions are weighed and made, and traditionally CISOs have been expected to operate at one end of that scale, as the chief protector of the business.

(A thought from The Matrix: Neo likely used a SIEM before he took the red pill and could see the matrix without one...) One of the best ways to monitor security-related activities for your organization is to collect audit logs from every network device and analyze those logs for activities which violate acceptable behavior. This is precisely the role of a SIEM or Security Information and Event Manager. Let me simplify your life by providing some best practice suggestions for deploying and using a SIEM.

What are your most important corporate assets? Like most companies, you probably have mission-critical assets and those that play a smaller role in your revenue and continuity. You are also likely to be using Vulnerability Management or Assessment tools to lock down where those assets can potentially be compromised. Vulnerability Prioritization combines asset importance and potential for risk.

Cyber security reports are an invaluable tool for keeping stakeholders and senior management informed about your cyber security efforts. This post outlines examples of some of the most popular reporting styles, with a particular focus on a field of cybersecurity drawing increasing interest among executive teams - Vendor Risk Management. Each of the cyber security report examples in this list have been pulled from the UpGuard platform.

In this post, we’ll discuss the web scraping best practices, and since I believe many of you are thinking about it, I’ll address the elephant in the room right away. Is it legal? Most likely yes. Scraping sites is generally legal, but within certain reasonable grounds (just keep reading). Also depends on your geographical location, and since I’m not a genie, I don’t know where you’re at, so I can’t say for sure.
