With 86% of UK adults using a form of online or remote banking and high street banks closing in record numbers, banking websites have become an integral part of our daily lives. They have changed how we manage our money, allowing us to send and receive money from anywhere in the world, open or close accounts at the click of a button (or tap or a screen), and avoid queuing in physical banks. They have also transformed the UK's criminal landscape.

At the core of business management are the rules, practices and processes that define how your organization is directed, operated and controlled. This system, known as corporate governance, is aimed at creating more ethical business practices by aligning the interest of your organization’s stakeholders. In today’s business environment, the more ethical-and transparent-your organization is about its corporate governance practices, the more financially viable it will be.

In programming, the term idempotence may sound like a complex and arcane concept reserved for mathematical discussions or computer science lectures. However, its relevance stretches far beyond academia. Idempotence, also called idempotency, is a fundamental principle that is pivotal in ensuring software systems’ predictability, reliability, and consistency.

Prioritization in vulnerability management is not just about fixing problems but fixing the right problems at the right time. Not all vulnerabilities have the same level of risk. But gathering details to understand vulnerability impact takes time, a huge challenge for already overworked staff. Many are forced to work backward, taking critical issues obtained from 3rd party sources like CISA KEV or a Reddit forum and then search for assets that it may apply to.

Ongoing monitoring is a key step in effective Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) that helps ensure continuous compliance, cybersecurity performance, and risk management of external vendors and service providers. It’s a necessary step that reinforces how vendors are managing their cybersecurity processes to prevent potential data breaches or reputational damage.

Analysts rely on User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) tools to track anomalies, investigate incidents, and respond to cybersecurity threats. However, the varying nature of user and entity behaviors across different organizations means that predetermined thresholds often fail to account for unique baselines. Even within the same environment, temporal variations can cause significant differences in monitoring signals.

Security incidents and data breaches are the cybersecurity version of the definition of squares and rectangles in geometry. While all data breaches are security incidents, not all security incidents are data breaches. Before investigating an incident, many security teams know whether the alert will relate to a minor incident or a large-scale breach.

Only about 35 percent of the models on Hugging Face bear any license at all. Of those that do, roughly 60 percent fall under traditional open source licenses. But while the majority of licensed AI models may be open source, some very large projects–including Midjourney, BLOOM, and LLaMa—fall under that remaining 40 percent category. So let’s take a look at some of the top AI model licenses on Hugging Face, including the most popular open source and not-so-open source licenses.

With cybercrime costs projected to hit $10.5 trillion by 2025, securing digital assets is more critical than ever. Black box testing in security has become a key strategy for organizations to identify vulnerabilities in software and systems proactively. This blog delves into the essential role of black box security testing in mitigating risks along with its various types and techniques.
