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.

Every day, in a high-stakes race against the clock, protectors must hunt down and stop threats before damage is done. As adversaries work faster and smarter, protectors must operate with greater agility. But legacy SIEMs are holding them back. Designed decades ago when log volumes and adversary speed were a fraction of what they are today, legacy SIEMs hinder investigations with agonizingly slow search speeds.

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.

Credential stuffing is shaping up to be one of the most predominant hacking methods of 2024. In early June, Ticketmaster fell victim to a data breach via credential stuffing, exposing information from 560 million customers. Credential stuffing attacks involve using stolen usernames and passwords to access accounts. In these attacks, threat actors also often use automation to try different combinations of credentials until they find a successful match.

The platform approach in cybersecurity is gaining traction. However, it’s becoming clear that two very different models of platformization are in play. In this piece, we’ll talk about platformization in cybersecurity, the two major approaches to security platforms, and what it all means for the future of cybersecurity.

Let’s keep it real: security compliance often makes your DevOps team feel strained. This burden spans multiple security sub-domains, such as information, network, and endpoint security, and specific security configurations, such as Identity and Access Management (IAM). Restraining budgets and ambitious expansion plans make it even more tempting to brush security under the rug until it becomes a challenge too big to ignore.

To qualify for cybersecurity insurance, organizations must implement strong access controls, have an incident response plan, use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), provide employees with security training, regularly perform penetration tests and use encryption to protect sensitive data. Continue reading to learn more about the six cyber insurance requirements and how your organization can meet them.

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.

The Digital Operational Resilience Act(DORA), introduced by the European Union, will come into effect in the financial sector from January 2025. Its purpose is to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework to assist financial institutions in effectively addressing and managing cybersecurity threats. DORA will have a significant impact not only on the financial industry but also on its IT service providers.

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.
