Developers simply want to write code without interruption, while operations wish to build as fast as possible and deploy without restrictions. On the other hand, security professionals want to protect every step of the software supply chain from any potential security threats and vulnerabilities. In software development, every piece of code can potentially introduce vulnerabilities into the software supply chain.

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.

The need for the Development of Online Reliable Sources (DORA) arises from the increasing concern over the spread of misinformation on the internet. DORA aims to promote fact-checking and address the detrimental effects of fake news in today's society. In recent years, the proliferation of fake news has had a profound negative impact on individuals and communities alike. False information spreads rapidly, causing confusion, division, and mistrust among people.

Researchers at Trustwave warn that a phishing campaign is distributing malware via HTML attachments disguised as invoices. Notably, the HTML files abuse the Windows Search protocol to launch Windows Explorer and trick users into installing the malware. “Trustwave SpiderLabs has detected a sophisticated malware campaign that leverages the Windows search functionality embedded in HTML code to deploy malware,” the researchers state.

At the end of May 2024, the largest ever operation against botnets, dubbed Operation Endgame, targeted several botnets including IcedID, SystemBC, Pikabot, Smokeloader, Bumblebee, and Trickbot. This operation significantly impacted the botnets by compromising their operations and shutting down their infrastructure. Although Latrodectus was not mentioned in the operation, it was also affected and its infrastructure went offline.

Cloud breaches continue to rise unabated as organizations adopt hybrid cloud strategies. Many organizations have tried to simply extend their preexisting on-premises security into the cloud, but the cloud is a fundamentally different environment for security. It’s faster, more complex, and more dynamic, with an ever-increasing attack surface. Striking first means adversaries have a head start by default, leaving organizations only a fraction of time to investigate and initiate a response.

Over the years, several security defense architectures have merged into a single solution. Endpoint detection tools can perform sophisticated detections and correlations that used to require a Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS), Web Proxy, and SIEM. Application Firewalls often provide features like Proxy, antivirus, and NIDS, and now we have Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), which promises to be the next multi-tool security solution. Let’s give SASE a closer look.

You might already know a fair bit about r2frida by now - its definition, usage, features, installation, and examples - something we discussed in the previous blog of this series. In case you missed out on it, you can find it here. In this blog, we will explore how r2frida can be instrumental in manipulating an iOS app's runtime.

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.
