Home is where the Wi-Fi is, and where your network can be the target of network attacks. Although many of us know the importance of creating strong passwords to protect our email, social media, online banking, etc., few people apply the same practice to their Wi-Fi passwords. Using the default password provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) might seem convenient, but it has risks.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has a long and storied history. Ancient Greeks, for example, told stories of Talos, an enormous automaton that stood guard over Crete’s shores. In the 17th century, Gottfried Leibniz, Thomas Hobbes, and René Descartes explored the possibility that all rational thought could be as systematic as algebra or geometry.

In early April this year, the UK's Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) released its Cybersecurity Breaches Survey 2024. It provides a comprehensive overview of the UK's cybersecurity landscape, exploring the different cyberattacks and cybercrimes businesses, charities, and private sector educational instructions face, the impacts on these organizations, and how they respond. The report is a valuable resource for the cybersecurity community.

Phishing is not going away—it’s morphing and evolving. As an example, in late 2022 the overnight commodification of artificial intelligence (AI) changed the phishing threat landscape forever, lowering the barrier to entry for novice fraudsters who had previously had the motives, but lacked the means to launch sophisticated scams. ChatGPT and fraud-specific Generative AI tools (like the aptly named FraudGPT and WormGPT) granted malefactors the ability to supercharge and scale their operations.

In a world with frequent technological changes, maintaining the trustworthiness and protection of your data and systems should be of paramount importance. With technology constantly evolving for the better, dangers and susceptibility could also make your online security more extraordinary. This is where the issues of network security and application security appear, which may be referred to as two complementary subtopics.

The transportation industry is not only part of critical infrastructure, but at the nexus of other critical infrastructure sectors that rely on transportation systems to operate reliably. When threat actors put this fundamental function at risk, there’s a ripple effect that disrupts individuals, businesses, government and supply chains.

Monitoring user activity on your critical endpoints is a vital part of an effective cybersecurity strategy. Organizations need to monitor both remote and local user sessions to ensure user accountability, manage cybersecurity risks, enable prompt incident response, and comply with relevant cybersecurity laws and regulations. This is a step-by-step guide on how to monitor user activity in Linux and record remote SSH sessions on any endpoint with the Ekran System software agent installed.

Artificial Intelligence is becoming an integral part of our work. It helps us be more productive by automating tasks, analyzing, and boosting the speed of our work. Due to the desire to accelerate work and make it more efficient, SaaS providers integrate AI into their software. For example, Atlassian in 2023 announced Atlassian Intelligence, a combination of state-of-art OpenAI models and the power and data within the Atlassian platform.

In the world of cybersecurity being proactive is a necessity. Cyber threats loom large, and only those who dare to innovate, lead, and push boundaries can truly make a difference. That’s why it’s no surprise that our very own Jess Parnell, has been named the CISO of the Year in the 2024 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards.
