Are you getting the results you want from your application security (AppSec) program? Discovering the return on investment (ROI) is a great start, but how should you go about calculating that? That’s where our recently commissioned Total Economic Impact (TEI) study conducted by Forrester Consulting comes in. We’re thrilled and deeply grateful to share these customer stories with you.

If you're a security professional like me, you're not used to your function being seen as a revenue driver for your business; you’re used to being seen as a cost center. But what if you could demonstrate that security acts as a catalyst for innovation, even leading to 20% revenue increase? Here's how a strategic security investment was not only able to help protect a business from potential threats, but also create a foundation for sustainable growth.

Over the past few months, our development team at SecurePortal has diligently worked on a major upgrade to our access control system. In this significant update, we have revolutionised how organisations can manage and restrict access within the portal. By empowering organisations with permissions to regulate and customise visibility for specific groups, we offer the flexibility to create new groups, duplicate existing ones for customisations, and seamlessly assign users to these tailored groups.

On September 10, 2024, Ivanti released fixes for CVE-2024-29847, a maximum severity vulnerability in Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM). This flaw, found in the agent portal of specific EPM versions, allows Remote Code Execution (RCE) by an unauthenticated attacker due to improper deserialization of untrusted data.

In 2023, 60% of incidents investigated by Arctic Wolf Incident Response involved the exploitation of a two- (or more) year-old vulnerability. These vulnerabilities were well known, and the affected organizations had anywhere from months to years to patch them prior to an incident occurring.

In the dynamic landscape of data security, navigating the complexities of modern architectures requires a sophisticated approach. The exponential growth of data and the proliferation of cloud services require advanced security strategies that can adapt to rapidly changing conditions. Traditional methods of data protection, while foundational, often fall short in addressing the needs of today’s fast-paced cloud environments.

One of the most evasive and hardest threats to detect are in memory frameworks using malleable command and control (C2) beacons to hide in benign traffic. They enable attackers to get in and remain invisible with hidden reconnaissance, discovery, C2, and data exploitation.

The adoption of cloud services, hybrid workforces, the rapid emergence and use of generative AI (genAI) along with the evolving regulatory environment are forcing security and risk management (SRM) leaders to enhance their SRM spending. Gartner forecasts global SRM spending to grow 14% in 2024. Moreover, worldwide end-user spending on SRM is projected to total $215 billion in 2024, an increase of 14.3% from 2023, according to a new forecast from Gartner, Inc.
