Why IT Leaders Need DEM to Drive Success in the Hybrid Cloud Era
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, IT leaders, whether CIOs, CISOs, or VPs of IT, are responsible for driving a range of initiatives that enable business growth and success. Projects like cloud migration, hybrid workforce enablement, and SaaS adoption are now essential. However, these initiatives carry inherent risks that need to be carefully managed, especially when it comes to performance, security, and user experience.
Understanding CSRF and SSRF Attacks (Demo and Examples)
In this video, we examine two critical web security vulnerabilities: CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) and SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery). Learn about each attack, how it differs, and why it poses serious risks to web applications.
What is a Cross-Site Scripting Attack
Cross-site scripting attacks are the digital version of the mystery trope where people inject IV lines with hazardous material. In the murder mystery genre, these crimes often focus on someone who looks legitimate, sneaking malicious material into someone’s medicine to harm the patient. Similarly, a cross-site scripting attack is when a threat actor sneaks malicious code into someone’s application to harm end users.
Can Generative AI Help Identify Malware and Phishing?
How Generative AI Can Help Identify Malware? Spambrella explains how AI models add value: Generative AI models can identify malware by learning the patterns and structures typical of malicious code versus benign software. Code Generation and Analysis – By generating variations of known malware, these models can simulate potential new forms of malware, helping cybersecurity teams anticipate and defend against unseen threats.
Gen AI Guardrails: Paving the Way to Responsible AI
As artificial intelligence (AI) grows, AI guardrails ensure safety, accuracy, and ethical use. These guardrails are a set of protocols and best practices designed to mitigate risks associated with AI, such as bias, misinformation, and security threats. They are vital in shaping how AI systems, particularly generative AI, are developed and deployed.
The changing face of the incident response retainer
However, while the retainer model has evolved to meet changing security needs, not all options offer the flexibility required in today’s complex threat landscape. This article outlines how the incident response retainer has changed and continues to develop in scope, and also looks at the different types of available retainer models.
Domain Member: Digitally Encrypt or Sign Secure Channel Data
Domain Member: Digitally Encrypt or Sign Secure Channel Data is a Microsoft security setting, when enabled, ensures that all traffic to/from the secure channel is encrypted. It is a crucial component of Active Directory that's used by domain members and controllers for seamless communication. The secure channel is essentially a communication channel that allows users uninterrupted access to their user accounts in specific domains.
Magecart Attacks: Prevention Tips and Security Best Practices
Kroll has investigated many different tactics that threat actors use to steal consumer data on e-commerce sites. These types of attacks can be especially damaging for organizations that are responsible for storing customers’ personal and financial information that is collected during transactions.
Why Spatial Data Analysis Is a Key Skill for the Future
Data plays a crucial role in almost every aspect of our lives today, from guiding business decisions to helping governments make better policies. One of the most important types of data is spatial data, which refers to information connected to specific locations. Spatial data analysis involves looking at this information to understand trends, patterns, and relationships better, allowing professionals to make informed decisions that are often location-specific.
