Navigating Security Concerns: Microsoft Copilot's Integration with Microsoft 365

There are so many exciting things happening in the AI space currently. One of them is the integration of Microsoft Copilot, a generative AI, with Microsoft 365 applications. This fusion brings Copilot’s capabilities into the suite’s comprehensive office productivity tools to transform daily workloads and enhance productivity efficiency through the automation of mundane tasks, alongside offering insights and analyzing data. Key features include.

Elastic Security evolves into the first and only AI-driven security analytics solution

In our previous installation, we discussed the history of security information and event management (SIEM) solutions — from collection to organizational detections and finally to response and orchestration. Now, we are firmly in the SIEM 3.0 revolution and focused on applying generative AI to every applicable process in the security operations center with tremendous success.

Breaking the Cloud to Build the Cloud

There’s no such thing as a perfectly secure cloud environment. Vulnerabilities, holes left open by misconfigurations, over-permissive roles, and more create a target-rich environment for attackers. Breaking the cloud for good is the job of these expert hackers. View this panel session to learn about offensive security techniques and tactics for breaking the cloud to build the cloud better.

Cloud Detection and Response Has Evolving, Cloud-Scale Challenges

In our previous post, we explored the essentials of cloud detection and response (CDR), highlighting how the cloud's scale and complexity have transformed cybersecurity needs. We discussed the types of threats unique to the cloud and the broad benefits that CDR systems offer to organizations aiming to secure their cloud environments. This follow-up takes us deeper into some of the challenges that arise with detecting and responding to threats in the cloud.

Beyond One-Size-Fits-All: Why You Need Security Tailor-Made for Mobile

It's an undeniable truth that significant differences exist across many facets of life. Sports figures like LeBron James and Michael Jordan possess exceptional talent, which has propelled them to accomplish feats that defy human capability. Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk's extraordinary business achievements make them the epitome of success and a source of inspiration for many. These examples underscore a crucial point: Some things are just better than others.

AI-Assisted Phishing Attacks Are on the Rise

Threat actors are increasingly using generative AI tools to improve their phishing campaigns, according to a new report from Zscaler. “AI represents a paradigm shift in the realm of cybercrime, particularly for phishing scams,” the researchers write. “With the aid of generative AI, cybercriminals can rapidly construct highly convincing phishing campaigns that surpass previous benchmarks of complexity and effectiveness.

Salt Security Addresses Critical OAuth Vulnerabilities Enhancing API Security with OAuth Protection Package

OAuth is an important part of modern authorization frameworks, granting access to resources across different applications easily. However, vulnerabilities in OAuth implementations can create significant security risks. Following research released by Salt labs that uncovered critical vulnerabilities in the world's most popular authorization mechanism, Salt has released a multi-layered protection package to detect attempts to exploit OAuth and proactively fix the vulnerabilities.

5 Best Open Source Application Security Security Tools in 2024

As cybersecurity becomes increasingly important in software development, the “shift left” security approach is widely recognized as a best practice for ensuring superior application security. Numerous traditional security firms are introducing shift-left products and capabilities, and the concept is gaining traction. However, some open source application security tools are more developer-friendly than others.

The What and Why of Cloud Detection and Response

A recent survey from Gartner forecasts that worldwide end-user spending on public cloud services will total $679 billion in 2024, and that number is expected to jump to $1 trillion in 2027. Businesses left and right are moving to the cloud. But as they make their move, the old ways of protecting data—like building a virtual wall around your data (“perimeter security”)—are proving inadequate.
