Google has issued a security advisory to owners of its Android Pixel smartphones, warning that it has discovered someone has been targeting some devices to bypass their built-in security. What makes the reported attacks particularly interesting is that traditional cybercriminals may not be behind them, but rather "forensic companies" exploiting two vulnerabilities to extract information and prevent remote wiping.

New data shows that the attacks IT feels most inadequate to stop are the ones they’re experiencing the most. According to Keeper Security’s latest report, The Future of Defense: IT Leaders Brace for Unprecedented Cyber Threats, the most serious emerging types of technologies being used in modern cyber attacks lead with AI-powered attacks and deepfake technology. By itself, this information wouldn’t be that damning.

APIs are foundational to modular application development. They support an organization’s internal services as well as provide a mechanism for customers to access certain services or datasets for their own applications. Because of the role that both internal and public-facing APIs play in applications, they are considered one of the top targets for threat actors.

Get Free Mobile Application Penetration Testing Checklist Even though iOS and Android come with robust security features, like secure data storage and communication APIs, they only work well if they’re set up right. That’s why thorough mobile app penetration testing is vital—to ensure these features are correctly integrated and protect your data effectively.

Going to a vendor's Knowledge Base (KB) is often the first place practitioners go to get the product deployed or troubleshoot issues. Even with advanced search tools, historically, KBs have been challenging to find relevant content quickly, and navigating a KB can be frustrating. At Salt Security, not only do we want to make your job of securing APIs easier, but we also want to make getting the guidance you need easier, friendlier and more efficient.

In the dynamic landscape of today’s digital age, companies face an array of challenges — from heightened security concerns and the proliferation of devices, to the complexities of managing distributed workforces spanning multiple time zones and native languages. Navigating these issues becomes even more daunting when the tools available to IT admins and managed service providers (MSPs) are spread across an array of point solutions.

In the rapidly evolving AI landscape, the principle of least privilege is a crucial security and compliance consideration. Least privilege dictates that any entity—user or system—should have only the minimum level of access permissions necessary to perform its intended functions. This principle is especially vital when it comes to AI models, as it applies to both the training and inference phases.

In this guest blog post, Marcus Hallberg and Attila Dulovics, senior security engineers at Spotify, share a Tines workflow they built to create identity federation between GCP and AWS. As modern organizations continue their journey into the cloud, they face the complex reality of a mix of cloud providers and on-premise infrastructure. This often happens due to acquisitions being made, necessary partner integrations, or other business and technical requirements that create a multi-cloud setup over time.

What’s good for business is often bad for security. That’s the inescapable conclusion of the 1Password State of Enterprise Security Report this year.
