Passwords a necessary evil: Are we ready for a passwordless world?

For decades, passwords have been the gatekeepers of our digital lives. From logging into emails and banking apps to accessing social media and workplace systems, passwords have been the standard tool for authentication. Yet, as cyberattacks grow in sophistication and frequency, and as users juggle dozens of complex logins, it's clear that passwords are not only inconvenient, but they are increasingly insecure.

Coinbase's $400 Million Wake-Up Call: Why DLP Must Monitor Behavior, Not Just Content

In May 2025, Coinbase disclosed a data breach that exposed nearly 70,000 customer records—not through a sophisticated external attack, but through bribed customer service agents. The cryptocurrency exchange refused a $20 million ransom demand and instead pledged that amount toward catching those responsible. One arrest has been made in India, but the incident highlights a fundamental problem in modern security: your people can become your greatest vulnerability.

Data Exfiltration Prevention: 5 Best Practices for Modern Security Teams

The security landscape has shifted dramatically. Employees now work across dozens of applications, browsers, and devices—often using personal accounts alongside corporate ones.

The Rise of DLL Side-Loading Cyber Attacks and Browser Data Theft

Content originally created and published by Venak Security. Cybercriminals are increasingly adopting stealthy and advanced techniques, notably Dynamic-Link Library (DLL) side-loading and browser memory scraping, to install malware that stealthily harvests users’ passwords, credit card data, cookies, session tokens and more. These attacks blend social engineering, search manipulation and memory-level exploitation to bypass traditional defenses and compromise victims at scale.

USB Drive Security Best Practices to Protect Your Data

I’ve seen more data breaches caused by USB drives than you think. Not fancy hacks. Not nation-state attacks. Just people moving files quickly because they had to get something done. A USB drive feels harmless. It’s small, familiar and fast. You plug it in, copy a file, unplug it and move on. That’s exactly why it’s dangerous. USB flash drives and external storage devices carry the most valuable data an individual or organization owns. Contracts. Client records.

New Research Exposes Critical Gap: 64% of Third-Party Applications Access Sensitive Data Without Authorization
