There is no doubt about the value of conducting Managed Vulnerability Scanning. Trustwave has posted multiple blogs on the topic, (just check here, here, and here) for a look at how Trustwave approaches this very important cybersecurity procedure. One point we have not covered is exactly what kind of vulnerabilities Trustwave SpiderLabs’ analysts find during a scan. Are they truly dangerous? What would happen if the client had opted to give a pass to an MVS occurrence?

External risks, such as cyber scams, ransomware, and identity theft, often steal the limelight. Just look at the numbers: our threat lab reports that 105,571 malware attacks have been blocked daily in the last month, translating into one incident every second. However, insider threats, while more difficult to detect, can be just as damaging to organizations.

Did you know that 68% of companies that hunt threats see their overall security improve? Cyber-attacks are getting trickier and more frequent. Thousands of new vulnerabilities emerge each month, and malicious actors are using advanced techniques—like fileless attacks—to bypass traditional defenses. If you still use outdated tools, you put your company at big risk. Serious threats like ransomware can mess up your systems leaving you open to bad breaches.

One Identity’s suite of IAM solutions includes Active Roles, an AD (Active Directory) management tool designed to increase the security and efficiency of identity environments by consolidating all AD domains and Entra ID tenants onto a single console This ensures consistent enforcement of security policies through automation, enables identity data to be synchronized across the entire network, and reduces the number of accounts which have been erroneously granted access privileges.

Privileged Identity Management (PIM) safeguards and manages privilege accounts, controlling access to sensitive resources. Discover PIM’s tools features, benefits, and uses. Updated On.

Fine-grained access control (FGAC) enables precise permissions, granting or restricting access to data and resources based on detailed, condition-based policies.

When it comes to vulnerability management, many security teams opt for a simple strategy that involves tracking the number of vulnerabilities. Counting vulnerabilities produces a straightforward metric that can be monitored and reported, making it easy to compare an organization’s security posture to peers or industry benchmarks. It's also useful for compliance purposes, as some standards require reporting the number of discovered vulnerabilities.

Just days after Cyjax observed the emergence of a data-leak site (DLS) for new extortion group Kairos, DLSs for two more new English-speaking groups, Chort and Termite, have debuted.

Polymorphic viruses and polymorphic malware represent some of the most sophisticated challenges in modern business. These types of malware are designed to evade traditional cyber security measures by constantly changing their appearance making them particularly difficult to detect and eliminate.
