Imagine for a moment that your home has a rodent problem. To address this, you install a fancy system designed to automatically detect and trap animals before they can roam around your house and cause any damage. The system seems to work well; from time to time, you arrive home to find a mouse or a squirrel caught by the device. No big deal, right? Lots of small critters about and the system is working as designed to catch them.

An insider threat occurs when a legitimate user of an organization’s systems intentionally or accidentally puts the organization’s data at risk. These threats can have a devastating impact on a company’s data, reputation, and bottom line. Insider threat hunting has become essential to proactively identify and mitigate these risks before they escalate into full-blown security incidents.

The GSM Association, which stands for the Global System for Mobile Communications Association and is known more commonly as the GSMA, developed the Security Accreditation Scheme (SAS), a security standard and audit-based certification program that addresses various aspects of eSIM production and management. ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer now supports GSMA compliance for mobile operators and companies within the mobile ecosystem.

Organizations often face different forms of cyberthreats and cyberattacks, and attackers try to get their hands on confidential data which would result in major loss of reputation, customer’s information, etc. So, organizations should implement networking tools to secure their data.

The Command Cyber Readiness Inspection(CCRI) is a comprehensive cybersecurity evaluation and assessment conducted by the United States Department of Defense (DoD). A CCRI serves as a formal inspection aimed at enhancing accountability and bolstering the security posture of DoD Information Networks in alignment with DoD standards, with a specific focus on Command, Mission, Threat, and Vulnerability.

Generative AI (GenAI) tools like ChatGPT have already become indispensable across organizations worldwide. CEOs are particularly enthusiastic about GenAI’s ability to let employees “do more with less”. According to the McKinsey Global Survey on the State of AI in 2024, 65% of organizations already use GenAI tools extensively, and Gartner forecasts that this number will reach 80% by 2026.

In the fast-paced world of cybersecurity, every second counts. When an API attack occurs, the speed at which your security team can detect, understand, and respond to the threat can mean the difference between a minor incident and a major data breach. This is where Mean Time to Resolve (MTTR) comes into play. MTTR is a key performance indicator (KPI) that measures the average time it takes to resolve a security incident, from the moment it's detected to the point where it's fully mitigated.

Earlier this year, we introduced the advanced certification within Tines University, a new way for our users to deepen their understanding of the platform and build more effective workflows. And I’m thrilled to report that user feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Over 100 users have already completed the new advanced certification, raising the total number of Tines-certified users to over 500.

In a major breakthrough against cybercrime, the FBI, in collaboration with international partners, successfully disrupted the Dispossessor ransomware operation, seizing its servers and websites. This operation, which involved agencies from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany, marks a significant step forward in the global fight against ransomware.

A newly drafted United Nations treaty aimed at combating global cybercrime has sparked significant debate due to its potential implications for technology companies, privacy rights, and digital freedoms. The UN Convention Against Cybercrime, which advanced from committee to the General Assembly on August 8, 2024, could require nations to enforce stringent laws against unauthorized access to information systems and data interception, raising alarms among privacy advocates and cybersecurity experts.
