You wouldn’t drive a car that hasn’t been serviced in a decade. So why are you still trusting a legacy SIEM solution? The world of cybersecurity is in a constant state of flux, and your security information and event management (SIEM) needs to keep up. If you’re not regularly reassessing it, you might as well roll out the red carpet for hackers. Let’s discuss when and why you should seriously consider giving your SIEM a much-needed check-up.

With Latin America facing an unprecedented increase in claims for unrecognized credit and debit card transactions, banks and card issuers are directly feeling the impact of fraud and cyber-attacks that are growing more sophisticated by the day. Recent regulations have been implemented across Latin America to address a variety of payment fraud, including an unprecedented surge in claims of unrecognized transactions involving debit, credit and financing products.

In the dynamic world of private equity (PE), the ultimate goal is clear: maximise the value of portfolio companies to achieve strong returns on investment. Achieving this requires a multifaceted approach, where operational efficiency, financial growth, and strategic direction are all essential components. However, one often-overlooked aspect that can make or break the success of these investments is operational resilience.

Cybercrime and ransomware are a way of life, with almost-daily news about new data breaches. 2024 set a record for the largest ransomware payment ever made. According to Forbes, the ransomware group the “Dark Angels” extracted $75 million, the single largest known ransomware payment ever made. And it is only getting worse. This is why we’re adding to our managed security services and trying to make it easier for our customers to combat online threats.

Adobe has recently addressed a critical vulnerability in its Acrobat Reader software, urging users to update immediately. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2024-41869, is a "use after free" vulnerability, which could allow attackers to execute malicious code remotely through specially crafted PDF files. This article explores the nature of this exploit, its discovery, and the urgency behind updating to the latest version.

Hackers are increasingly targeting exposed Selenium Grid servers, hijacking them for cryptomining and proxyjacking activities. Selenium, an open-source browser automation tool widely used for web application testing, has become a valuable target for cybercriminals. As these servers often lack proper security measures, threat actors are seizing the opportunity to leverage them for their own gain.

We recognize that federal agencies face a wide range of cyber threats in today’s hybrid and cloud work environment, which requires securing multiple endpoints. From nation-states to organized crime groups, adversaries are looking to steal data at the highest levels of government, and the stakes have never been higher. Protecting sensitive information, ensuring national security and safeguarding public trust all hinge on effective cybersecurity strategies.

A password generator is an online tool that automatically creates strong, random passwords at the click of a button. To create unique passwords, a password generator combines a variety of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols. Password generators dramatically ease the process of creating strong passwords by automatically producing random, lengthy ones – two qualities that make passwords more challenging for cybercriminals to crack.

Application security is the combination of tools, practices, and policies that are used to protect the application layer of software from threat actors. Once something of an afterthought, application security is now widely and rightfully recognized as a vital part of the software development life cycle (SDLC). As the complexity of technology increases, considering application security early and often in the SDLC is imperative to keeping data and resources from falling into the wrong hands.

Phishing remains the favored and most successful method of obtaining an initial foothold in a targeted organization. So it should come as no surprise that threat actors have developed turnkey solutions that enable even low-skilled hackers to conduct successful email attacks.
