With the growing number of security frameworks, acronyms, scoring systems, benchmarks and more, it’s often hard to understand how each frameworks differs, how and where they come into play with regards to modern cloud native systems. More than anything, how do we actually operationalize these frameworks to derive engineering benefits?

In 2023, based on wire fraud statistics nearly a quarter of consumers received suspicious communications, which may have occurred over text, email, phone, or social media. Of those who interacted with the sender, one in twenty consumers fell victim to wire fraud, which begins over electronic channels. That same year, consumers lost a reported $10 billion to fraudulent activities, a significant portion of which began as wire fraud.

As we KEEP do more and more work around the world for corporations, government departments and CNI providers we’re seeing a recurring and worrying trend; Blind Faith. Whilst some of this may be cultural, it can no longer be used as justifiable reasoning for the failure to secure core assets, understand the possible threats or at least implement basic protections. Why?

Vulnerabilities are a major risk for organizations, and a major attack vector for threat actors. There were over 29,000 vulnerabilities published in 2023, amounting to over 3,800 more common vulnerabilities and exposure (CVEs) identifiers being issued last year than in 2022. But that doesn’t mean these most recent vulnerabilities are the only ones in a threat actor’s toolbox.

Browser security is a set of measures and processes intended to protect users and their data when using web browsers. This includes mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access, safeguard against malicious software and other browser security threats, and ways to protect the privacy of online activities.

With $109.5 billion of growth expected between now and 2030, the global AI cybersecurity market is booming – and it's not hard to see why. According to a recent survey of security professionals, three-quarters (75%) have observed an increase in cyberattacks. Of these, the research found that an even greater proportion (an overwhelming 85%) blamed AI.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is widely recognized as an important control to make our accounts more secure by providing protection beyond just passwords. When MFA is enabled, we tend to think our accounts are safe from unauthorized access — but what if we said it's time to rethink this belief?

As businesses embrace remote work and the transformation to the cloud, the need for robust identity management is key. But what exactly is cloud identity management, and why is it critical? Essentially, cloud identity management orchestrates identity and access management (IAM) in cloud environments and supports the shifting of authentication and authorization processes to the cloud.
