When it comes to managing your cloud infrastructure, picking the right platform can make a big difference in how smooth, scalable, and cost-effective your operations are. Two of the top contenders in this space are OpenStack and VMware. Both offer powerful tools for handling virtualized environments, but they suit different needs and preferences. Knowing the key differences between them is essential to help you make the best choice for your organization’s goals and technical needs.

Windows Installers (.msi files) are a known vector of malware distribution. Although not quite common, they have been used by threat actors to distribute malware of all sorts. During July 2024, the Cyberint Research Team noticed somewhat of an uptick in the usage of malicious.msi files. Among the various samples we noticed a specific variant of malicious installer being actively used in the wild, disguised as legitimate applications or update installers and targeting Korean and Chinese speakers.

NIST has long been an important acronym in the world of cybersecurity, where organizations have for years used the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to help guide their security investments. But the practices and controls associated with NIST have evolved recently, due to the release of NIST 2.0. If you’re stuck in the era of NIST 1.x, it’s time to adapt.

As modern cyberattacks increasingly target cloud environments, it is imperative organizations have the technology they need to detect and stop them. The attack surface of cloud-native applications and infrastructure is quickly expanding. Cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPPs) address the growing need for modern cloud security monitoring, security posture management, breach prevention and control tools to fully protect cloud environments.

Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user or system. It is a critical component of security, ensuring that only authorized individuals or entities can access sensitive information or systems. There are several methods of authentication, including knowledge-based factors (something you know, like a password), possession-based factors (something you have, like a security token), and inherence-based factors (something you are, like a fingerprint).

It has been only one year and nine months since OpenAI made ChatGPT available to the public, and it has already had a massive impact on our lives. While AI will undoubtedly reshape our world, the exact nature of this revolution is still unfolding. With little to no experience, security administrators can use ChatGPT to rapidly create Powershell scripts. Tools like Grammarly or Jarvis can turn average writers into confident editors.

Shared Responsibility Models, NIS2, DORA, or SOC 2 & ISO audits, accidental deletions, and the evolving threat landscape in SaaS apps confirms that DevOps Security becomes a priority. CISOs and DevOps teams need to meet halfway to secure data processed across GitHub, GitLab, and Atlassian, without compromising agility and efficiency. However, finding this middle ground is not an easy task.

The best ways to keep your sensitive data safe include using strong passwords for each of your online accounts, backing up your data regularly and investing in a password manager. Your data is important and should be protected to reduce the risk of identity theft and other cyber threats. Continue reading to learn what is considered sensitive data, how to protect your sensitive data and how Keeper can help.

The main differences between Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are the type of user activity they secure and the way in which they secure it. While RBI protects users against web based threats by providing privacy and security through isolating browsing activity from the user’s device and network, VPNs encrypt data and mask the user’s IP address for all internet traffic. This article will examine these differences in more detail.
