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.

A new zero-day vulnerability, CVE-2024-38856, has been discovered in the Apache OFBiz open-source enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform, presenting a critical threat to businesses worldwide. This pre-authentication remote code execution (RCE) flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to exploit weaknesses in OFBiz’s request handling, leading to unauthorized access and potentially damaging control over affected systems.

With 1Password Extended Access Management, customers can now require users to secure unencrypted SSH keys on their devices by importing them into 1Password before they can access sensitive company data.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the need for a robust and intelligent assistant capable of analyzing, summarizing, and reacting to events is paramount. This is why we designed Sysdig SageTM, our large language model (LLM)-based cloud security analyst, to be an expert in cloud detection and response (CDR). Sysdig Sage excels at summarizing complex events and providing clear explanations, which is crucial for identifying and promptly reacting to potential threats.

Illuminate 5.1.0 is now available, bringing substantial improvements to our compliance capabilities. This update represents a significant step forward, with NIST 800-53 as the cornerstone of our compliance framework. Let’s explore the key features and improvements implemented to support your organization’s security and compliance needs. Important Note: To run Illuminate 5.1.0, your environment must run Graylog 6.0 or higher.

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), published by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is a widely used set of guidelines for mitigating organizational cybersecurity risks. It contains recommendations and standards to help organizations identify and detect cyberattacks and advice on how to respond, prevent, and recover from cybersecurity incidents.
