This transition has gone smoothly for most organizations, but many security gaps still remain years later. The SolarWinds data breach is a worrying example. It shows how vulnerable organizations are to malicious activity in our changing risk environment.

Automation has revolutionized the way cybersecurity functions. Not only has it led to significant time savings, but it has also improved the consistency and accuracy of various processes. Here, we will discuss how to effectively record the time saved from automation to demonstrate its value. Tines offers great utilities to easily record the time an analyst has saved by automating manual, repetitive tasks over the course of a day, right down to the second.

The JFrog Security Research team recently discovered a new malware payload in the PyPI repository, written in C#. This is uncommon since PyPI is primarily a repository for Python packages, and its codebase consists mostly of Python code, or natively compiled libraries used by Python programs. This finding raised our concerns about the potential for cross-language malware attacks.

The risk of supply chain attacks increases as more companies rely on third-party vendors and suppliers for critical services and products. Supply chain attacks have become increasingly prominent in recent years. In 2022, for instance, supply chain attacks surpassed the number of malware-based attacks by 40%.
