Innovation and regulation are two important factors that have a significant impact on the growth of any industry, including information security. The question of whether regulation inhibits or inspires innovation is a contentious one, and there are compelling arguments on both sides.

The idea that digital resilience — the ability to prevent, detect, respond to and recover from disruptive events — is critical to digital business would surprise no one. As the Splunk report Digital Resilience Pays Off illustrates, organizations that are farther along on their digital resilience journey enjoy $48 million lower annual downtime costs and 2 times higher digital-transformation project success rate than their less digitally resilient peers.

Imagine doing business in a bubble. You are an international company only allowed to make decisions using data collected within your country and by your business unit (BU). You also cannot share data with subsidiaries or third parties. It would be challenging to conduct day-to-day business, let alone innovate and grow.

First observed in 2019 and advertised (Figure 1) as a ‘Malware-as-a-Service’ (MaaS) threat on various cybercriminal forums, Raccoon is an information stealer targeting victim credentials and cryptocurrency wallets.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) is a type of vulnerability that involves manipulating user interaction with a web application to compromise a user's browser environment. These vulnerabilities can affect many web apps, including those built with modern frameworks such as Django. Since XSS attacks are so prevalent, it's essential to safeguard your applications against them. This guide discusses how XSS vulnerabilities originate in Django apps and what you can do to mitigate them.

Developing software requires immense focus on functionality and especially on its security. According to Intrusion Inc. cost of cybercrimes is increasing at a rapid speed and will cost around USD 10 Trillion. In addition, HackerOne has also issued a report, defining an increase of 65,000 vulnerabilities in different applications and development platforms. In addition, 50% of hackers don’t even report the vulnerability and take advantage for an extended period or until you patch it.

AT&T is a massive telecommunications company with its headquarters in Dallas, Texas.
