Let’s talk technical debt. It’s that silent, creeping problem many of us have faced—those quick fixes and shortcuts we took to keep things running smoothly. They accumulate over time, leaving us with a tangled web of outdated systems and patchwork solutions. In cybersecurity, this isn’t just a minor annoyance—it’s a ticking time bomb. So, what’s technical debt consolidation?

As more and more companies adopt low-code platforms and launch AI applications, the need for proper data security has never been greater. While it’s true that low-code platforms give users the freedom to develop powerful AI solutions with minimal programming knowledge or experience, this same level of flexibility also inadvertently exposes applications to potential data breaches.

AI has completely changed how we live, work and play. With its unparalleled efficiency, ongoing learning abilities and its detailed precision, it makes short work out of what used to be more complex and cumbersome tasks. Although AI systems are incredibly powerful and only growing in capacity and scale, they’re not without their challenges. Like other types of programs and infrastructures, AI is not immune to vulnerabilities and security issues.

In February 2023, LastPass, a leading password manager service, disclosed a security breach that reminded us just how severe SaaS breaches can be. The intrusion involved a targeted attack against a DevOps engineer accessing the corporate vault, underscoring the consequences of inadequate access controls and security practices.

You can securely share your WiFi password with Airbnb guests by using a password manager. A password manager is an online solution that lets you create, store, protect and share login information for apps and online accounts. Password managers keep your information safe by storing it in an encrypted, digital vault. As an Airbnb host, you should use a password manager like Keeper because you can securely share your WiFi password for a limited time with each of your Airbnb guests.

Since starting my internship at Keeper Security, I’ve had the opportunity to enter into the world of cybersecurity, particularly surrounding the role of password management. This eye-opening experience has not only educated me on the dangers of an unprotected online presence, but it’s also encouraged me to follow cybersecurity best practices in my personal and academic life.

Last year, Sysdig outlined our vision for an AI-driven cloud security assistant. Today, we are excited to announce Sysdig Sage for cloud detection and response (CDR), our new release that embodies our vision. Built upon the core principles we introduced, Sysdig Sage offers actionable insights for cloud environments, with a focus on CDR.

Each July, my family and I take a road trip from Kentucky back to my hometown in northwestern Pennsylvania to spend time on Lake Erie. As tradition dictates, we stop along I-71 for coffee at a branch of a certain coffee shop, which also happens to be my former employer as a teen. (Let’s call it Siren Coffee.) This year, we sat waiting in the drive-thru for a drip coffee for a full 10 minutes.

Ransomware attacks continue to pose a growing threat to organizations as it has emerged as the number one threat, affecting 66% of organizations in 2023 and pulling over $1 billion from the victims. These attacks have increased in frequency and sophistication, resulting in significant financial loss, operation disruption, theft of sensitive data, and reduced productivity rates. Also, it damages the organization's reputation and results in the loss of customer trust and compliance violations.
