Qilin operates as an affiliate program for Ransomware-as-a-Service, employing a Rust-based ransomware to target victims. Qilin ransomware attacks are often tailored for each victim to maximize their impact, utilizing tactics like altering filename extensions of encrypted files and terminating specific processes and services.

Prompted by a new era of cyber-attacks surging downtime and data breaches, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) regulation came into force on 17th of January to reshape how organisations approach security, privacy and cybersecurity. Cybercriminals are becoming increasingly daring and creative, with an expected rise in the exploitation of new vulnerabilities in 2025.

In 2024, ransomware continues to be the most prevalent form of cyber-attack, affecting three out of four organisations, according to Veeam. The increasing frequency and sophistication of these attacks are driven by easy access to ransomware kits on the dark web and the significant profits cybercriminals generate through extortion schemes.

If you’re not familiar with Entra, you might still think of it as “the artist formerly known as Azure Active Directory.” While its roots lie in being a cloud-based Active Directory (AD), Entra has evolved far beyond that. The name change reflects its expanded capabilities, making it much more than just AD. Many of our customers leverage Microsoft 365 or other Azure services that rely on the Entra platform.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) has rapidly become a foundational security strategy for organizations modernizing their IT infrastructure. The increasing distribution of users, devices, and applications makes traditional security measures inadequate. Several solutions offer cloud-based brokers to implement ZTNA, but it’s crucial to understand that these solutions are not created equal. Let’s explore why Cato Networks’ cloud-based ZTNA solution distinctly stands apart.

In financial services, trust is everything. Clients trust you with their data, their money, and their future. But that trust can vanish overnight—especially when a cybersecurity incident exposes weak governance or regulatory non-compliance. In today’s threat landscape, financial institutions are more than just attractive targets for cybercriminals—they’re often the most regulated, most scrutinized, and most unforgiving places for a security slip.

Cyberattacks on supply chains in 2025 have become more frequent and severe, moving from isolated incidents to major multi-sector crises. These crises involve data theft in software patches, ransomware disrupting food, pharmaceutical, and financial pipelines. As attackers target vendors as entry points, defensive measures must adapt. This includes enhanced vendor vetting, code provenance controls, firmware security, and robust third-party risk response.

Laravel APP_KEY leaks enable RCE via deserialization attacks. Collaboration with Synacktiv scaled findings to 600 vulnerable applications using 260K exposed keys from GitHub. Analysis reveals 35% of exposures coincide with other critical secrets including database, cloud tokens, and API credentials.

You are the CISO of a mid-sized enterprise that is experiencing rapid growth, i.e., your security stack is becoming increasingly complex by the month, compliance auditors are asking more challenging questions, and your board wants measurable proof that security investments are actually reducing risk. Meanwhile, attack vectors are evolving daily, and your current risk assessments consistently lag behind.

The move to remove PowerShell 2.0 from Windows 11 is strategic and long overdue. Microsoft is making this move to embrace modern, secure, and efficient system tools. PowerShell 2.0 has many inherent security issues tied to the deprecated framework and its reliance on deprecated encryption & validation protocols.
