How Third-Party Pixels Jeopardize HIPAA Compliance on Healthcare Websites

Third-party pixels are snippets of JavaScript embedded on healthcare websites to track user behavior — but they can unintentionally transmit PHI (Protected Health Information) to unauthorized recipients like Meta, Google, and others. Common pixel-triggered compliance issues include: Recent lawsuits and regulatory crackdowns (including FTC enforcement and OCR guidance) have made it clear: tracking technologies on healthcare websites can constitute a HIPAA breach.

API Security Testing Checklist for Developers

APIs are the backbone of modern applications, facilitating seamless communication and data exchange. However, this ubiquity makes them prime targets for cyberattacks. As developers, building robust and secure APIs isn't just a best practice; it's a critical responsibility. This blog post provides a comprehensive API security testing checklist to help you identify and mitigate API vulnerabilities, ensuring your APIs are fortified against evolving threats.

What Is FedRAMP Vulnerability Scanning? Requirements, Tools & Best Practices

For any cloud service provider (CSP) aiming to work with the U.S. federal government, understanding the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is due diligence. This government-wide initiative standardizes the assessment, authorization, and monitoring of cloud products for security.

WASA Audit Explained: Checklist, Report, and Tools

The deal’s nearly there. Legal’s reviewing terms. Then a security questionnaire lands, and suddenly, momentum stalls. Someone digs up last year’s traditional pentest report. No WASA audit. No framework mapping. Just a PDF full of severity labels with no context. It doesn’t land, and now there are more questions than answers. This guide is built for those moments.

Essential Features to Look for in a VM Solution

Your vulnerability management solution is the fuel that powers the rest of your strategic cybersecurity objectives. Put good in, get good out. That's why the vulnerability management tool you choose matters. And there are a lot of features that are necessary to protect a modern environment today that weren't on the list before. Done right, VM provides a stable foundation for cyber hygiene and regulatory compliance.

The Davidson Window: An Urgent Cyber Call to Action

In the rapidly evolving landscape of global politics and technology, the concept of the Davidson Window has emerged as a critical framework for understanding the urgency of cyber defense. As we approach 2027, the imperative to act now and bolster our cyber defenses has never been more pressing—especially considering a potential conflict with China.

AI in Endpoint Security

It’s no revelation to say that the world of connectivity has fundamentally changed since the pandemic. What may be more eye-opening, however, is how this shift has created a cybersecurity landscape more complex than ever before. Why? As companies increasingly embrace cloud computing, remote work, and BYOD (Bring Your Device) policies, endpoint security has become a critical pillar in defending against cyber threats. However, there is a challenge.

Fixing Fix Fatigue: Building Developer Trust for Secure AI Code

AI coding assistants are transforming the way developers work. With a prompt and a click, entire blocks of logic appear, boilerplate fades into the background, and velocity shoots up. But as anyone who’s integrated these tools into their daily routine can tell you, increased speed can come with increased risk. Vulnerabilities sneak in. Fixes pile up. And somewhere in the blur, developer trust begins to erode.

How CrowdStrike Traces Attack Paths to Sensitive Data in the Cloud

As organizations adopt hybrid and multi-cloud architectures, the attack surface quickly expands, often outpacing defender’s ability to see and stop threats. This growing complexity fuels risk — creating blind spots adversaries exploit through cloud misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and unpatched vulnerabilities. These conditions allow attackers to break in, move laterally, and gain higher levels of access.

C4 Bomb: Blowing Up Chrome's AppBound Cookie Encryption

In July 2024, Google introduced a new feature to better protect cookies in Chrome: AppBound Cookie Encryption. This new feature was able to disrupt the world of infostealers, forcing the malware developers to quickly modify their malware to adapt to the latest protections. In the new era of cookie protection, infostealer malware either need direct access to the Chrome process or to run with elevated privileges.
