OWASP’s API Security Cheat Sheet is a familiar resource for many cybersecurity leaders—often bookmarked, rarely reimagined. But what if this seemingly developer-focused reference held the blueprint for executive-level strategy? For CISOs and CFOs operating in the era of digital ecosystems and financial APIs, this cheat sheet is not just tactical guidance—it’s strategic armor.

Researchers at Certo warn that a new AI chatbot called “Veniceai” can allow cybercriminals to easily generate phishing messages or malware code. The tool, which only costs $18 per month, is growing in popularity on criminal forums. “One of the starkest contrasts between Veniceai and more mainstream AI systems like ChatGPT is how each responds to harmful or malicious requests,” Certo says.

Last year, KnowBe4's report "Exponential Growth in Cyber Attacks Against Higher Education Institutions" illustrated the growing cyber threats facing universities and colleges. The report highlighted the perfect storm of factors making educational institutions prime targets: vast data repositories, open networks, limited security resources, and decentralized governance structures.

As mobile apps become increasingly central to business operations and user engagement, securing them from design to deployment has never been more critical. Threat modeling offers an essential first step in identifying and mitigating potential security risks early in the development process. It helps you think like an attacker, spotting weaknesses before they can be exploited.

Ransomware attacks are undeniably on the rise—but just how significant is the increase? According to Bitsight CTI researchers, ransomware attacks (as measured by unique victims listed on leak sites) rose by almost 25% in 2024, and the number of ransomware group leak sites rose by 53%. Ransomware is becoming the go-to tactic for financially driven threat actors seeking quick and substantial payouts.

In today’s cybersecurity landscape, security teams face a daunting challenge: managing an ever-growing volume of risks with limited time and resources. Traditional manual risk resolution methods are no longer sufficient. They slow down response times, increase the risk of human error, and strain already stretched teams—ultimately compromising the organization’s security posture. That’s where automated risk resolution comes in.

Over the past year, India witnessed a steep rise in cyberattacks. While news focused on big-ticket data breaches and mainstream ransomware attacks, it ignored how the overall threat landscape has become more sophisticated and ingrained. India detected over 369 million malware events between October 2023 and September 2024, at a rate of 702 potential threats per minute on average.
