For Canadian businesses that process, store, or transmit credit card information, PCI DSS compliance isn’t optional—it’s mandatory. Yet, many companies misinterpret key requirements or overlook crucial steps, leaving themselves vulnerable to data breaches, fines, and reputational damage. This article explores the most common pitfalls organizations face with PCI DSS in Canada and outlines how to build a more secure, compliant environment.

Stablecoins have moved beyond early experimentation, as Fireblocks’ State of Stablecoins 2025 report shows. Based on insights from nearly 300 C-suite executives across banking, fintech, and crypto-native firms, the findings indicate a clear shift from pilot programmes to operational deployment. In Europe, that shift is unfolding with measured intent—driven by regulatory clarity, infrastructure readiness, and a clear focus on competitive positioning.

According to our 2025 State of the Underground report—in which we take a look back at cybercrime on the deep and dark web from the past year—384 unique varieties of malware were sold in 2024, an increase from 349 in 2023. To determine this number, our research team examined malware and hacking tools for sale on the top three criminal forums, and as a result, we found that Remote Access Trojans (RATs) were the second most common form of malware in 2024, just behind stealer malware.

If you recognize the benefits that fuzz testing can bring to your software security but are new to it, read on. In this blog post, you’ll learn what you need to consider before implementing fuzz testing in your company to ensure a smooth and successful adoption. So, you’ve chosen the light side and decided to find and fix bugs in your code before they become a problem. Well done, and congrats!

Have you ever been on a tight deadline, and suddenly, your organization’s core services go dark because a TLS certificate expired without warning? It’s a nightmare scenario no team wants to face. Now, picture this happening eight times more often. Starting in 2029, every public TLS certificate will have a maximum lifespan of just 47 days. Compared to today’s 398-day validity, this represents a seismic shift in digital security practices. And the ripple effects will be hard to ignore.

Application security has evolved far beyond traditional vulnerability management (VM). Today, security teams face massive scale, increasing complexity, and a constant flow of vulnerability findings that often vanish in hybrid and cloud-native environments. We’ve moved from managing a single virtual machine to dealing with an unlimited number of containers and ECS tasks, many of which only exist for about 15 minutes.

Mike Wilkes has had a career many cybersecurity professionals could only dream of. An adjunct professor, former CISO of Marvel and MLS, member of the World Economic Forum, drummer, and board member at the National Jazz Museum in Harlem, his interests and achievements are as eclectic as they are impressive.

Cyber threats are becoming more advanced, with attackers creating ways to bypass traditional security. That’s why organizations need a stronger, multi-layered approach to protect their systems. To handle cyber threats effectively, security teams need clear, consistent information. That’s where CVEs help—by making it easier to manage hidden risks. And how can organizations enhance their cybersecurity capabilities with CVE data along with deception technology?

If your organization handles United States federal government data in cloud environments, it’s often a requirement to use FedRAMP-authorized solutions. The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) provides consistent standards for protecting unclassified data that passes between the federal government and privately owned third parties.
