The distribution systems of the U.S. energy grid — the portions of the grid that carry electricity to consumers — are growing more susceptible to cyber-attacks, in part due to the advent of monitoring and control technology and their reliance on them. However, the magnitude of the possible consequences of such attacks is not fully understood.

The political and economic uncertainty throughout the world today is growing. The danger of malicious hacking is increasing as more and more parts of daily life simultaneously transition to the digital realm. An attack on another country or region by a state or an individual could have catastrophic results. Possible targets include utilities like power plants and communications networks.

It’s a rare treat when you get the opportunity to speak with someone who has worked as an ethical hacker, has also worked in top secret military settings, and then transferred to the private sector, rising to the highest cybersecurity level in the corporate chain. We had the opportunity to speak with Brian Haugli, CEO of SideChannel. Brian is also the author of a book about the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.

Network security is a broad field, encompassing various processes, policies, rules, standards, frameworks, software, and hardware solutions. Its primary goal is to protect a network and its data from various threats, including intrusions and breaches.

For most people, January 28th is the 28th day of the year.

A 22-year-old suspected of being "Seyzo", a member of the ShinyHunters cybercrime gang, has been extradited from Morocco to the United States, where - if convicted - he could face up to 116 years in prison.

With so many companies currently reducing their workforce, jobs scams have become a serious and widespread problem for those who are looking for work. Stories from people who came across these scams on LinkedIn talk about scammers asking for their IDs, possibly to commit identity fraud or theft.

For the past several years we’ve all been sold the benefits of moving to Zero Trust, and it’s worked. We’re sold. But what now? At this point, companies have decided to embark on a long and committed journey – Zero Trust (ZT) isn’t built in a day. Keeping a clear eye on the finish line is necessary to maintain enthusiasm and buy-in as ZT architecture is put into place, divisions are shuffled around, and resources are fortified.

In the world of cybersecurity, the spotlight often shines on protecting applications, networks, and individual accounts. Application programming interfaces (APIs), on the other hand, present their own set of challenges to secure. APIs account for a significant portion of internet traffic and handle massive amounts of information from a wide variety of programs and applications; consequently, they make for an appealing target in the eyes of cybercriminals.
