As many of us know, there are a lot of guides and information on penetration testing applications on Windows and Linux. Unfortunately, a step-by-step guide doesn’t exist in the macOS domain to help us through the penetration testing process. This means we had to spend even more time searching the web and experimenting with different tools and techniques to find the most effective approach for our testing.

You’re reading the CyberArk blog (and we thank you for that), so you’re likely familiar with the name Theresa Payton. The cybersecurity visionary, first female White House CIO, best-selling author and founder and CEO of Fortalice Solutions is a powerful industry voice, blending her frontline cybercrime fighting experience with cutting-edge insights to help organizations safely navigate the evolving threat landscape.

While generative AI offers powerful tools for cyber defenders, it’s also enabled cyber attackers to innovate and up the ante when it comes to threats such as malware, vulnerability exploitation and deep fake phishing. All this and we’re still just in the early days of the technology.

ChatGPT knows a lot about Len Noe, CyberArk’s resident technical evangelist, white hat hacker and biohacker. The biohacker piece of his title is a nod to the fact that Noe is transhuman (you might call him a cyborg and be right), which is why his grandkids call him “Robo Papa.” ChatGPT knows all of this.

Global organizations – and the data they collect and use on a daily basis – exist today both within and beyond the traditional physical boundaries of countries. They may have cloud infrastructure that spans the world, but local laws and regulations can still have a big impact on how data needs to be stored and accessed, even if it’s in the cloud.

Ransomware accounts for one in every four breaches, and increasingly, it’s going after enterprise macOS users.

For more than 30 years, we’ve been living in a world where one of the most widely-used applications is the web browser. Despite being designed primarily for consumer use, browsers have become essential to how enterprises operate – serving as the connective tissue between identities, applications and data. And yet, despite all of the advancements leading to today’s digital and cloud-centric world, one of the least secure applications is … the browser.

Diana Kelley, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Protect AI joins host David Puner for a dive into the world of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), exploring the importance of privacy and security controls amid the AI Gold Rush. As the world seeks to capitalize on generative AI’s potential, risks are escalating.

While IT executives understand the essential role privileged access management (PAM) solutions play in their organization’s overall security strategy, they’ve also continued to ask their PAM administrators to do more with less resources. To meet these additional asks, PAM admins have automated routine PAM tasks using scripts. PAM automation scripts can significantly lessen the burden on PAM admins and enable organizations to scale PAM usage across their entire enterprise.

The prolonged period of low-capital costs and widely available funding may be over, yet digital adoption persists as business leaders seek to unlock efficiencies and innovation everywhere. This is driving exponential but often unsecure identity growth in the enterprise and putting existing levels of cyber debt at risk of compounding as investment in digital and cloud initiatives continues to outpace cybersecurity spend.
