When engineering teams move their workloads to the cloud, it’s often possible that sensitive data—such as credit card numbers, login credentials, and personally identifiable information (PII)—unintentionally moves to the cloud with them. To secure this data, avoid costly breaches, and meet GRC requirements, these teams often catalog where this data is stored and establish the right controls to limit access.

‍The evolution of the cyber risk management landscape is constant, and with each passing year, market players find themselves in the position of having to readjust their strategies, whether in brand positioning, cybersecurity, or beyond, to account for these consequent changes. While some of the shifts are welcome, others are less so. Nevertheless, all require careful foresight.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions are essential for safeguarding valuable data. They scan traffic to prevent the transmission of sensitive information such as credit card details and personal identifiable information (PII) such as Social Security Numbers (SSNs). However, traditional DLP solutions are often complex to configure, manage, and operate.

Encryption is widely used for security purposes because it prevents unauthorized third parties from accessing and disseminating private data. Backups are no exception and are often a target of data breaches. As part of a data protection strategy, you can implement encryption as an additional layer of security for your backups.

The Internet of Things (IoT) and Operational Technology (OT) are revolutionizing industries such as healthcare, agriculture, and industrial automation, connecting devices on a new scale. However, with these benefits come unique cybersecurity challenges. Traditional IT security practices alone are no longer enough to safeguard complex IoT/OT ecosystems. To address the increasing risks, collaborative efforts are essential.

SCB 10X, the disruptive technology investment and innovation arm of SCBX Group, has launched Rubie Wallet, a digital wallet application designed to facilitate seamless QR payments using USDC and THBX (Thai Baht Stablecoin). Its key activation will be for foreign visitors attending DevCon 2024 in Bangkok. The stablecoin was developed in collaboration with Elliptic, Circle, Base, SCB, and InnovestX, with Fireblocks providing Wallets-as-Service infrastructure for the platform.

In today's cybersecurity landscape, controlling access to USB drives is critical, particularly for organizations looking to maintain compliance with regulations like NERC CIP and bolster their security posture. Unauthorized USB usage poses significant risks, from data exfiltration to malware injection. However, restricting USB access entirely isn't always practical. Instead, organizations can implement solutions that monitor and manage USB usage effectively.

API attacks can be costly. Really costly. Obvious financial impacts like legal fines, stolen finances, and incident response budgets can run into the hundreds of millions. However, other hidden costs often compound the issue, especially if you’re not expecting them. This article will explore the obvious and hidden costs of API breaches, their long-term business impacts, and how you can communicate the importance of API security to business stakeholders and decision-makers.
