Mobile devices now account for more than half of all web traffic, and that number seems poised to increase over the next few years. Between the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, there are already more than 5 million applications available — and not all of them are safe. A smart mobile app security strategy can mitigate some of the threats that come from unauthorized, misconfigured, or malicious software.

Everyone remembers that one required writing class they needed to take. If you’re like a lot of other security analysts, you assumed that your job would focus on using technology, not writing research papers. However, in today’s business environment, cyber incidents are critical business events, especially as governments and agencies create more reporting requirements.

Do you know how secure your organization’s mobile devices are? You may have a handle on your on-premises device and network security, but the rise of remote employee access and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies has created new security challenges. Many organizations rely on endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to keep their traditional endpoints secure, but these solutions often don’t prioritize mobile endpoint security.

While having your own identity stolen is stressful and scary, you will likely be even more terrified if someone steals your child’s identity. Child identity theft occurs when someone steals a minor’s private information to open lines of credit, obtain loans or claim benefits in a child’s name. Based on data from Safe Home, 73% of child identity theft victims know the person who stole their identity, so it’s important to teach children strong online practices.

Smartphones and tablets can be invaluable tools in the workplace. They can also be tempting targets for cyber threats. Mobile attacks are on the rise, and outdated operating systems and misconfigured devices only exacerbate the issue. To protect your data, your users, and your organization’s digital integrity, you need a comprehensive mobile vulnerability management process.

Cybersecurity and operational resilience are paramount for organizations, especially those handling sensitive information. Three prominent compliance standards— the US CMMC 2.0, the Australian CORIE, and the EU’s DORA —address these needs in different sectors and regions. This blog will compare and contrast these standards, highlighting their unique features, similarities, and differences.

In today’s rapidly evolving global regulatory landscape, new technologies, environments and threats are heightening cybersecurity and data privacy concerns. In the last year, governing bodies have taken significant steps to enact stricter compliance measures—and more than ever, they are focusing on identity-related threats. Some notable changes include: Zero Trust is a common thread in many recent regulatory changes.

Thanks to ChatGPT, you’ve probably heard a lot about generative AI technology over the last few years. Generative AI is artificial intelligence technology that works by taking input data like a request, processing it through different algorithms, and producing an output based on learned patterns. ChatGPT is a generative AI chatbot. 91% of security teams use generative AI, but 65% don’t fully understand the implications.

Security teams are juggling 25+ different security tools that perform different actions across detection, investigation and response. Look up an IP here, send malware to a sandbox there, block an executable over there. What’s worse is that the vast majority of those actions are being performed manually. This approach is simply too slow against fast-moving attackers and malware, and it certainly isn’t sustainable.

When we think of insider threats, we often picture cybercriminals or disgruntled employees trying to break into a business. But there is a more personal, hidden danger lurking in the shadows of our daily lives—our own partners or, in most cases, ex-partners. In the heart of a relationship, trust is woven into every aspect of our lives. We share passwords, accounts, devices, and even locations without a second thought, but what happens when that trust is broken, when love turns to loss?
