Trustwave SpiderLabs’ upcoming report, the 2025 Trustwave Risk Radar Report: Hospitality Sector, will be released on May 21 and will delve into the latest threat landscape, highlighting critical vulnerabilities and offering actionable insights to help hospitality businesses stay secure. The report notes that the hospitality industry has become a prime target for cybercriminals, with threats growing in volume and sophistication.

One of the primary challenges with developing in the cloud is knowing which areas of your environment are vulnerable to risks. In order to efficiently identify and respond to legitimate risks, you need real-time visibility into security events. But traditional security platforms are costly and often standalone, which means they may create gaps in visibility.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) was established to protect patient privacy and secure health information. While it has been around for nearly two decades, it is evolving to keep up with an increasingly digital world and in response to the skyrocketing number of cyber attacks the industry sees every year.

When people hear "supply chain attack," their minds often go to headline-grabbing breaches. But while analysts, CISOs, and journalists dissect those incidents, a more tactical and persistent wave of attacks has been unfolding in parallel; one that's laser-focused on small businesses as the point of entry. This isn't collateral damage. It's by design.

Privileged accounts are the keys to every organization’s kingdom. Protecting them isn’t optional. After all, the fallout of a breach can affect almost every part of the business. From leaking sensitive information and intellectual property, to fines and reputational damage from non-compliance or lack of governance.

In AI, as with so many advancing technologies, security often lags innovation. The xAI incident, during which a sensitive API key remained exposed for nearly two months, is a stark reminder of this disconnect. Such oversights not only jeopardize proprietary technologies but also highlight systemic vulnerabilities in API management. As more organizations integrate AI into their operations, ensuring robust API security has never been more critical.

Today, the average phishing email that lands in your CEO's inbox is flawless. It uses perfect grammar, contains an intimate understanding of your organization’s current business landscape, and ends with an urgent, contextually relevant request. This isn't the work of a typical cybercriminal; it's the hallmark of generative AI being weaponized, transforming social engineering from a numbers game into a targeted strike.

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), is an online community that produces free, publicly available articles, methodologies, documentation, tools, and technologies in the field of web application security. Open source components have become an integral part of software development. According to Mend’s Risk Report, 96.8% of developers rely on open source components.

In today’s interconnected world, data has become the lifeblood of business success, driving innovation, customer engagement, and operational efficiency. As organizations embark on rapid digital transformation, the proliferation of cloud computing and mobile devices, stringent privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA, and the rise of disruptive technologies like AI all play a key role in guiding the direction.

For years, cybersecurity has been chasing a future where passwords no longer exist. And yet, here we are in 2025—still resetting them, reusing them and getting breached because of them. The reality is this: despite all the talk about passwordless authentication, we still live in a password-dependent world. Credentials remain the No. 1 attack vector.
