Threat actor groups maintain dark web shame sites to negotiate ransoms with their victims, name them, and leak their data as punishment for not paying. These sites serve as a major tool for threatening victims and securing ransom payments but are not a precise record of global cyber attacks. However, there’s a lot to learn from the dark web behavior observed in the first half of this year to help contextualize the current threat landscape.

High availability may be top of mind for your organization, and if not, it really should be. The cost range of an unplanned outage ranges from $140,000 to $540,000 per hour. Obviously, this varies greatly between organizations based on a variety of factors specific to your business and environment. You can read more on how to calculate the cost of an outage to your business here: Gartner.

In this blog post, we will explore how the computer security landscape has expanded to reach below the operating system levels, aiming to address areas that are often overlooked or completely neglected in cybersecurity. Attackers have discovered techniques to establish long-term persistence in compromised hosts by injecting malicious code to run before the operating system loads in areas commonly referred to as Basic Input Output System (BIOS).

The term artificial intelligence is used to describe an IT system’s simulation of human intelligence processes, such as the ability to adapt, solve problems or plan. Artificial intelligence systems cover several of these features at present and, with the advent of ChatGPT, their use has become widespread in everyday life. However, this has also resulted in organizations exploiting the term "artificial intelligence," seeking to capitalize on its appeal.

Researchers at Trustwave are tracking an increase in the use of QR codes to spread phishing links. “Being open-source, QR code generators have become accessible to anyone with access to the internet,” the researchers write.

With the goal of achieving robust and efficient data management, one cannot overlook the prowess of Rubrik Secure Cloud (RSC), a platform encapsulating a comprehensive suite of GraphQl APIs. As many organizations trust both Rubrik and ServiceNow for their operational needs, blending these two systems creates a potent synergy.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently announced a ruling aimed at enhancing public companies’ cybersecurity risk management, strategy, governance and incident disclosure. To sum it up, companies must report cyberattacks within four days of determining an incident is “material” and divulge details about their cybersecurity programs annually.

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) are data communication protocols for the internet. HTTPS uses encryption algorithms for secure data transfer. Without encrypted communications, information transfer is not protected and sensitive data becomes vulnerable to attackers. This article includes a brief overview of HTTPS, as well as actions you can take to ensure that you have set up HTTPS redirection for your website.

The most common types of cyberattacks are phishing, variations of password attacks, malware, spoofing, supply chain attacks, DDoS attacks, identity-based attacks, IoT attacks and insider threats. Continue reading to learn more about what these cyberattacks are and how to keep yourself protected from them.

In the world of digital assets and blockchain-driven solutions, security is the utmost priority for organizations across the globe. While numerous multi-party computation (MPC) providers vow to offer best-in-class security and service, what truly sets them apart is the underlying cryptographic proofs and infrastructure. Given the consequences a security breach can lead to, it is crucial to make informed decisions when evaluating an MPC wallet provider.
