Our experts at Gen observed a 100% increase of ransomware activity quarter over quarter.

Data security is becoming a monumental challenge for businesses and individuals as we all try to manage and protect our data online. We maintain a balance of security, privacy, and backups to protect our information and that of others. Businesses must navigate complex regulations alongside data breach protection to mitigate the risks of cyberattacks and financial loss with complex cloud infrastructures and disaster recovery methods.

For security leaders, staying vigilant and prepared is like wielding a well-crafted spellbook. OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK, and threat research are the critical chapters in this spellbook that leaders need to leverage to anticipate and counter emerging threats effectively, because you can’t afford for your organization to be ensnared by threats that could have been foreseen.

Because cyber dangers are always changing, businesses are moving toward safer and more proactive ways to keep their data and networks safe. Zero Trust Security is one of these frameworks that is becoming more popular. It is based on the idea of "never trust, always verify." Zero Trust constantly checks and authorizes every user and device before letting them access sensitive data or systems. This is done instead of thinking that internal users or devices are reliable.

Based on our reading, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), is at a fundamental level, a transformative ICT challenge. DORA makes the speed and accuracy of security threat detection and response a board-level concern. Fail to stop, classify and report on cyber incidents accurately and, from 2025 onwards, your organisation could face a fine of 1% of global turnover.

Blind Cross-Site Scripting is a type of Cross-Site Scripting attack in which the injected script is executed in the context of another page and different circumstances compared to the page in which it was inserted. Blind XSS differs from regular XSS attacks as the attacker cannot see the effect of the injected script in his or her browser since the script is executed in a place that the attacker can not access.

AI Agents have become indispensable in modern enterprises, driving efficiency, innovation, and competitive advantage. These agents, which can perform tasks ranging from simple automation to complex decision-making, are transforming how businesses operate. The adoption of AI agents is widespread, with companies leveraging them to enhance customer service, streamline operations, and gain insights from vast amounts of data.

Adware continues to be the most widespread on-device malware, with new variants popping up in the PlayStore and older ones picking up steam.

Once upon a time, a username and a password were all you needed to get into most online accounts. It was convenient for users — but also convenient for hackers, who only had to acquire two static strings of characters to get unlimited access to a system until their victim (or their victim’s IT department) realized something was up.

In artificial intelligence (AI), especially within natural language processing (NLP), tokenization is a fundamental process that breaks down text into smaller, manageable units known as tokens. Depending on the specific task and model, these tokens can be individual words, subwords, characters, or even symbols.
