Configuration management is vitally important as part of a sound cybersecurity strategy. We have previously published how patching alone is not enough, as that does not alter a system’s customized configuration. Misconfigurations can be as damaging to security as a deliberate attack on a system.

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) have profoundly transformed the internet's fabric. In the pre-API era, digital interactions were limited by siloed systems functioning in isolation. APIs dismantled these barriers by introducing a universal language that diverse applications could comprehend. This linguistic bridge facilitated an unprecedented level of interconnectivity between software entities.

OAuth (Open Authorization) is one of the fastest adopted technologies in the AppSec domain. From its first introduction in 2006, as an attempt to introduce a standard authorization protocol, it has become one of the most popular protocols for both user authorization and authentication, and it’s being used by almost every major web service and website today. One of the reasons for its huge popularity is its ease of implementation.

Today’s modern IT environment is complex and challenging for organisations to navigate. Not only has the threat landscape evolved, but we are seeing more compliance and regulation as well as ongoing economic pressures. This is all putting additional strain on already resource-stretched internal IT teams.

Staying ahead of the cybersecurity curve can feel like running a marathon uphill, and the right SIEM is key to leveling the playing field. Smarter SIEM solutions have emerged from the cloud to address the changing demands of today’s security operations. Unlike legacy SIEMs, which were designed for on-premises deployments and have limited scalability, more innovative next-gen solutions offer cloud-native SaaS models that provide greater flexibility and scalability.

Picture this: Your CEO comes into your office and asks, “What’s our security posture, and where’s our greatest area of risk? I’m particularly worried about this new emerging threat group. What defenses or detections do we have around that?” You: “…” Enter the MITRE ATT&CK® framework and Devo’s MITRE ATT&CK Adviser app—built to help you tell the business where your risks are and what it would take to address them.

The right SIEM can make or break your SOC. While there are a lot of security solutions and platforms for you to choose from, ask yourself–how will they make life in your SOC better than before? If you make the right choice, you’ll empower your SOC to work more efficiently, more effectively, and more proactively. As you do your research and consider which SIEM is right for you, make sure it checks these boxes. Your analysts will thank you.

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, organizations face an ever-increasing array of risks and compliance challenges. As businesses strive to adapt to the digital age, it has become imperative to enhance their Governance, Risk Management, and compliance (GRC) strategies. Fortunately, the fusion of artificial intelligence (AI) and GRC practices presents a transformative opportunity.

The October 2023 Okta breach is the latest example in a long line of third-party identity attacks. Based on reports to date, it seems that the attack on Okta’s support case management system enabled a threat actor to launch downstream attacks into other companies. So far, 1Password, BeyondTrust and Cloudflare have publicly confirmed they were targeted. Such attacks don’t discriminate and pointing fingers is unproductive.

You can protect your financial accounts online by using strong passwords, updating your software, avoiding suspicious links and attachments, reducing your digital footprint and turning on financial alerts. Protecting your financial information is important to prevent identity theft and credit card fraud from happening to you. Identity theft can be emotionally draining and leave you financially bankrupt.
