Vulnerability management programs attempt to identify and correct software vulnerabilities before they pose a significant threat to an organization’s cybersecurity. To learn more about how to design and implement a vulnerability management program, check out these resources: This article describes the tools that an organization will need to implement an effective vulnerability management program.

7 hours. That’s how long, on average, a developer takes to remediate a security issue in their code. Vulnerability detection is improving rapidly and scaling, but remediating security risks is still a tedious, time-consuming process that takes developers away from their core work. And now, with AI-generated code introducing vulnerabilities at greater speed and volume than ever before, remediation is taking even more time.

Netskope Threat Labs publishes a quarterly summary blog post of the top threats we track on the Netskope platform. This post aims to provide strategic, actionable intelligence on active threats against enterprise users worldwide.

A black hat hacker is a cybercriminal who accesses your computer systems and network without your knowledge to steal data, disrupt systems and extort money. Black hat hackers try to take advantage of an organization’s security vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to software, systems and networks. Once they gain access to an organization’s data, black hat hackers may hold the data for ransom or sell it to other businesses or cybercriminals.

By collecting, analyzing, and leveraging data from security events, security analytics empowers teams to proactively detect anomalies and pinpoint vulnerabilities to mitigate targeted attacks, insider threats, and advanced persistent threats (APTs).

From power grids and water systems to transport networks and healthcare facilities, critical infrastructure has become a key target for cyber attacks in recent years, such as US utilities suffering a 70% year-on-year increase in cyber attacks this year. The reason for targeting critical infrastructure is clear: they often use outdated software and the attacks have an outsized disruptive impact.

AI code generators are revolutionizing the way developers write and maintain code. These advanced tools leverage machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) to significantly boost productivity, improve code quality, and enhance security. However, they can sometimes introduce subtle vulnerabilities if not carefully monitored. With generative AI, software developers can complete coding tasks up to x2 faster.

Today, we’re thrilled to announce Jit’s certified integration with Wiz! This partnership will make it easier than ever for developers to consistently resolve security issues before production, and for security teams to unify and prioritize the top risks in production – effectively bridging the gap between the core objectives of ASPM and CNAPP. We believe that securing apps in the cloud has been overcomplicated by tool sprawl, alerting noise, and a disjointed UX for developers.

Halloween-themed spam and phishing emails have surged over the past two months, with a significant increase beginning in October, according to researchers at Bitdefender. “Bitdefender’s telemetry indicates a sharp rise in Halloween-themed spam throughout September and October,” the researchers write. “However, Halloween-themed spam rose 18% percentage points between 1-16 October 2024, compared to the entire month of September.

As a parent, you always want to protect your child from risks, including those that could jeopardize their well-being and safety. Getting your own Social Security number (SSN) stolen is stressful enough, but when your child’s SSN is compromised, you will want to act quickly to protect their identity. According to data from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), 3% of all identity theft reports in the first half of 2024 were for children 19 years old and younger.
