How Generative AI Can Help Identify Malware? Spambrella explains how AI models add value: Generative AI models can identify malware by learning the patterns and structures typical of malicious code versus benign software. Code Generation and Analysis – By generating variations of known malware, these models can simulate potential new forms of malware, helping cybersecurity teams anticipate and defend against unseen threats.

However, while the retainer model has evolved to meet changing security needs, not all options offer the flexibility required in today’s complex threat landscape. This article outlines how the incident response retainer has changed and continues to develop in scope, and also looks at the different types of available retainer models.

Welcome to the Threat Context Monthly blog series where we provide a comprehensive roundup of the most relevant cybersecurity news and threat information from KrakenLabs, Outpost24’s cyber threat intelligence team. Here’s what you need to know from October.

Data is the backbone of the financial services industry. Each transaction, interaction, and record hold sensitive information. This can be attacked by both internal and foreign attacks. In today’s highly regulated world, financial institutions must make considerable efforts to safeguard their data and comply with regulations such as GDPR, PCI DSS, SOX, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).

As Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2024 draws to a close, let’s take a few minutes and cover one more topic. The need to be cybersecurity aware 24/7/365. Attacks happen all day every day so having cybersecurity as a top-of-mind subject for just a month out of the year means that for the other 11 months, attackers have the advantage. Here are just a few reasons organizations and their employees need to remain hyper vigilant.

Cybercriminals are offering tools to help phishing pages avoid detection by security tools, according to researchers at SlashNext. “Anti-bot services, like Otus Anti-Bot, Remove Red, and Limitless Anti-Bot, have become a cornerstone of complex phishing operations,” the researchers write. “These services aim to prevent security crawlers from identifying phishing pages and blocklisting them.

Each October, the cybersecurity industry recognizes Cybersecurity Awareness Month, an international initiative first launched by the National Cybersecurity Alliance in 2004 to provide education about online safety and empower individuals and businesses to protect their data from cybercrime. This October, Keeper Security took this important commemorative month one step further. We decided that it’s time to move from knowing digital risks to taking decisive action to prevent damaging cyber attacks.

Since data breaches are becoming more common and online threats are always changing, strong encryption methods are needed to keep private data safe. NSA Suite B Encryption is one of these standards. It was made by the National Security Agency (NSA) to provide a group of safe cryptographic methods. These algorithms are very important for keeping private information safe in many areas, such as the government, the military, and the private industry.

Yes, Venmo is generally safe to use; however, there are always risks when using the mobile payment app. Some risks you should be aware of include Venmo scams, account compromises and data breaches. Typically, people use Venmo to pay friends back when they owe money or split the bill at a restaurant. Although Venmo allows you to send and receive money, it is much safer to use the app when transactions are made with people you know and trust.

The publication of the final program rule for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program, 32 CFR Part 170, in the Federal Register on October 15, 2024, was an important milestone toward ensuring the confidentiality of sensitive defense information and stemming the theft of that information by foreign adversaries. The rule becomes effective and the CMMC Program comes into existence on December 16, 2024.
