Yesterday, Elastic Security Labs released the 2024 Elastic Global Threat Report, a comprehensive look at more than 1 billion data points from Elastic’s unique telemetry. The report provides insights into the methods, techniques, and trends of threat actors from the perspective of defenders — giving crucial insights for security teams to prioritize and improve their security posture.

What are some of the growing cybersecurity risks in the modern software development landscape that keep CISOs busy? Developers and security teams face an ever-increasing array of threats, from sophisticated open source and vendor-controlled supply chain attacks to vulnerabilities introduced by AI-generated code like prompt injection and poor code security by GitHub Copilot.

Managing vulnerabilities across multiple domains, and especially application security, is a challenging task for enterprise organizations. Security teams often find themselves grappling with fragmented tools and data, leading to inefficiencies and potential blind spots. Seemplicity’s recent integration with Ox Security addresses this issue directly, offering a unified approach to vulnerability management that bridges the gap between security, development, and operations teams.

Human nature tells us that we’ll go for the low-hanging fruit before climbing a tree. Since threat actors are (after all) human, the same applies to them. Since databases are particularly vulnerable to many lower-level attacks, they are constantly at high risk. From misconfiguration to credential theft, these repositories of sensitive information can be preyed upon by even the most nascent cybercriminals.

MEOW ransomware is a significant cyber threat known for its disruptive activities. Unlike the infamous Conti ransomware, MEOW is a modified version that retains many of Conti’s core functionalities and encryption techniques.

Making a product and website accessible means making a site or app as usable as possible for everyone, regardless of their physical or cognitive disabilities.

As businesses continue to embrace cloud services for scalability and cost efficiency, cybersecurity is following a similar trend. To stay ahead of evolving threats, companies are increasingly adopting Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) as a comprehensive solution. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies, Managed Service Providers (MSPs) deliver Identity Security to help businesses achieve key objectives.

October not only brings with it the change of seasons, but also Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a key reminder of the need to be prepared in the face of growing cyber threats. Today, cyberattacks are constant and pose a significant risk to our world.

Support for cloud security posture management (CSPM) misconfigurations: Our enhanced CSPM tools vigilantly monitor cloud infrastructures for misconfigurations, compliance violation and security gaps, providing complete visibility into security posture early in the development cycle and saving SecOps teams time.
