In the world of security, every second counts. A shorter mean time to detect (MTTD) translates to less damage, increased customer trust, and a greater likelihood of securing cybersecurity support. An important factor in achieving this rapid response is the power of an intuitive and user-friendly interface.

You can ensure data integrity in your organization by enabling data encryption, investing in a password manager, regularly backing up your data and implementing strict access controls. Data integrity ensures that your data is accurate and complete, meaning it hasn’t been changed, removed or stolen by an unauthorized user. Continue reading to learn why data integrity is important and how your organization can ensure your data is accurate, complete and consistent.

CUPS is a suite of programs and daemons that provide local and network printing capabilities on Unix-like systems such as Linux and macOS. Versions before and including 2.0.1 are vulnerable to CVE-2024-47076 (libcupsfilters), CVE-2024-47175 (libppd), CVE-2024-47176 (cups-browsed) and CVE-2024-47177 (cups-filters), all of which can be chained together to allow remote unauthenticated code execution. At this time there is no updated version available.

In 2024, you should avoid several Facebook Marketplace scams, including those related to mobile payments, gift cards, stolen items and rental properties. Facebook Marketplace is part of Facebook and it allows you to buy or sell items from local individuals or small businesses. Since some Facebook Marketplace transactions occur online, there are various ways you could fall victim to these types of scams.

The OWASP Top Ten lists have been the cornerstone for application security best practices for over two decades. The 2019 list was the first edition of the OWASP API Security Top 10. The latest, OWASP API Security Top 10 2023, gives our security and engineering teams a glimpse of attack vectors that are becoming more common. With that in mind, it also helps our security teams to ensure that they have adequate coverage for security testing.

Despite significant investments in cybersecurity tools like Identity and Access Management (IAM), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), and Data Loss Prevention (DLP), insider risks continue to grow. Why? These tools primarily focus on actions, logs, and event recognition rather than taking a deep, sophisticated approach to understanding human behavior over time. Insider threats—whether from negligence, malicious intent, or compromised users—are notoriously difficult to detect.

Identity-based cyber attacks continue to prevail and impact organizations. Stealing credentials was the top initial action in breaches, according to Verizon. Plus, 84% of identity stakeholders surveyed said identity-related incidents directly impacted their business, resulting in reputational damages, distraction from core business, and increased recovery costs.

It cannot be denied that the rise of remote work has opened up many opportunities for both employers and job seekers. Despite this, however, it has also presented a plethora of challenges when it comes to recruiting in the cybersecurity and tech spaces, one of the most notable of which is the proliferation of candidates who either don’t exist entirely or who aren’t who they claim to be.

The speed at which vulnerabilities are detected and addressed can drastically impact an organization’s likelihood of suffering a security incident. Recently, Bitsight demonstrated how its investments in product fingerprinting and CVE mapping allowed it to identify and surface assets potentially impacted by a set of critical vulnerabilities in the CUPS printing system in under 24 hours.

When it comes to security, organizations often consider themselves well-covered. But in today’s landscape, where cybersecurity threats evolve at breakneck speed, even the most well-prepared teams cannot afford to have testing gaps. The reality is that if your primary strategy for removing security testing gaps is tightening scanning policies or expanding penetration test scope, you are trying to patch a dam with bubble gum. Is your attack surface covered?
