Administrators can perform all typical Windows registry operations using either the old-good regedit user interface or the reg.exe utility. But there is another option — PowerShell. PowerShell can dramatically streamline the work of managing the registry, either on the local machine or remotely.

The security world is awash in acronyms. As a niche in the security world, vulnerability, tracking, measurement, and management is no stranger to inscrutable collections of capital letters. We’ve got NVD, CPE, CWE, CVSS, EPSS, CAPEC, KEV, and of course “CVE”. The key goal of all these frameworks is to try to help folks organize information around vulnerabilities and assess how their presence might increase an organization's exposure.

A challenging dynamic exists between the CISO and the Board of Directors. While both stakeholders focus on risk management, their approaches to risk and the language they use are notably different. Though regulations like the NIS2 directive and SEC cybersecurity disclosure rules have given CISOs a bigger seat at the table, the legal requirements and operational prioritization to meet them have exposed a difference in perspective and understanding between the two roles.

If you're a security professional like me, you're not used to your function being seen as a revenue driver for your business; you’re used to being seen as a cost center. But what if you could demonstrate that security acts as a catalyst for innovation, even leading to 20% revenue increase? Here's how a strategic security investment was not only able to help protect a business from potential threats, but also create a foundation for sustainable growth.

Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups have long been key players in global cyber espionage, and in 2024, a Chinese-linked threat cluster known as "Crimson Palace" continues to demonstrate its effectiveness. This collective of three distinct APT units has managed to breach multiple organizations across Asia, including a prominent government agency in Southeast Asia, proving their ability to evade detection and extract sensitive information.

The critical CVE-2024-40711 vulnerability in Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) is drawing attention from security researchers and ransomware groups alike. Discovered by Florian Hauser from Code White, this flaw allows attackers to take full control of enterprise systems, posing a significant threat to the integrity of data backup infrastructures. With ransomware groups historically targeting Veeam vulnerabilities, CVE-2024-40711 could soon become a valuable tool for cybercriminals.

Organizations’ security operations (SecOps) programs are under increased pressure due to more sophisticated threats, a continually expanding attack surface, and strained internal resources. To help solve these challenges, BlueVoyant MDR delivers 24x7 threat monitoring, detection, hunting, and response powered by advanced automation and human expertise.

In the dynamic landscape of data security, navigating the complexities of modern architectures requires a sophisticated approach. The exponential growth of data and the proliferation of cloud services require advanced security strategies that can adapt to rapidly changing conditions. Traditional methods of data protection, while foundational, often fall short in addressing the needs of today’s fast-paced cloud environments.

CVE-2024-40766 is a critical (CVSS v3 score: 9.3) access control flaw. Its primary danger comes from the potential for providing unauthorized network access, both allowing attackers unfettered access to critical resources and, in some cases, giving attackers the ability to crash the firewall.

Almost a decade after their emergence, Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) finally went mainstream in 2024. Their MO? To compete with, and in some cases replace native apps. To do this, PWAs promise to combine the best features of web and native mobile apps, delivering seamless, reliable, and engaging experiences across all devices and platforms. Cross-platform compatibility, direct distribution, cost and maintenance advantages – it all sounds very alluring.
