With Artificial Intelligence (AI) becoming more pervasive within different industries, its transformational power arrives with considerable security threats. AI is moving faster than policy, whereas the lightning-quick deployment of AI technologies has outpaced the creation of broad regulatory frameworks, raising questions about data privacy, ethical implications, and cybersecurity. This gap is driving regulators to intervene with guidance in creating standards that reduce the risks.

According to the filing, the organization in question failed to devise controls to adequately detect, respond to, and disclose an attack that included data exfiltration and service disruption. Back in 2021, R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co.

The relentless battle against cyber threats continues, and CVE-2024-30078 stands as a stark reminder of the ever-present need for vigilance. A critical vulnerability (CVE-2024-30078) has been identified in Wi-Fi drivers for various Microsoft Windows versions. This flaw allows attackers within Wi-Fi range to remotely execute malicious code (RCE) on vulnerable systems. Immediate patching is recommended.

IoT devices are ubiquitous in our daily lives—whether it’s at home with connected home automation devices, or at work with connected factories, hospitals, and even connected cars. According to data-gathering and visualization firm Statista, there was an estimated 15.9 billion IoT devices in use in 2023, and that number is expected to climb to more than 32.1 billion in 2030.

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a comprehensive program to enforce conformance with the NIST 800-171 security controls for non-government organizations handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The program has a three tiered requirements structure based on the nature and sensitivity of information an organization handles.

Network Access Control (NAC) has undergone significant advancements since the beginning, continuously adapting for cybersecurity threats and technological innovation. As organizations embrace BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and IoT/OT (Internet of Things/Operational Technology), vendors have transformed traditional NAC solutions to meet these new demands while maintaining a balance between usability and security.

Paris is the place to be, hosting events like Vogue World and Tour de France. Unfortunately, where there’s a lot of people, there are plenty of scammers.

A question that all small, security-conscious organisations face is: “What's next?” They know that their antivirus (AV) is not enough. AVs detect malware through a combination of signatures, heuristics, and integrity checking. However, an AV cannot detect malware that is encrypted or that mimics trusted applications or insider threats, such as an employee exfiltrating client data to a third party. More than half of all detected malware now evades AV solutions.

In our interconnected online world, the security of applications and the data they process is essential. Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) plays a critical role in enhancing application security by offering valuable insights into potential threats, vulnerabilities, and the overall security posture of an organization.

A new report focused on cyber espionage actors targeting government and critical infrastructure sectors highlights the strategic use of ransomware for distraction or misattribution. It was inevitable: a threat group using a secondary attack type to cover their tracks – whether those “tracks” are the groups true intent, who’s responsible – or to simply make some additional money after they’re done with the initial attack.
