Beyond its fundamental port scanning capabilities, Nmap offers a suite of advanced techniques designed to uncover vulnerabilities, bypass security measures, and gather valuable insights about target systems. Let's take a look at these techniques.

With the growing volume of data and increasing cost of breaches, organizations must find ways to manage and protect their ever-expanding datasets. To address this escalating threat landscape, Rubrik and CrowdStrike have joined forces to redefine cyber defense, with several integration points between our platforms. This partnership is not about bolting on more security tools; rather, it's about gaining more leverage out of what customers already have.

With the growing number of security frameworks, acronyms, scoring systems, benchmarks and more, it’s often hard to understand how each frameworks differs, how and where they come into play with regards to modern cloud native systems. More than anything, how do we actually operationalize these frameworks to derive engineering benefits?

As we KEEP do more and more work around the world for corporations, government departments and CNI providers we’re seeing a recurring and worrying trend; Blind Faith. Whilst some of this may be cultural, it can no longer be used as justifiable reasoning for the failure to secure core assets, understand the possible threats or at least implement basic protections. Why?

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Let me get straight into it and start things off with what a checksum is to be inclusive of all audiences here, from Wikipedia : “A checksum is a small-sized block of data derived from another block of digital data for the purpose of detecting errors that may have been introduced during its transmission or storage. By themselves, checksums are often used to verify data integrity but are not relied upon to verify data authenticity.”

Imagine you’re up against the world’s most advanced adversaries — those that use automation and AI, can drop malware in seconds and break out from compromised endpoints to navigate target environments in just over two minutes. This is a day in the life of a CrowdStrike SOC engineer.

The SEC cybersecurity disclosure rules have put a spotlight on the issue of cybersecurity within organizations. The core of the rules and related guidance can be found in the article “Assess Your Readiness Now for the SEC Cybersecurity Disclosure Rules.“ The SEC cybersecurity disclosure rules should help build momentum around the importance of governance and risk management, relevant expertise, and timely incident disclosure that are fundamental to cybersecurity programs.

Vulnerability remediation is the process of identifying weaknesses and design flaws in your applications, prioritizing findings based off of the level of risk they pose, and then performing appropriate actions to resolve them. Options for vulnerability remediation include remediating (fixing) an issue, ignoring it (when it is not risky enough to merit the resources needed to fix it), or applying compensating controls to help counteract the risk posed by the vulnerability.

The Life Sciences industry relies heavily on navigating massive volumes of data securely and efficiently to advance drug development and fuel new innovations in Research & Development (R&D). However, decentralized data and inconsistent metadata classification can hinder scientists from locating information, verifying quality, and reproducing findings, thereby, slowing down drug development timelines.

The healthcare industry, which is entrusted with people’s most sensitive data, is no stranger to cyber-attacks and breaches. This is supported by statements made on behalf of the American Hospital Association revealing that healthcare cyberattacks in 2023 affected more than 100 million people.
