7 Types of exposures to manage beyond CVEs

As cybersecurity leaders try to get ahead of threats to their organization, they're increasingly seeking ways to get off the hamster wheel of chasing countless CVEs (common vulnerabilities and exposures). The brass ring that most CISOs reach for today is prioritization of exposures in their infrastructure (and beyond), so their teams can focus on tackling the ones that present the greatest risk. In some cases, the highest priority exposures will still be critical CVEs on mission critical assets.

Deepfakes: The Next Frontier in Digital Deception?

Machine learning (ML) and AI tools raise concerns over mis- and disinformation. These technologies can ‘hallucinate’ or create text and images that seem convincing but may be completely detached from reality. This may cause people to unknowingly share misinformation about events that never occurred, fundamentally altering the landscape of online trust. Worse – these systems can be weaponised by cyber criminals and other bad actors to share disinformation, using deepfakes to deceive.
