In the modern world, data is a precious asset. That means malicious actors will go to great lengths to get their hands on your organization’s information — and if that information is in the cloud, it’s especially vulnerable to those outside forces. You likely have some cybersecurity measures in place, but are you prepared for modern breaches that use constantly evolving tactics to exploit vulnerabilities and gain access?

Remote and hybrid workplaces are here to stay. In August 2023, 20% of U.S. employees worked from home at least once. By 2025, more than 36 million U.S. employees will work remotely, up from 19 million in 2019. That’s good news for employers who want the widest talent pool and employees who want to do their best work from anywhere. However, it’s also potentially good news for cyber criminals, who can exploit remote access policies to compromise cloud data.

You need an API security solution. That much is a given (although some may argue it isn’t!). While essential for business growth and innovation, APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, expose the organizations that use them to cyber threats. Attackers are both aware of and actively exploiting this fact: Wallarm recently revealed that attacks on APIs impacted 98.35 million users in Q2 2024.

Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a Windows security feature that protects systems by preventing code from executing in memory areas designated for data storage. By ensuring only authorized programs can run in specific memory regions, DEP helps block malicious software, such as viruses, from executing harmful code. It operates at both hardware and software levels, monitoring memory usage to prevent exploits like buffer overflow attacks.

The Cyber Essentials assurance scheme is one of the best accreditations you can obtain for improving your organization's cybersecurity posture and reducing the risk of cyberattacks. It offers a robust set of controls you can implement to fortify the security of your data, systems, and other IT assets and build greater trust with your stakeholders.

Astra Security identified a vulnerability in the InvenTree Inventory Management System on October 2nd, 2024, which has since been patched. This vulnerability, CVE-2024-47610, is stored cross-site scripting (stored XSS) that targets versions of InvenTree below 0.16.5, where ‘Markdown,’ in the Notes feature, can enable attackers to run code. Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities allow a hacker to inject HTML code into an application and affect the users who intercept the code.

Antivirus, malware protection, email security, EDR, XDR, next-generation firewalls, AI-enabled analytics – the list of protective controls and vendors appears to go on forever. Each day, bad actors discover new attack vectors that provide them with new roads to create chaos and destruction. News of data leaks, breaches and exposures has reached the point where it leaves most people numb and apathetic.

In this episode of Trust Issues, host David Puner welcomes back Lavi Lazarovitz, Vice President of Cyber Research at CyberArk Labs, for a discussion covering the latest developments in generative AI and the emerging cyberthreats associated with it. Lavi shares insights on how machine identities are becoming prime targets for threat actors and discusses the innovative research being conducted by CyberArk Labs to understand and mitigate these risks.
