The notification lands in my SecurityScorecard dashboard just as I’m wrapping up a meeting. An employee’s email address has shown up in a password dump on a dark web monitoring feed. Another day, another reminder of why cybersecurity is a full-contact sport.

The main difference between Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) is that IAM manages who has access to which resources, while PAM secures access to sensitive information. IAM involves solely user identities, and PAM falls under the umbrella of IAM by monitoring user identities with access to privileged data. Continue reading to learn more about IAM and PAM, their key differences and when to implement them in your organization.

Intel is our open-source security threat feed powered by AI and our in-house research team. Intel monitors and uncovers vulnerabilities in open-source packages before they are disclosed. Many never are.

Forget ‘billions’, fraud is now a trillion-dollar challenge according to McKinsey, with phishing, account takeovers (ATOs), and credential-based attacks driving unprecedented losses. Needless to say, this step change underlines the urgency for scam-prone enterprises to add further protective layers as part of a fraud prevention strategy that combines emerging technologies.

The market of embedded computing has been growing constantly, and this trend is expected to continue in the near future. Notably, embedded systems are key components for the Internet of Things (IoT) and for Cyber Physical Systems (CPSs). In the embedded software industry, secure software development is critical. This is especially true because embedded software often involves vital industries, such as medical devices or automotive solutions.

At BSides Austin 2024, experts shared solutions for AI safety, cloud logging, systemic security planning, and effective executive collaboration strategies.

As the security expectations of customers grow and the regulatory landscape gets more complex, businesses are recognizing the value of investing in and demonstrating security. As the demand for proving compliance grows, so does the demand for HITRUST, given its reputable assessment process. ‍ Achieving HITRUST certification involves demonstrating compliance with a detailed set of controls designed to manage and mitigate information security risks.

The battle between bots and anti-bot tools is a relentless arms race. Bot operators constantly develop new ways to outsmart defenses, and defenders adapt to counter those tactics. As one side evolves, the other quickly follows suit. This ongoing conflict has grown more intricate over the years. Initially, bots mimicked traits like browsers, IPs, user agents, and mouse and keyboard inputs used by human visitors. These tricks sufficed to bypass primitive defenses.

Ensuring business continuity requires more than just robust pipelines and agile practices in DevOps. A well-designed Disaster Recovery Plan is critical to mitigate risks, recover swiftly from failures, and ensure your data and infrastructure integrity.

In today’s interconnected digital ecosystems, traditional security mechanisms like Web Application Firewalls (WAFs), API gateways, and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) act as enforcement points. Think of them as bouncers at the entrance of a high-profile nightclub—they decide who gets in and who doesn’t. However, relying solely on these edge solutions to secure APIs is like assuming a bouncer can stop someone sneaking in through a side door or an open window.
