New data shows that the attacks IT feels most inadequate to stop are the ones they’re experiencing the most. According to Keeper Security’s latest report, The Future of Defense: IT Leaders Brace for Unprecedented Cyber Threats, the most serious emerging types of technologies being used in modern cyber attacks lead with AI-powered attacks and deepfake technology. By itself, this information wouldn’t be that damning.

Imagine someone having access to all your documents, photos, and even your browsing history. It may sound like something out of 1984, but using Google’s products can be a nightmare for your privacy. Despite this, Google Drive has over 200 million active users choosing to store their files with Google. Although Google offers many features with Drive, Chrome, and YouTube, and more,this convenience comes at a cost—your privacy.

A look at the recently discovered backdoor hiding in the open source XZ Utils compression service.

Let’s not waste time. You’re here because you’re building a webhook feature in your app. Unfortunately, there are quite a few things that can go wrong from a security perspective. This article aims to ensure that you’re not making any well-known mistakes while building webhooks.

At a time when the cloud estate of organizations is expanding faster than ever, the attack surface is becoming harder to monitor. This blog post aims to demystify attack surface discovery. We’ll explore what it involves, why it’s important, and how it fits into securing your digital assets. By the end, you’ll understand why a nuanced approach to attack surface discovery isn’t just beneficial; it’s essential for staying a step ahead against today’s sophisticated threats.

An attack vector, also known as a threat vector, is a way for cybercriminals to gain access to an organization’s network or system. Some common types of attack vectors that organizations need to defend against include weak and compromised credentials, social engineering attacks, insider threats, unpatched software, lack of encryption and misconfigurations. Organizations must identify all of the potential attack vectors and protect their network against them to avoid security breaches.

In the landscape of modern application development and deployment, Kubernetes has transcended its adoption phase to become a cornerstone technology for organizations worldwide. According to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), a staggering 96% of organizations are actively using or evaluating Kubernetes, with over 5.6 million developers worldwide embracing its capabilities.

Here at Ignyte, we talk a lot about the most common and popular security certifications and frameworks for cloud service providers and others, FedRAMP, CMMC, and their associated NIST publications. These are very important, but they’re far from everything that can be relevant to a CSP or to businesses looking to maintain their security credentials. Most CSPs have to deal with basic PII, CUI, and other forms of protected information that may be treated broadly the same.

Among the due diligence a company should perform when signing with a managed detection and response (MDR) provider, one item that may not be top of mind is who owns custom content developed during the service. You may be surprised to find out it’s often the provider, not you. MDR content ownership becomes an issue when you change providers or bring in-house the monitoring capability.

In 2014, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released its Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) following a presidential executive order to help organizations better understand, reduce, and communicate cybersecurity risk. In the decade since its introduction, NIST CSF has become one of the most widely recognized and utilized frameworks globally, built upon five key functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.
