Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Cybersecurity forms the backbone of safeguarding your business’s data. With cybercrime becoming more sophisticated, traditional security measures are often insufficient. Staying vigilant and proactive is more important than ever. Penetration testing, a critical component of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy, plays a pivotal role in this endeavour.

While businesses might have become more prepared for direct cyberattacks, 2023 demonstrated that unfortunately a business is only as secure as the organizations within their environment. Third-party risk, which is to say any risk to an organization by external parties in its ecosystem or supply chain, was the headline culprit in 2023.

DSPM or Data Security Posture Management is the modern approach to securing the information ecosystem. It represents a pivotal shift from the traditional castle-and-moat approach focused on IT devices to one that is focused on data.

DevSecOps – for many, it feels like a magical black box where code and sensitive digital assets go in one end, and a working piece of software comes out the other. Security practices within the development and operational phases can often get lost. Organizations that haven’t adopted DevSecOps see half of their apps at risk of attacks, while those with a DevSecOps-first approach have only 22% at risk. That’s why the core principles of DevSecOps are important.

As more organizations collectively progress toward adopting a SASE architecture, it has become clear that the traditional SASE market definition (SSE + SD-WAN) is not enough. It forces some teams to work with multiple vendors to address their specific needs, introducing performance and security tradeoffs. More worrisome, it draws focus more to a checklist of services than a vendor’s underlying architecture.

In cybersecurity, where information is both an asset and a potential target, various techniques are used to secure data and communications. One such covert art is steganography, which hides information within seemingly innocuous files to avoid detection. This article dives into the fascinating world of steganography, its history, techniques, and applications in the digital age.

CrowdStrike researchers have identified a HijackLoader (aka IDAT Loader) sample that employs sophisticated evasion techniques to enhance the complexity of the threat. HijackLoader, an increasingly popular tool among adversaries for deploying additional payloads and tooling, continues to evolve as its developers experiment and enhance its capabilities.

Problems arise when teams are too siloed. In the past, organizations ran into trouble when Development teams would hand over finished code with security problems to IT Operations to deploy and manage. They realized it was faster and more effective to work together throughout the product lifecycle in a DevOps model, picking up on issues and resolving them as they went in an agile way of working.

In recent times, the remarkable advancement of AI has revolutionized our technological landscape. Its profound benefits have not only enhanced the efficiency of our daily operations but also induced transformative shifts across industries. The impact of AI has made our lives more convenient, creating new opportunities in the digital world. Looking ahead, AI's influence promises a future full of innovation and potential.

Last year, text scammers prowling around on messaging platforms like WhatsApp sent a staggering 19 million messages in December alone. When ploys like these can rake up over $10 million in a matter of months, it’s easy to see why. Which WhatsApp messages are real this year, and which are not? With social engineering attacks, it's increasingly harder to tell. Here’s a look at the most probable WhatsApp scams in 2024 and what you can do to avoid them.
