Cloudy with a chance of breach: advanced threat hunting strategies for a hyperconnected and SaaSy world

When workloads moved to the cloud, a huge burden was lifted from the enterprise in infrastructure and operational overhead. This transition also brought with it the “shared responsibility” model, where cloud providers took on much of the responsibility previously relegated to expensive engineering teams.

How Cloud Computing Enhances Cybersecurity Strategies

Cloud computing for the purpose of cybersecurity can be more useful than ever. Many businesses around the world are becoming more reliant on the technology for the purpose of scalability and cost-effectiveness when it comes to data storage. Yet, using it for cybersecurity purposes might give them a better chance to protect even the most sensitive data that must be protected in the first place. This guide will take a look at what cloud computing and cybersecurity can provide when they work together. Let's discuss everything you need to know right now.

6 Technical Testing Skills that you know about Automation Tester

In this ever-growing world of software development, the role of an automation tester has been increasing rapidly. An automation tester is the one who is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining automated testing procedures and frameworks. They do this by using special tools to automatically test the programs for any problems.

Enhance network security: 6 key steps for an effective firewall rule audit

A firewall rule audit is an essential process for ensuring that your firewall rules are effective and aligned with your security policies. As network environments grow more complex, managing and optimizing firewall rule bases becomes increasingly challenging. Over time, firewall rules can accumulate, leading to bloated, inefficient rule sets that hamper performance, increase security risks, and complicate compliance efforts.

More than a security alert: A guide to nudges

As American poet Nikki Giovanni wisely observed, "Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to error that counts." This rings particularly true in the world of cyber security. Even the most vigilant individuals can make mistakes—after all, we’re only human. What truly matters is how we respond. Imagine a platform that automatically detects risky security behaviours, alerting employees and nudging them to fix their mistakes before they escalate?

5 Ways a Network Digital Twin Can Revolutionize CVE Compliance

In the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, the sheer volume of Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE) notices has become a daunting challenge for SecOps teams. In 2023 alone, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued 28,901 CVE notices, reflecting the growing complexity and intensity of potential threats.

Phishing and Ransomware: How Threat Actors Attack the Financial Services Sector

Trustwave SpiderLabs is prepped to launch its newest threat intelligence research, the 2024 Trustwave Risk Radar Report: Financial Services Sector. The upcoming report, which is set to be released on September 10, promises to be an indispensable resource for cybersecurity professionals.

Understanding Adjust Memory Quotas for a Process

The windows security setting adjust memory quotas for a process, specifies who has the permission to change the maximum amount of random access memory (RAM) that a program or application can access at any specific time. Doing so controls and manages system resources, ensuring the system runs smoothly. The adjust memory quotas for a process setting decides who can change a program or process' memory quota.

Threat Actors Increasingly Exploit Deepfakes for Social Engineering

The availability of deepfake technology has given threat actors a valuable tool for social engineering attacks, according to researchers at BlackBerry. “Typically, online scams prey on the presumed weaknesses and susceptibility of the targeted individual,” the researchers write.
