Mobile devices, remote access, cloud-based applications — the security perimeter as we once knew it has disappeared. The proliferation of cloud-native infrastructure has given organizations and their employees more immediate access to their work than ever before. But this convenience cannot come at the cost of security, as malicious actors look for new ways to exploit an ever-increasing number of access points.

In today’s complex cybersecurity landscape, addressing the controls within the Australian Government’s Information Security Manual (ISM) and the Essential Eight (E8) is critical when seeking to build rapport and work with the Australian Government. Australian cybersecurity regulations like the ISM and E8 outline foundational steps, including cybersecurity best practices and controls for data protection strategies.

Adversaries often use complex, multi-stage cloud attacks that evade traditional security measures, which struggle to fully visualize, prioritize, and respond to threats. Multi-domain correlation addresses this by analyzing data across diverse domains — including networks, applications, databases, and storage — to uncover potential weaknesses and attack paths across interconnected resources.

The OWASP Top 10 is a research-based document that raises awareness among developers, organizations, and security professionals on the most critical security risks facing web applications. The latest is the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities 2021, released in September 2021 after a 4-year gap. In this article, the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities 2021 are explained in detail, along with ways to mitigate each.

There is no doubt that attackers have shifted their attention to APIs. Wallarm’s API ThreatStats research identifies that 70% of attacks now target APIs instead of Web Applications. While APIs have become the backbone of innovation and connectivity for businesses, they have also introduced a vast attack surface that’s challenging to defend with traditional methods alone.

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, managing cyber risk has become essential for sustaining corporate growth and resilience. Cyber risk management requires balancing corporate growth against the evolving tactics of threat actors and governmental regulations – a daunting task that requires continuous measurement and strategic reflection.

Critical infrastructure systems, such as power plants, water treatment plants, transportation networks, and factories, depend on operational technology (OT) to work. OT systems are meant to handle physical devices and processes, while traditional IT systems are mostly concerned with keeping data and information safe. Because of this main difference, OT security is very hard, especially since OT networks are becoming more and more linked to IT networks, which makes them more open to cyber dangers.

Forward Networks ensures that the world's most complex and mission-critical networks are secure, agile, and reliable. A mathematical model of the network, including computations of all possible traffic paths, is built by collecting configuration data and L2-L7 states from networking devices and public cloud platforms.

Snyk is proud to announce that our developer security platform has been recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave: Software Composition Analysis (SCA) Software, Q4 2024 report. In this evaluation, we were one of just three Leaders and were named a Customer Favorite.

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) has created new opportunities for risk. It is crucial to understand that this powerful combination is also being weaponized by cybercriminals, presenting unprecedented challenges for organizations worldwide.
