Managing an organization’s attack surface is a complex problem involving asset discovery, vulnerability analysis, and continuous monitoring. There are multiple well-defined solutions to secure the attack surface, such as extended detection and response (EDR or XDR), security information & event management (SIEM), and security orchestration, automation & response (SOAR); despite that, these tools often do not prioritize APIs.

Today’s established financial services companies face high pressure from their competition. Many of them find that they must provide an innovative, customized customer experience (CX) or lose out to FinTech disruptors who are already doing CX well. As a result, these businesses are prioritizing innovative, feature-rich applications and adopting the latest and greatest in software development to speed up release cycles and increase productivity.

On August 27, 2024, Fortra published a security advisory regarding a critical credential vulnerability in FileCatalyst Workflow, identified as CVE-2024-6633. FileCatalyst Workflow is a managed file transfer solution used for exchanging large files across networks.

Here’s an endpoint you don’t often think about: your car. But if it’s Wi-Fi enabled, as many new models are, that means it resides at the end point of a network connection and can communicate on that network, making it an endpoint.

As infrastructure continues to evolve for scalability, tenancy and efficiency, there is a growing need for solutions that can bridge the gap between mature cloud offerings such as OpenStack and the ease of deployment, flexibility, and elasticity provided Kubernetes. Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift or “RHOSO” offers a compelling solution for organizations looking to achieve this goal.

We are thrilled to announce the latest enhancement to ARMO Platform: Seccomp Profiles Leveraging eBPF. This feature uses eBPF to take the guesswork out of creating seccomp profiles. Thus, benefiting from the added security seccomp profiles provide, without the risk of “breaking” applications.

Initial Access Brokers (IABs) are threat actors who infiltrate networks, systems, or organizations and sell this unauthorized access to other malicious actors. Instead of executing the entire cyberattack, IABs focus on the initial breach and monetize it by selling access to compromised systems. They assist ransomware operations, particularly RaaS schemes, by streamlining attacks and reducing workload at the start.

In a significant development in the cybersecurity domain, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has proposed a $2.95 million penalty against security camera vendor Verkada. The penalty stems from multiple security failures that allowed hackers to access live video feeds from 150,000 internet-connected cameras. These breaches exposed sensitive environments, including women's health clinics, psychiatric hospitals, prisons, and schools, highlighting the severe implications of inadequate security measures.

In a recent cybersecurity development, eight vulnerabilities have been identified in Microsoft applications for macOS. These flaws could potentially allow attackers to gain elevated privileges or access sensitive data by bypassing the operating system’s permissions-based security model. This blog delves into the nature of these vulnerabilities, their potential impact, and the steps that can be taken to mitigate the risks.
