Digital rights management (DRM) is a set of technologies, tools and techniques to protect your copyrighted digital content from unauthorized copying, sharing or usage. Content creators, organizations and distributors typically implement DRM to control access to their intellectual or sensitive property and ensure that it is only used by the terms and conditions they have established. It also helps companies secure their files and enables safe sharing, so they don’t land in the wrong hands.

A dark web alert is a notification you receive when your personal information, such as your passwords, have been found on the dark web. Without a dark web alert, you won’t know when your personal information is posted on the dark web which is a threat to your identity and online security. Continue reading to learn more about dark web alerts, and how you can begin to receive these alerts and take action.

Are you or your development team tired of using application security tools that generate countless results, making it difficult to identify which vulnerabilities pose actual risks? Do you struggle with inefficient or incorrect prioritization due to a lack of context? What adds insult to injury is that traditional CVSS scoring methods ignore critical details like software configurations and security mechanisms.

Cybersecurity hardening is a comprehensive approach to keeping your organization safe from intruders, and mitigating risk. By reducing your attack surface, vulnerability is reduced in tandem. Hardening (or system hardening) considers all flaws and entry points potentially targeted by attackers to compromise your system.

Cybersecurity is no longer the exclusive domain of computers, servers, and handheld devices. As wireless connectivity grows, it makes many daily activities more convenient, but it also means that cars may be vulnerable to cyberattacks. Connected, Autonomous, Shared and Electric vehicles are starting to dominate the auto market, but they often carry significant cybersecurity risks.

Whether it’s ransomware, business email compromise (BEC), or phishing attempts, the number of cyber attacks keeps rising year after year. While there’s solid data on the volume, there’s a caveat, which is that organizations don’t want to disclose that they’ve suffered a data breach. According to Arctic Wolf’s “The State of Cybersecurity: 2023 Trends” report, 50% of organizations experienced a breach in the past year — the same odds as flipping a coin.

NorthStar Emergency Medical Services is an ambulance service based in Searcy, Arkansas. The company manages three EMS stations in the surrounding area and helps patients get the emergency help they need rapidly. This service provider takes medical information from patients it serves, and it may have just exposed tens of thousands of its past patients to internet hackers in a recent data breach incident.

Ransomware as a Service (RaaS) has been a growing trend in recent years, enabling anyone with an internet connection to become a hacker. In the past, launching a ransomware attack required a high level of technical expertise, but RaaS has lowered the barrier to entry, making it easier for anyone to launch a ransomware attack. So, how does RaaS work, and what are the implications for businesses and individuals?

A new critical vulnerability impacting Microsoft Outlook (CVE-2023-23397) was recently published by Microsoft. The CVE is particularly concerning as no user involvement is required by the exploit. Once a user receives a malicious calendar invite, the attacker can gain a user’s Active Directory credentials. Microsoft has released a security update that can be found here. Cato Research strongly encourages updating all relevant systems as proof-of-concept exploits have already appeared online.
