Unit testing is a crucial aspect of software development and helps to ensure that individual units of code are working as intended. In Java, the most popular framework for unit testing is JUnit. In this article, we will go over the basics of how to write and run unit tests in Java using the popular testing framework, as well as some best practices for unit testing.

Your organization most likely has privileged users — employees, subcontractors, and even customers who are authorized to access critical applications and sensitive data. But those elevated access rights make an organization vulnerable. If a privileged user makes a mistake or an attacker gets access to a privileged account, your most valuable data is at risk.

Tanium’s Doug Thompson explains how the education sector can respond to a new CISA report.

According to Cybersecurity Ventures, it is estimated that 3.5 million security analyst positions remain unfilled. It’s no surprise, then, that more than a third of CISOs find the skills shortage to be their primary challenge, according to the ThoughtLab study Cybersecurity Solutions for a Riskier World.

LimaCharlie has multiple integrations that offer security teams greater visibility into Microsoft Windows. If you’re familiar with LimaCharlie, you probably know about some of these already. But over the past few months, we’ve added quite a bit to our catalog of capabilities. For this reason, we wanted to put together an updated guide to our most important Microsoft integrations.

The containerization of software and applications continues to escalate, and although alternatives have emerged to challenge Docker, it continues to enjoy major adoption by developers for building and sharing software and apps. In 2022, Docker estimated that 44% of developers are using some form of continuous integration and development with Docker containers.

Data breaches are on the rise and they can be both unexpected and costly. The average estimated cost of a data breach has peaked at an all-time high—an astounding $4.35 million, according to a 2022 report by IBM and the Ponemon Institute. Poor password hygiene and legacy software are two key culprits that will increase your chances of falling victim to a password breach.

Arctic Wolf has observed a significant increase in the number of malicious files delivered and opened via OneNote email attachments. Unlike malicious Word and Excel files, infected OneNote files do not require the security prompt asking the end-user to allow macros, thus increasing the chances of unknowingly running the malicious executable.

Vulnerabilities cause the majority of cybercrime. There are always new vulnerabilities appearing as software gets updated and as cyber criminals work behind the scenes to find new backdoors to organizations’ systems. In the first half of 2022 alone, 81% of incidents happened through an external exposure — either a known vulnerability or a remote desktop protocol. The sheer volume of vulnerabilities grew again in 2022, with over 25,000 recorded, and over 800 have been actively exploited.

We create massive amounts of data daily, from the exercise stats compiled by our wearable devices to smart meters used at our homes to reduce expense consumption to maintenance statistics of critical systems in industrial settings. If data creation continues at its present rate, more than a yottabyte (a million trillion megabytes) will likely be generated annually by 2030.
