Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools are crucial for protecting sensitive information as it moves within and outside an organization. They help prevent data leaks and unauthorized access by allowing organizations to monitor, control, and respond to potential data transfer risks. In this article, let’s learn more about how DLP tools play a vital role in secure data transfers.

During an Advanced Continual Threat Hunt (ACTH) investigation conducted in early March 2025, Trustwave SpiderLabs identified a notable resurgence in malicious campaigns exploiting deceptive CAPTCHA verifications. These campaigns trick users into executing NodeJS-based backdoors, subsequently deploying sophisticated NodeJS Remote Access Trojans (RATs) similar to traditional PE structured legacy RATs.

We’re excited to announce a powerful new integration between Mend.io and Microsoft Defender for Cloud (MDC)—a step forward in our mission to bring intelligent, actionable, and context-rich open source security directly into the cloud security workflow. As organizations embrace cloud-native architectures, security teams face the growing challenge of identifying and prioritizing the open source software risks that truly matter.

The FBI is set to report that ransomware was the most pervasive cybersecurity threat to US critical infrastructure during the year of 2024. As Reuters reports, complaints of ransomware attacks against critical sectors have jumped 9% over the previous year.

Ransomware has evolved from a distant “I hope it doesn’t happen to us” threat to an insidious, worldwide crisis. Among the sectors most affected is manufacturing, which has found itself more and more in attackers’ crosshairs. Manufacturing has long viewed itself as immune to digital crime, but ransomware attackers have belied this belief.

Let’s face it: The cloud has become the go-to platform for modern infrastructure—and for good reason. Scalability, flexibility, and speed are hard to beat. But as organizations increasingly rely on the cloud to run their critical operations, the threat landscape is evolving just as fast. And attackers? They’re getting smarter, stealthier, and more cloud-savvy by the day. That’s why monitoring cloud network traffic is no longer optional—it’s essential.

Today, Kovrr, the leading global provider of on-demand cyber risk quantification (CRQ) solutions, announced the launch of its CRQ-powered cyber risk register, a first-of-its-kind SaaS-based tool designed to provide security and risk managers (SRMs) with quantified insights that enhance cyber governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) initiatives.

As our reliance on digital devices and technologies has increased, so have concerns about the negative effects of excessive screen time on mental and physical health.
