Vendor fraud is a type of financial abuse that occurs when fraudsters pose as legitimate businesses to trick companies and individuals into paying for services they’ll never receive. These schemes exploit organizations, putting their victims at risk for financial and reputational losses. Moreover, the occurrence of vendor fraud has been rising in the last few years.

Monitoring the health of your infrastructure and services requires you to understand the performance of fundamental system processes. But particularly in large environments, the sheer volume of processes can make their performance and resource usage difficult to track, let alone troubleshoot.

Protecting military secrets is critical to national security. It’s not just about securing information; it’s about ensuring our safety and maintaining a strategic advantage. Sweeping legislation, technology, and security protocols are in place to prevent classified information leaks within Defense, which extend down to Defense contractors. However, despite technological advances, humans remain the weakest link when it comes to protecting national secrets.

After implementing a DevSecOps strategy from the ground up — including secure design, testing and monitoring, and risk-based remediation — you will need to focus on analysis and governance. After all, organizations need to regularly measure and refine their security processes to mature their DevSecOps programs.

In agile and DevOps-driven environments, APIs are frequently updated to meet evolving business demands, from adding new features to addressing performance issues. However, each deployment introduces potential security risks, as new code, configurations, and endpoints can expose vulnerabilities. In an environment of continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD), the security of an organization’s APIs hinges on rigorous, continuous testing and proactive risk management.

Success in threat hunting is vastly different from incident response. Incident responders can measure success in criteria like ticket volume, mean time to close, or escalations. For threat hunting, the number of hunts vs. incidents is not comparable because hunts take longer, and the average time to complete a hunt can vary wildly. More importantly, most hunts will not result in incidents. We can’t use the same metrics! Our critical metrics of success are our outputs/deliverables and documentation.

Blockchain innovation is accelerating, offering new opportunities for developers to create secure applications. However, integrating blockchain infrastructure is getting increasingly complex. With more fragmentation, developers often have to juggle multiple tools, workarounds, and technical intricacies to manage network data, retrieve asset properties, and execute transactions effectively. This slows down innovation, increases operational overhead, and diverts focus from building great products.
