You can protect your financial accounts online by using strong passwords, updating your software, avoiding suspicious links and attachments, reducing your digital footprint and turning on financial alerts. Protecting your financial information is important to prevent identity theft and credit card fraud from happening to you. Identity theft can be emotionally draining and leave you financially bankrupt.
Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions are designed to provide seamless access to important resources for employers and contractors at millions of organizations worldwide. By enabling only one point of access for all the applications a user needs to perform their job, SSO has become ubiquitous for enterprises to streamline operations.
Ahead of the upcoming AI Safety Summit to be held at the UK’s famous Bletchley Park in November, I wanted to outline three areas that I would like to see the summit address, to help simplify the complex AI regulatory landscape. When we start any conversation about the risks and potential use cases for an artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) technology, we must be able to answer three key questions.
The JFrog Security research team constantly monitors open-source projects to find new vulnerabilities or malicious packages and share them with the wider community to help improve their overall security posture. As part of this effort, the team recently discovered a new security vulnerability in plexus-archiver, an archive creation and extraction package.
Akumin is a radiology and oncology clinic based in Florida with multiple locations. Last week, three of their South Florida locations shut down their computer systems to hobble a ransomware cyberattack. The downtime significantly impacted the three clinics, as the doctors could not complete patient assessments. Recent patients in the area should consider protective monitoring services to help mitigate potential outcomes from the attack.
An increase in the number of malicious emails being sent is resulting in more phishing attacks reaching inboxes. New data clarifies the factors that determine their malicious nature and identifies the most prevalent types of attacks. According to Vipre Security’s Q3 Email Threat Trends Report 2023, of approximately 2 billion emails scanned, 233.9 million of them – or about 11.6% – were malicious. That equates to about 1 out of every 8 emails.
You probably expect executive leadership to not just support cybersecurity efforts, but to be involved. New data shows organizations have a way to go until this is a reality. Even if an organization is completely supportive of the cybersecurity strategy, it can’t exist in a technical bubble only. It requires a lot of input – from planning to implementation – to ensure that required business objectives are met as security controls become part of operations and resiliency plans.
As organizations continue to believe the malicious use of artificial intelligence (AI) will outpace its defensive use, new data focused on the future of AI in cyber attacks and defenses should leave you very worried. It all started with the proposed misuse of ChatGPT to write better emails and has (currently) evolved into purpose-built generative AI tools to build malicious emails. Or worse, to create anything an attacker would need using a simple prompt.
FedRAMP, which stands for Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, is a U.S. government-wide program that standardizes the security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring processes for cloud products and services used by federal agencies. The goal of FedRAMP is to ensure the security of cloud-based systems and protect sensitive government data. Key objectives of FedRAMP include.
