Pegasystems, a global leader in AI-powered decisioning and workflow automation, is a strategic partner for many of the world’s leading brands. The company’s role as an enterprise software provider means it often operates under the radar of the general public — but that doesn’t shield it from cyberattacks. Upon joining Pegasystems (Pega) in 2019, Director of Corporate Security Operations Steve Tieland quickly realized the company's legacy antivirus solution was missing the mark.

Two Citrix vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-8068 and CVE-2024-8069) can potentially lead to unauthenticated remote code execution. Note: according to the vendor, privilege escalation to NetworkService Account access in Citrix Session Recording and limited remote code execution with privilege of a NetworkService Account access in Citrix Session Recording is possible when an attacker is an authenticated user in the same intranet.

With a 168% rise in evasive malware, cyber threats have reached a new level of sophistication. This type of malware employs advanced techniques to evade detection by traditional solutions, which often rely on pre-defined signatures to identify threats. These malicious programs pose a major challenge in cybersecurity by camouflaging themselves within legitimate processes and acting stealthily.

Your organization’s mobile security strategy is a vital part of your overall cybersecurity posture. Not only do mobile devices contain valuable personal data, but they also serve as a gateway to the information you store in the cloud. If you issue smartphones and tablets to your employees, a single high-profile vulnerability could compromise dozens of devices. If you embrace bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies, you may not have any visibility into the applications your employees use.

Mobile devices, remote access, cloud-based applications — the security perimeter as we once knew it has disappeared. The proliferation of cloud-native infrastructure has given organizations and their employees more immediate access to their work than ever before. But this convenience cannot come at the cost of security, as malicious actors look for new ways to exploit an ever-increasing number of access points.

In today’s complex cybersecurity landscape, addressing the controls within the Australian Government’s Information Security Manual (ISM) and the Essential Eight (E8) is critical when seeking to build rapport and work with the Australian Government. Australian cybersecurity regulations like the ISM and E8 outline foundational steps, including cybersecurity best practices and controls for data protection strategies.

Adversaries often use complex, multi-stage cloud attacks that evade traditional security measures, which struggle to fully visualize, prioritize, and respond to threats. Multi-domain correlation addresses this by analyzing data across diverse domains — including networks, applications, databases, and storage — to uncover potential weaknesses and attack paths across interconnected resources.

The OWASP Top 10 is a research-based document that raises awareness among developers, organizations, and security professionals on the most critical security risks facing web applications. The latest is the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities 2021, released in September 2021 after a 4-year gap. In this article, the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities 2021 are explained in detail, along with ways to mitigate each.
