How does the exponential advancement of technology impact the security landscape? It makes managing the fundamental risk of the technology, the software, exponentially more complex. From AI accelerating risky code production to cloud infrastructure increasing the attack surface, the world of application risk management is enduring a rapid transformation that needs immediate attention.

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a unique series of numbers that identifies your device on the internet or the network it’s connected to. IP is a set of rules that determines how data is formatted when sent through the internet or a local network. Therefore, an IP address allows information to be transmitted on a network and distinguishes between various devices on the internet. You will typically see an IP address as a set of four numbers ranging from 0 to 255, separated by periods.

Your Apple ID is valuable to hackers because, if compromised, someone could use it to access your sensitive accounts, important documents, private photos and more. Signs that your Apple ID may be hacked include receiving emails from Apple about a new login, being locked out of your Apple device or iCloud account, getting notifications of account changes or noticing unfamiliar charges from Apple on your bank statements.

Remote and hybrid work models have transformed how organizations operate, offering flexibility, cost efficiency, and other benefits. However, this shift also introduces challenges, particularly in securing sensitive data against breaches and maintaining employee productivity. Remote employee monitoring has emerged as a vital solution to address these concerns. In this article, we will explore the risks of remote work and how to manage these risks with actionable practices.

Every day, cybersecurity researchers discover dozens of new vulnerabilities, malware packages, and cyber criminals. One way for IT teams to stay on top of these threats is to monitor threat intelligence feeds. These databases provide real-time information on both established and emerging cyber threats, allowing organizations to catalog and analyze the results. This is particularly salient in the era of hybrid and remote work, as mobile devices are particularly tempting targets for cyber attacks.

Organizations that work in the cloud face an increasing number of potential threats every day. Fortunately, automated detection and response can block many of these lower-level threats before they even require human attention. Unfortunately, that means the threats that evade automated defenses may be perpetrated by driven and sophisticated attackers — the kinds of threat actors who can infiltrate a system and remain undetected for up to 280 days on average.

Every day, threat actors devise new plans for breaking into secure systems. The steps they take, from researching a target to carrying out the attack, are known as the cyber kill chain. Traditionally, that kill chain has targeted devices and networks that lie completely within your organization’s control. For better or worse, mobile and cloud-based work have upended that dynamic.
