In the first of our blog series on international data protection, I’m taking a look at how companies can ensure compliance with notice and consent requirements in the USA, China, and Canada. In a world where digital footprints are as common as physical ones, the governance of personal data has become a pressing issue.

SecurityScorecard had the pleasure of participating in the 15th Annual Billington CyberSecurity Conference – a key convening of policymakers and industry thought leaders in our Nation’s Capital. This year’s edition – Advancing Cybersecurity in the AI Age – included over 4,000 registrants and 200 speakers participating in 40+ sessions and breakouts. It would not be an emerging tech and government conference without an extra emphasis on AI.

Around two years ago, memN0ps took the initiative to create one of the first publicly available rootkit proof of concepts (PoCs) in Rust as an experimental project, while learning a new programming language. It still lacks many features, which are relatively easy to add once the concept is understood, but it was developed within a month, at a part-time capacity.

Advanced biometrics. Seamless onboarding walkthroughs. Cross-platform integrations. Hyper-personalized dashboards. Cleanly designed reports. These are just some of the features today’s users expect from their financial applications, pushing most financial institutions to release them quickly — or risk being outpaced by FinTech disruptors who already do. As a result, development teams must build more quickly, adopting new technologies to stay in step with demanding goals and tight deadlines.

In the rapidly evolving world of container security, staying ahead of threats and keeping abreast of vulnerabilities is crucial. Calico Cloud continues to lead the way with new capabilities designed to enhance security posture, reduce noise, and improve operational efficiency for Security and DevOps teams. Here’s a comprehensive look at how these enhancements can impact your security posture and streamline your operations.

Historically, security programs have struggled when they fail to include developers and partner teams, often falling into the trap of focusing solely on the security team’s needs. This approach has led to a disconnect between security and development teams, resulting in ineffective vulnerability management and often strained relationships.

Flannel shirts, acid-washed jeans, Polaroid cameras, and vinyl records—these items which were once out of style are now emerging as popular must-haves among the younger generation. In the realm of IT, data backup has always been a necessity. Initially, it represented a compelling concept—storing data in an alternate location to ensure redundancy and failover capabilities in preparation for natural disasters.

Threat actors are opting for malicious links over attachments in email-based attacks because it gives them a critical advantage that many solutions can’t address. Given that a malicious email is the very first step (or close to it) in an attack, it’s critically important that the attack maintain its’ stealth; detecting an attack at this point means an early (and well-deserved) death to the attack itself – something threat actors don’t want to see.
