Data security is the process of protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access and corruption throughout its lifecycle.

Researchers have detected a new ransomware family they’re calling “PureLocker” which attackers are using to target enterprises’ production servers. Intezer detected a sample of the ransomware masquerading as the Crypto++ C++ cryptography library. In their analysis of the sample, they noticed something unusual when they saw that alleged library contained functions related to music playback.
How many times has a vendor released a critical cybersecurity patch for an operating system that is in “end of life” (EOL), or the lifecycle period where the vendor no longer issues patches for bug fixes, operational improvements and cybersecurity fixes free of charge? So if a vendor takes the time and resources to break this freeze and issue a patch for an EOL operating system like it did in response to BlueKeep, what does it tell you?
Threat hunting practices are gaining much more importance as hackers and cyber threats focus on improving their stealth. As a result, it is essential for organizations to take on a proactive stance on threat hunting. Continue reading to learn how you can manage that. What is threat hunting? Threat hunting is one of the fundamental cyber security practices. It aims to detect stealthy attacks and threats that go undetected by the traditional security measures.
In a recent story that appeared on multiple news sites, as well as the Google AI Blog, it was announced that Google has achieved “Quantum Supremacy” with its 54-Qubit processor, named “Sycamore”. This is a monumental leap forward in computing capabilities. (Yes, I had to resist calling it a quantum leap forward, because that does not nearly sum up this accomplishment). This is huge! The question exactly is, how huge?
This week, I'm pleased to announce that we closed our $14M Series A financing round.

Activity Audit is a new feature included in the Secure 3.0 release. This feature speeds incident response and enables audit by correlating container and Kubernetes activity.
Sysdig Secure 3.0 introduces Kubernetes Policy Advisor to provide Kubernetes native prevention using Pod Security Policies (PSPs). This feature automates the generation of PSPs and validates them pre-deployment, so they don’t break applications when applied. This allows users to adopt Pod Security Policies in production environments quickly and easily.
Today, we are excited to announce the launch of Sysdig Secure 3.0! Sysdig Secure is the industry’s first security tool to bring both prevention and incident response to Kubernetes.
