From endpoint to XDR: Operationalize Microsoft Defender for Endpoint data in Elastic Security

Enhance your threat detection, investigation, and response by integrating Microsoft Defender for Endpoint data with Elastic Security. Many security teams often find it difficult to detect and respond to threats because of fragmented visibility and isolated endpoint data. This challenge led to the development of extended detection and response (XDR), which integrates endpoint insights with contextualized data from networks, cloud environments, and identity systems.

What is GitHub? Top GitHub Security Best Practices for Securing your Repository

Did you know that over 90% of modern software applications rely on open-source code? With millions of developers using GitHub daily, the platform has become a goldmine for hackers looking to exploit misconfigured repositories. In the past, incidents occurred where thousands of developers lost access to their projects when attackers wiped out GitHub accounts using simple security loopholes. GitHub is a powerful platform, but if you don’t secure your repository, you invite hackers to your front door.

Digital Forensics for Insider Threats: Leveraging in IT Environments

Security breaches originating from within organizations represent some of the most damaging incidents facing IT teams today. While external threats receive significant attention, insider activities often cause more severe impacts due to the privileged access these individuals already possess. Digital forensics has proven essential in identifying and mitigating these insider risks before they develop into major incidents by enabling teams to analyze data from multiple digital sources.

How to Build a HIPAA-Compliant Asset Inventory in Healthcare System

Healthcare asset management plays a vital role to protect sensitive patient data and maintain HIPAA compliance. The Office for Civil Rights reports that organizations don’t know where their electronic protected health information (ePHI) exists within their systems. This highlights an urgent need to track inventory and update systems properly. Let’s explore how healthcare organizations can build an asset inventory system that works.

Mobile App Security Audit Checklist

New cyber threats emerge daily, demanding constant attention. Security isn't something you do once and forget about! According to IBM, the average cost of a data breach in 2024 was $4.88 million, a 10% increase from the previous year. That’s why it's crucial to integrate regular mobile app security audits into your strategy. Think of it as a health check-up for your app – catching problems before they become nightmares.

Securing Identities for the Agentic AI Landscape

Twenty-five years ago, we set out to tackle one of the most challenging problems in identity security: Securing privileged access. Today, CyberArk takes another giant step forward, extending our leading identity security to the rapidly evolving challenge of securing AI agents. And this is no small undertaking. Due to their autonomous mandate, AI agents are growing to be among the most privileged machine identities that enterprises have ever seen.

Proactive Identity Security: Addressing Unmanaged Endpoint Risks

When an electrician comes to fix something in your house, you wouldn’t just hand over the keys and leave. Instead, you’d stay to supervise and ensure everything is done correctly. Similarly, unmanaged endpoints accessing sensitive corporate data, such as contractor laptops, personal computers and call center systems, require the same level of oversight.
