As the number and severity of cybersecurity attacks rise each year, organizations are compelled to look for measures to protect sensitive data. The abundance of cybersecurity solutions on the market may create confusion and pressure, as choosing the wrong one may lead to security gaps. Many companies turn to data loss prevention (DLP) systems, since they have been on the market for years. But is a DLP system enough to protect your data?

Many API-related breaches do not result from sophisticated attackers or diligent security researchers but stem from improper API design and implementation. Recent incidents at Clubhouse, John Deere, and Experian serve as examples, highlighting the consequences of neglecting basic API security practices. To safeguard against security risks, comprehensive API security testing becomes essential, ensuring APIs align with published specifications and are resilient to malicious inputs and attacks.

TL;DR - The future of finance is intertwined with artificial intelligence (AI), and according to SEC Chair Gary Gensler, it's not all positive.

AI's Black Box Dilemma: AI-powered "black box" trading algorithms are a significant concern.

Law firms are being targeted by a large number of social engineering attacks involving the Gootloader malware delivery tool, according to researchers at Trustwave. “Recently, we’ve seen a noticeable surge in malware cases linked to a malicious payload delivery system known as Gootloader,” the researchers write. “The group behind this malware is believed to operate a malware-as-a-service operation, exclusively providing a malware delivery service for other threat actors.

With the transition to the cloud and remote work, some organizations are undervaluing network security. However, network vulnerabilities and threats still require attention. Enterprises should not forgo the core capabilities required to secure the network from security threats. In this blog post, we delve into SASE, a converged, cloud-delivered network and security solution, which protects the network while ensuring high performing connectivity.

Municipalities are no strangers to cyberattacks, but the introduction and ready availability of malware through ransomware-as-a-service providers has led to an increasing number of attacks against cities and counties. One small sample taken from the past six months revealed that Lowell, Mass., Spartanburg County, S.C. and Suffolk Country, N.Y. were victimized, knocking services offline and causing millions of dollars in recovery costs.

The supply chain, already fragile in the USA, is at severe and significant risk of damage by cyberattacks.

Most companies will quickly accept the insurance provider's first offer when negotiating cybersecurity insurance policies. Although a relatively new component of the insurance sector, providers have still been conducting cyber assessments and offers for years and are the so-called expert. ‍ However, this way of thinking costs enterprises thousands, if not millions, of dollars a year in deductibles.

A strong vulnerability management program underpins a successful security strategy overall. After all, you can’t defend weak points you don’t know are there. It is predicted that 2023 will see an average of 1,900 critical Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) a month, up 13% from last year. This is due to increased interconnectedness, the addition of more tools, IoT devices and SaaS services, and the increased risk of human error.
