Organizations face a myriad of cybersecurity threats that can compromise sensitive data and disrupt operations. A cornerstone of defending against these threats is an effective vulnerability management program. This program’s first, and arguably most critical, step is strong asset and inventory management. A thorough and accurate asset inventory is essential for identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities.

In a recent cybersecurity incident, a hacker breached Mobile Guardian, a widely used digital classroom management platform, and remotely wiped data from at least 13,000 student devices.

Bring Your Own Device, better known as BYOD, is when employees can use their personal devices on a company’s network to complete their work tasks. Companies sometimes prefer their employees to use their own devices because they save money on providing technology and resources. Despite this financial benefit, companies should recognize the security risks BYOD can bring to their employees and organizations.

Snyk’s goal has always been to empower developers to build fast but safely. This is why we created the developer security category and why we were amongst the first advocates of “shifting left.” Now, AI has changed the equation. According to Gartner, over 80% of enterprises will have used generative AI APIs or models, or deployed their own AI model, by 2026.

The months leading up to audits can be some of the most stressful for security and privacy teams. Some audits can take up to 9 months to prepare for and another 3 months to complete, with security and privacy teams spearheading the evidence collection. Collecting evidence used to be a walk in the park, but that was before multi-cloud environments, new standards, and emerging regional privacy requirements.

New analysis shows users can be convinced to copy and paste malicious code on behalf of the attacker. I first saw this kind of attack earlier this month – where the user is asked to launch the Run dialog box and paste in a malicious command. I never thought I'd see something similar again, but I was wrong.

The prevalence of APIs in today's digital environment is undeniable. They are crucial for modern applications, enabling seamless communication and data exchange between different software components. The rise of AI and machine learning has further accelerated API adoption, not only for accessing data and resources but also for rapid API development and deployment.
