Cybercriminals are notorious for their opportunism. No situation is off limits: whether they exploit conflict and human suffering, blackmail vulnerable individuals by threatening to leak therapy notes, or even bring healthcare organizations to their knees, cybercriminals will stop at nothing to make a quick buck. Hurricane season is a particularly lucrative time of year for cybercriminals.

The explosion of AI has ignited both excitement and apprehension across various industries. While AI is undeniably having a positive impact on engineering and customer service teams, cybersecurity and IT practitioners remain cautious. Concerns about data privacy, the inflexibility of disparate tools, and the sensitive nature of many mission-critical workflows—which, more often than not, require some level of human oversight—fuel a deep mistrust of LLMs by these teams.

Identity theft is a concern for everyone living in the digital age. By stealing someone’s identity, a criminal can gain access to their credit cards and financial accounts or apply for credit using the victim’s identity. The compromise of your identity can lead to numerous troubling circumstances. Cybercriminals have learned to leverage identity theft to access vast amounts of personal and sensitive information within digital enterprises.

Understanding vulnerability management is crucial for maintaining the security of your systems. It involves identifying, assessing, and mitigating vulnerabilities that exist within your network, applications, and infrastructure. By gaining a deep understanding of vulnerability management, you can effectively prioritize and address security risks. One key aspect of vulnerability management is conducting regular vulnerability assessments.

We explored the Red Hat State of Kubernetes security report 2024, one of our favorite yearly reports. It’s jam-packed with incredibly fascinating information about one of our favorite subjects—Kubernetes security. Imagine that! In this post we’ll review some of the more interesting data points and contrast them with results from prior years. We’ll also discuss our own perspectives and observations on how this affects you as a Kubernetes user.

Netskope and Wiz help organizations simplify and automate policy management across complex cloud environments. This partnership highlights the seamless integration between Wiz sharing security risk and threat insights to enable Netskope to modify existing policies or craft new ones automatically. Below, we present two of the primary use cases that customers leverage with our joint integration.

You may not know it, but much of your daily life depends on Industrial Control Systems(ICSs). From the power you're using right now to the water you drink, it all depends on Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and other ICS tech to be delivered. In fact, nearly any time something in the physical world needs to be automated, there will be an ICS involved.

As noted in the 2024 Gartner Market Guide for API Protection“API security governance is an emerging capability. It allows the administrator of the tool to define and enforce security policies. Unlike posture management, this is a top-down enforcement. It also allows for compliance reports for specific regulations to be generated automatically.” This capability is becoming increasingly important as organizations face a constantly evolving threat landscape.

When you tell people you’re writing a piece on cybersecurity insurance, they tend to make the cock-headed, scrunched-eyebrow expression of a confused puppy.
