Data is the foundation of modern business strategies. Organisations are navigating a complex landscape to harness the power of their data effectively, from ensuring seamless integration and accessibility to upholding quality standards and compliance, all while fostering strategic data governance. In an era where data holds the key to unlocking AI capabilities and driving advanced analytics, the quest for leveraging sensitive data safely has never been more pressing.

Let’s start with statistics: continuous integration, deployment, and delivery is among the top IT investment priorities in 2023 and 2024. To be exact, according to GitLab’s 2024 Global DevSecOps report, it is on the 8th place (and security is the top priority!). However, it shouldn’t be surprising, as CI/CD practice brings a lot of benefits to IT teams – it helps to accelerate software delivery and detect vulnerabilities and bugs earlier.

Earlier this year, we announced Bitsight’s next-generation internet scanning, Bitsight Groma, and AI-powered discovery and attribution technology, Bitsight Graph of Internet Assets (Bitsight GIA). While these technologies work as partners in the Bitsight Cyber Risk Data Engine to create a dynamic map of internet infrastructure, it is helpful to separate them out to understand their unique contributions.

Cybersecurity threats cast an ominous shadow over organizations across all sectors. While the world often associates these risks with profit-driven businesses, non-profit organizations are equally vulnerable targets. And the stakes are alarmingly high. Recent data shows that about 6 cyber-attacks happen every 4 minutes and attacks like the 2022 one on the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) send shivers across non-profits.

Okay, so you’re a security leader at your enterprise – congratulations! It’s a big, challenging role, as you know too well. You or a colleague are likely responsible for securing the cloud and legacy apps that drive critical revenue and customer engagement for your organization. But it’s not just the apps you need to secure.

With any IT environment, especially the public cloud, security is a top concern and priority. When leveraging the public cloud, one of the most important steps to ensuring a protected environment is recognizing the shared responsibility model, as it delineates the security obligations between the cloud provider and your organization.

Snowflake is a fully managed data platform that enables users to store, process, and analyze large volumes of data across their cloud environments. Recently, Datadog’s Security Research Team posted a threat hunting guide to help defenders ensure the security of their Snowflake instances.

Organizations are constantly on the lookout for more efficient, streamlined solutions to bolster their security posture.

The Chinese espionage group Daggerfly, also known as Evasive Panda or Bronze Highland, has significantly upgraded its malware arsenal, allowing it to target a wide range of operating systems including Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android.
