We’re in an era of connectivity and convenience, but this has also opened the floodgates to a new wave of cyber threats. Among the most insidious and pervasive is credential stuffing, a cyberattack that exploits the human tendency to reuse passwords across multiple online accounts. This threat is more than just a digital inconvenience. Verizon’s 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report reveals that more than 49% of breaches caused by external actors involve stolen credentials.

Securing non-human identities is just as critical as managing human ones in today's complex IT landscapes. Non-human identities, such as service accounts, application identities, and IoT devices, play pivotal roles in automation and system integration. Managing these identities in hybrid environments, where on-premises Active Directory (AD) integrates with cloud-based Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), presents unique challenges.

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is a Department of Defense (DoD) service provider that supplies a global information-sharing architecture for all DoD members "from the President on down." Their cybersecurity measures are among the best in the world.

The digital world thrives on constant connectivity, making websites and online services the cornerstones of countless businesses. But these crucial platforms are constantly under siege by malicious actors. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, where attackers overwhelm an online service infrastructure with a flood of traffic, pose a significant threat, causing service disruption and downtime which results in financial losses and reputational damage.

Our latest application security report shows a significant rise in bot attacks, jumping from 59.4 million in Q1 2023 to 147 million in Q1 2024—a 147% increase. These automated programs can disrupt services, compromise sensitive data, and threaten the integrity of online operations. To effectively mitigate these risks, businesses must adopt a robust bot protection solution.

If your password has appeared in a data leak, there are several things you should do, starting with changing your password. You may be wondering, “How would I even know if my password was in a data leak?” If you have an iPhone and save your passwords on your iCloud Keychain, you might have seen this message before: This password has appeared in a data leak, which puts this account at high risk of compromise. You should change your password immediately.

Analysis of the latest phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) platform ONNX Store highlights just how successful these platforms can be. Security analysts at threat intelligence vendor Eclectic IQ have been tracking ONNX Store, noting it’s a rebranded evolution of the Caffeine PhaaS platform. According to analysis, ONNX has been used to target financial institutions, “including banks, private funding firms and credit union service providers across the EMEA and AMER regions.”
