Distributed networks, including software-defined wide area networks (SD-WAN), content delivery networks (CDNs), and secure access service edge (SASE) architectures have become integral to modern IT landscapes. They provide unparalleled performance, scalability, and flexibility, empowering businesses to operate seamlessly across geographical boundaries.

On May 20th, 2024, Live Nation, the parent company of Ticketmaster, uncovered "unauthorized activity" within one of its cloud databases. This breach was swiftly followed by the hacker named called ShinyHunters claiming responsibility. The repercussions of this incident are vast, impacting millions of users and revealing significant vulnerabilities in the security infrastructure of one of the world's largest entertainment companies.

Today’s cyber threats continue to evolve at pace as adversaries compress the time between initial entry, lateral movement, and breach. At the same time, the rise of generative AI has the potential to lower the barrier of entry for low-skilled adversaries, making it easier to launch attacks that are more sophisticated and state of the art.

In a significant cybersecurity incident, Cencora, a leading pharmaceutical services provider, experienced a data breach in February 2024, exposing sensitive patient information from 11 major pharmaceutical companies. This breach underscores the critical importance of robust enterprise risk management, vulnerability management, and endpoint security in protecting sensitive data and managing online reputation.

In our latest report, Snyk surveyed security and software development technologists, from top management to application developers, on how their companies had prepared for and adopted generative AI coding tools. While organizations felt ready and believed AI coding tools and AI-generated code were safe, they failed to undertake some basic steps for secure adoption. And within the ranks, those close to the code have greater doubts about AI safety than those higher up in management.

Did you know that in 2023, over 133 million healthcare records were breached? Healthcare has remained the most popular target for hackers and cybercriminals to attack. Why? These industries contain a huge amount of sensitive information, including: With such a vast amount of data at stake, tools for doctors should focus on privacy and security and help keep healthcare information safe from data breaches.

It’s not uncommon for enterprises to find themselves in a situation where they’ve purchased new technology but are then faced with the hurdle of understanding what they’ve acquired and how to deploy it. This can often lead to confusion, deployment delays, and frustration with the new technology. Deploying the Cato SASE solution can be both simple and quick if you follow this checklist.

IONIX’s Cloud Cross-View (CCV) uses cloud integrations to broaden the scope of attack surface mapping and coverage beyond traditional methods of monitoring. CCV extends asset analysis to consider aspects that are specific to cloud environments. This complements CSPM and CNAPP solutions by enriching them with broader attack surface data obtained through IONIX’s EASM capabilities.
