Defined by Gartner as the next evolution of breach and attack simulation (BAS), adversarial exposure validation (AEV) is a security solution that continuously assesses how well security controls prevent, detect, and respond to real-world adversarial behaviors—across multiple environments and the entire attack lifecycle.

Extortionware involves stealing sensitive data from an organization and threatening to leak it. It’s become a core tactic in the modern ransomware playbook, and if your business holds valuable or confidential information, it’s a threat you can’t afford to ignore. Today, we’re taking a closer look at what extortionware is, how it works, and why it’s become one of the most difficult cyber threats to defend against.

With the recent increase in use and popularity of Large Language Models (LLMs), many organizations are still trying to approach the use of this technology. In this blog, we approach the different log sources that can be potentially used to monitor a local LLM.

A unified endpoint protection platform (EPP) is the essential foundation to a strong cybersecurity strategy. The industry standard for delivering AI-powered cybersecurity is the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, which has become the choice for organizations large and small to automate and consolidate their security across endpoint, identity, cloud, and data.

CyCognito is always seeking additional methods to discover customer external-facing assets. One such resource is an integration with content delivery network (CDN) management systems. Many organizations manage most or all their DNS records with CDNs, as they provide IT and security teams with centralized management visibility.

Securing your applications is vital in today’s fast-moving world of software development. With threats constantly getting smarter, developers need strong tools to identify and fix weaknesses right from the start. Just ask Alex, a developer who once spent a sleepless night fixing a last-minute security flaw. That’s where Veracode SAST comes in. This powerful tool not only scans your source code and binary files but also integrates seamlessly with your IDEs, repositories, and CI/CD pipelines.

The FBI is warning that threat actors are impersonating senior US officials in phishing attacks designed to compromise users’ accounts. Notably, the attackers are using AI-generated audio to convincingly spoof the voices of real people.

Human risk management involves more than security awareness training, but training is a huge part of the mix. How else are you going to best fight a cyberthreat that is responsible for 70% to 90% of all successful data breaches after already bypassing every technical cybersecurity defense you threw in its way? At some point, a harmful scam message will make it to a user, and that user will be called upon to evaluate its importance and treatment.
