Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

As companies invest in cybersecurity to avoid fines and ransomware payouts, criminals are doing the opposite by turning ransomware into a full-blown business. With ransomware as a service (RaaS), cybercriminals are building revenue streams by selling ransomware kits online. This model doesn’t require technical skills or deep knowledge of hacking.

As a security executive, how do you know if your organization can detect a certain attack? A talented, experienced team armed with advanced tooling can certainly generate confidence — but even then, detections can slip through the cracks if not properly codified.

In Part 1, we explored what quantum computing really means for crypto security—and why preparation can’t wait. Now let’s take a closer look at how blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum are exposed, and how they’re beginning to adapt.

What does “secure by default” really mean—and is it enough? In this episode of CyberArk’s Security Matters, host David Puner sits down with Scott Barronton, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Diebold Nixdorf, to explore the often-overlooked risks of cloud default settings and how assumptions can lead to vulnerabilities.

It's no longer enough for CIOs to check boxes and tick off compliance milestones. The world has changed — and with it, the data privacy landscape. From the GDPR in Europe to California's CCPA, and now Brazil's LGPD and India's DPDP, the patchwork of privacy laws continues to expand. What was once a series of siloed regional regulations has become a living, breathing global challenge. For CIOs leading enterprises that span borders, staying compliant isn't just about avoiding penalties.

Compliance effort often comes from manual spreadsheets, one-off audits, and error-prone documentation processes. Requirements like PCI DSS 6.4.3 (script inventory and justification) and 11.6.1 (tamper detection and alerts) demand continuous monitoring — something legacy tools and manual processes struggle to provide. Legacy CSP and manual reviews are inadequate against modern threats such as Magecart attacks and dynamic script injections, increasing risk and operational cost.
