As GenerativeAI expands its reach, the impact of software development is not left behind. Generative models — particularly Language Models (LMs), such as GPT-3, and those falling under the umbrella of Large Language Models (LLMs) — are increasingly adept at creating human-like text. This includes writing code.
After shutting down a ‘phishing-as-a-service’ operation that impacted thousands of victims in 43 countries, INTERPOL recently noted, “Cyberattacks such as phishing may be borderless and virtual in nature, but their impact on victims is real and devastating.” Business email compromise (BEC), a type of malware-less attack that tricks recipients into transferring funds — for example — has cost victims worldwide more than $50 billion, according to the FBI.
Creating a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is crucial to software supply chain security management. It helps fortify your software supply chain and reduces the likeliness of your software being exploited. But did you know there's a way to enhance your software's security further? Well, that's when API inventory comes into the picture. Including API inventory in your SBOM can make your software solution more resilient to cyberattacks.
Threat actors are constantly looking for new ways or paths to achieve their goals, and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of these novelties that could drastically change the underground ecosystem. The cybercrime community will see this new technology either as a business model (developers and sellers) or as products to perpetrate their attacks (buyers).
AWS Security provides organisations with the tools and resources they need to protect their applications, services and data in the cloud. It can help businesses identify areas of vulnerability, detect malicious activity, monitor traffic patterns for suspicious activity and prevent unauthorised access. It includes features like encryption, authentication, risk assessment and compliance monitoring.
The rise of hybrid work has accelerated digital transformation for organizations of all sizes. As a result, more and more applications and data are moving to the cloud. While this has created a number of benefits — including cost savings, ease of access, and increased operational efficiencies — the cloud has also made it more challenging to protect sensitive data.
