The dark web can feel like a mysterious underworld, a hidden corner of the internet where there are no rules. It’s a place where stolen data gets traded, and cybercriminals plot their next attacks. Just because it’s dark, that doesn’t mean you have to be blind to the threats lurking there. That’s where ManageEngine Log360 comes in with a powerful new integration for Constella Intelligence.

The release of DDI Central version 4.0.2 delivers a suite of new features designed to streamline network management and increase the efficiency of various functions across network sites. If you’ve already installed DDI Central, please upgrade to Service Pack Version 4002 to avail the new features.

In the vast cybersecurity landscape, one fundamental element stands tall as a guardian against digital threats—firewall security. In this blog, we’ll cover firewall security’s importance in safeguarding network infrastructure and mitigating cybersecurity risks in today’s interconnected world.

In the new era of smart retail, modern consumer demands are fundamentally transforming the industry’s core infrastructure, where the lines between digital and physical shopping experiences are not just blurring—they’re disappearing. In today’s dynamic retail landscape, innovation isn’t just an advantage; it’s a necessity.

Data integrity is critical in an era where data drives innovation and decision-making. The proliferation of data poisoning, a sneaky and frequently disregarded cyberthreat, puts information trustworthiness in serious danger.

Cyberattacks pose a growing threat across all industries, but healthcare is especially vulnerable. In 2023, hacking incidents in the healthcare sector accounted for 79.7% of data breaches. While patients, providers, and policymakers all have a stake in protecting health information, a critical weak point lies with the technology companies that offer electronic health record (EHR) systems. These systems hold a treasure trove of PHI, making them prime targets for cybercriminals.

Data breaches have become alarmingly frequent and expensive. In 2022, the average incident incurred a massive cost of $4.35 million and, further compounding the associated costs and impacts, took an average of 243 days to identify and an additional 84 days to contain. This figure is expected to climb even higher as regulatory bodies across the globe tighten data protection laws, escalating the financial and reputational stakes of failing to safeguard sensitive information.

Attackers predominantly use phishing attacks to steal and misuse user identities. A global Statista study on employee-reported malicious emails revealed that in the first quarter of 2023, 58.2% of malicious emails were credential theft attacks, 40.5% were impersonation attacks, and 1.3% were malware deliveries. Phishing attacks create a sense of urgency and panic in users, who, as a result, easily fall victim to them.

Keeping a stress-free and thoughtful approach to cybersecurity requires implementing tactics that put security and wellbeing first. The following five cybersecurity techniques will help in striking the balance.
