For as long as anyone can remember, organizations have had to balance 4 key areas when it comes to technology: security efficacy, cost, complexity, and user experience. The emergence of SASE and SSE brings new hope to be able to deliver fully in each of these areas, eliminating compromise; but not all architectures are truly up to the task. SASE represents the convergence of networking and security, with SSE being a stepping-stone to a complete single-vendor platform.

How can you take a proactive approach to your organization’s cybersecurity strategy? Scoping the threat landscape and having a solid incident response plan is a good start. But you also need to continuously seek out vulnerabilities and weaknesses to remediate or mitigate. These vulnerabilities and weaknesses aren’t just limited to systems and processes – the human factor plays a prominent part in many cybersecurity breaches.

Emerging between late 2022 and the beginning of 2023, Cloak Ransomware is a new ransomware group. Despite its activities, the origins and organizational structure of the group remain unknown.

Out of these, 21 victims paid the ransom and had their data deleted, 1 declined and 1 is still in negotiations, indicating a high payment rate of 91-96%.

A phishing campaign carried out by the threat actor known as Storm-0978 has been detected by Microsoft. The campaign specifically targeted defense and government entities in Europe and North America. It exploited the CVE-2023-36884 vulnerability through Word documents, enabling a remote code execution vulnerability. Notably, the attackers used lures associated with the Ukrainian World Congress before the vulnerability was disclosed to Microsoft.

Voice authentication is a biometric security method that verifies individuals based on their unique vocal characteristics. It has become increasingly popular in various applications, ranging from phone banking to smart home devices. However, the rise of deepfake technology poses a significant threat to the integrity of voice authentication systems. Deepfakes are highly realistic artificial audio clips that can be used to impersonate someone else’s voice.

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the Center for A.I. Safety have discovered a new prompt injection method to override the guardrails of large language models (LLMs). These guardrails are safety measures designed to prevent AI from generating harmful content. This discovery poses a significant risk to the deployment of LLMs in public-facing applications, as it could potentially allow these models to be used for malicious purposes.
