The RAG architecture, a novel approach in language models, combines the power of retrieval from external knowledge sources with traditional language generation capabilities. This innovative method overcomes a fundamental limitation of conventional language models, which are typically trained on a fixed corpus of text and struggle to incorporate up-to-date or specialized knowledge not present in their training data.

The frequency and sophistication of cyber threats make cybersecurity a critical factor in any company. Therefore, investors should be more vigilant, recognizing that a company’s cybersecurity posture can significantly impact its financial health and stability. This article highlights the need for robust cybersecurity strategies and how these can determine investment decisions.

Cybercriminals are not new, and often neither are their tactics. Despite this, phishing attacks, which incorporate social engineering in emails and messages to persuade people to perform an action that puts organisations at risk, continue to be highly successful. New technologies, such as GenAI, are improving these tactics further and companies must implement a strategic approach built on a solid foundation of identity security to minimize risks.

As we pass the halfway mark of 2024, data breaches remain on the rise. Cybercriminals are finding more and more inventive ways to infiltrate organizations, exploiting vulnerabilities in networks, software, and human behavior. From phishing schemes and ransomware attacks to insider threats and supply chain compromises, the threat of cyber attacks continues. This is bad news, especially for certain industries. The consequences of these breaches extend far beyond financial losses.

As the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris approach, organizers are intensifying cybersecurity measures in response to warnings from experts and law enforcement agencies about a likely surge in cyberattacks. The Games, set to start on 26 July this year, are projected to sell over 13 million tickets and attract more than 15 million visitors to Paris, generating around 11 billion euros in economic activity.

On June 25, 2024, Progress disclosed two vulnerabilities affecting MOVEit Transfer and MOVEit Gateway: CVE-2024-5805: A critical severity authentication bypass vulnerability affecting MOVEit Gateway (SFTP module). MOVEit Gateway is a proxy for MOVEit Transfer, designed to securely handle inbound connections when deployed behind a firewall.

Cybersecurity moves fast, and the latest threats to reach organizations worldwide are being built on the back of artificial intelligence (AI) models that spit out accurate code, realistic messages, and lifelike audio and video designed to fool people. But as headline-grabbing as AI-based attacks appear to be, they aren’t driving the most breaches globally. That would be BEC attacks, in which attackers leverage stolen access to a business email account to create a scam that results in financial gain.

Penetration Testing, often known as "pen testing," plays a pivotal role in assessing the security posture of any digital environment. It's a simulated cyber attack where security teams utilise a series of attack techniques to identify and exploit vulnerabilities within systems, applications, and an organisation’s infrastructure. This form of testing is crucial because it evaluates the effectiveness of the organisation's defensive mechanisms against unauthorized access and malicious actors.

Vortax spreads infostealer malware, new malware campaign distributes fake error messages, and Linux malware uses emojis to execute commands.

For startup leaders, getting compliant with common security and privacy frameworks, like SOC 2 and ISO 27001, is often necessary to unlock new revenue streams, expand upmarket, and prove trust. ‍ While there’s a clear need to get compliant, this process is often time-consuming, manual, and full of “one step forward, two steps back” moments.
