With the advent of the digital transformation — spurred on by the pandemic-related rise in remote work — companies now store most of their data digitally. While moving to digital data storage is incredibly convenient and promotes increased collaboration and efficiency, it has also opened the door for an unprecedented number of cyber-attacks and data breaches.

Identity and access management (IAM) plays a crucial role in security by helping to ensure that each user in the organization has access to only the data, systems, and other resources they need to do their job. This article explains the critical functionality of IAM solutions and how an IAM assessment can help you uncover essential risks to security, compliance, and business continuity. Then, it offers IAM best practices and guidance on choosing the right IAM solutions for your organization.

Workplaces have evolved. While hybrid and remote work existed before COVID-19, these working arrangements became even more prevalent during and after the pandemic. Today, workplaces offer the flexibility for employees to work and access company resources from anywhere worldwide, with the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol at the center of this.

In the realm of industry and infrastructure, Operational Technology (OT) refers to hardware and software systems designed to monitor and control physical devices. OT is a cornerstone in managing and automating essential services in a variety of sectors including utilities, manufacturing, and transportation. Key elements of OT include Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Industrial Automation, which support critical infrastructure operations.

eBPF is one of the most widely used technologies in today’s computing ecosystem, starting from the cloud sector up to routing and tracing in companies like Cloudflare. Many companies are basing and transforming their core products to use eBPF as an alternative to kernel modules because of all the benefits it offers both on the business side and technological side. Since this shift is gaining a lot of momentum I wanted to shed some light on eBPF.

SQL injection vulnerabilities may affect any website or application that employs an SQL database, such as MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, or others. Malicious actors may use them to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information, such as customer information, personal data, trade secrets, and more. For example, SQL injections were responsible for 23% of global vulnerabilities in 2023, Moreover, 19% of the internet faces cross-site scripting (stored) attacks.

61% of organizations have seen deepfake incidents increase in the past year – with 75% of these attacks impersonating the CEO or another C-suite executive, according to a recent report by Deep Instinct. Moreover, 97% are concerned they will suffer a security incident as a result of adversarial AI.

A Signed Driver is a software entity which is usually a device driver or can be a kernel module and has been signed cryptographically by its developer or producer using its digital signature. This mark renders a unique identification and authentication mechanism ensuring authorship and integrity protection. Signed drivers are the main actors who guarantee the system’s safety and stability by permitting only trusted and verified software components to communicate with the kernel.

Code signing has successfully established itself in the backdrop of the rapidly transforming digital space as a critical security mechanism for software distribution. Through the digital signing of source code, developers and publishers offer users confidence about their software’s validity, founder, and quality. Though cyber threats had been positively enhanced, the demands for a high level of compliance and strict code signing requirements had become more necessary.

Have you ever wanted to fine-tune the configuration of your Bot Management? With self-service rules, you get finer control over bot scoring and customize it according to user behavior on your applications. In this blog, we will cover three use cases that will explain how to use this feature.

Snyk is an excellent tool for spotting project vulnerabilities, including hardcoded secrets. In this blog, we'll show how you can use Snyk to locate hardcoded secrets and credentials and then refactor our code to use Doppler to store those secrets instead. We'll use the open source Snyk goof project as a reference Node.js boilerplate application, so feel free to follow along with us.
