Cybercriminals use a variety of cyber attacks to steal your sensitive information. However, a password manager can help prevent you from falling victim to them. Password managers protect your sensitive information from being stolen by unauthorized users by ensuring that your passwords are strong and unique. They also protect your sensitive information from getting stolen by using autofill features and encryption.

Researchers discover modified Notepad++ plug-in, new junk gun ransomware appears on cybercrime forums, and a malvertising campaign targets IT teams.

In the race for technological innovation, companies often sprint toward product launches but find themselves in a marathon when fixing vulnerabilities. This dichotomy poses a significant challenge, especially with the ever-increasing security loopholes. CISA recommends addressing critical issues in less than 15 days, but it may be wishful thinking. IT teams are inundated with an ever-increasing volume of security alerts, making it challenging to prioritize and address each one effectively.

In this new series, CJ May shares his expertise in implementing secure-by-design software processes. The second part of his DevSecOps program is all about implementing secure-by-design software pipelines.

Application development is a multistage process. The App goes through various stages, each with its own area of focus. However, application security, a.k.a. AppSec, is constant throughout all the stages. For example, when a developer codes, it’s expected that the code will be secure. Similarly, the artifacts that are worked upon or generated as an end output of the respective stages are all required to be secure.

Understanding the factors influencing cybercriminal behavior is essential for developing effective cybercrime prevention strategies. Rationality plays a significant role in shaping criminal decisions, particularly through the lens of the rational actor model and deterrence theory.

Complying with data protection regulations isn’t easy, but it has traditionally involved dealing with familiar risks. For example, do your IT admins have the right amount of access to systems touching sensitive information? Review, remediate, report, and repeat. Compliance has been cumbersome, but workable. The problem is, today’s attack surface is nowhere near workable. And it’s evolving to include threats that most compliance programs aren’t yet accounting for.

The rapid advancements in large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the manner in which we interact with technology. These powerful AI systems have found their way into a wide range of applications, from conversational assistants and content generation tools to more complex decision-making systems. As the adoption of LLM-powered applications continues to grow, it has become increasingly crucial to prioritize the security and safety of these technologies.

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats, staying ahead requires more than just detection; it demands comprehensive correlation and analysis for informed decision-making. Understanding the context surrounding an alert is important to effectively mitigate risk. That's why we're thrilled to announce the integration of CrowdStrike Falcon EDR with Investigator, part of Corelight’s Open NDR Platform.

From financial losses to legal issues to a damaged reputation, the consequences of a data breach can severely impair organizations. Therefore, having robust data breach incident response and investigation procedures is critical for organizations to mitigate the impact of such incidents. In this article, we review what a data breach is and how it can influence your organization as well as provide eight simple steps to efficiently respond to and investigate data breaches.
