The news last month of yet another cyberattack on MGM Resorts, initiating a system shutdown and disrupting its operations, is yet another in a very long list of attacks that we have witnessed in the past couple of years. Having the right preventive and defensive cybersecurity measures in place for such attacks is a given, and it is what most organisations focus on. But it is also about understanding how the organisation will recover from an incident and how they can limit the extent of an attack.

One of the biggest challenges that application security engineers are facing is the large amount of false positives from security scanners. False positives are results that indicate a vulnerability where there is none, or where the risk is negligible. Triaging these false positives wastes a lot of time.

In the fast-evolving digital landscape, the prevalence of cyber threats has become a stark reality for businesses and individuals. While essential, conventional cybersecurity measures are often reactive and inadequate against sophisticated attacks. This is where Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) emerges as a proactive and complementary approach to cybersecurity. Utilising CTI helps organisations to protect their systems from potential hazards. It provides a way to cut through the noise and focus on threats relevant to that specific company and industry.

Cybersecurity can, at times, feel like a thankless and invisible task. The punishment for a mistake is immediate and ruthless, the reward for success next to non-existent, because how do you recognise the absence of a breach? But this isn't a new scenario; the IT industry has dealt with this outlook for decades. The job of an IT department is to be invisible, but when something does go wrong all eyes are inevitably on them to fix it.

Every day, cyber incidents and their subsequent downtimes seem to fill the news. These downtimes, both costly and damaging to consumer trust, have rightfully been something that CISOs and CIOs work to prevent with increasingly sophisticated security measures. But sometimes the most damaging "disasters" are the simplest.

As companies increasingly digitalized, the necessity for cybersecurity has never been more vital. Product security engineers are in great demand since they are responsible for securing software products, operating systems, and the underlying infrastructure against potential attacks. Assuming you're interested in cybersecurity and want to work in it, this article will provide the information you need to begin your own career path as a product and application security engineer.
