Ransomware is one of the most prominent cybersecurity threats today, often spreading via phishing emails, malicious links, infected attachments, or exploiting software vulnerabilities. It is a type of malware designed to block access to files, data, or entire systems until a ransom is paid, usually in cryptocurrency. Beyond the financial impact, ransomware causes operational disruption and long-term reputational damage. The frequency and scale of ransomware attacks have surged in recent years.

There’s a new ransomware gang targeting critical infrastructure, government organizations, educational institutions, and energy sectors. Their name? Hellcat. But who exactly are they? Hellcat is a new ransomware gang that has surfaced across dark web forums in 2024. Hellcat employs a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) model, offering ransomware tools and infrastructure to affiliates in exchange for a share of the profits.

Security teams face limited resources and a growing attack surface while developers struggle with security responsibilities that feel burdensome, annoying, or seem to conflict with their first priorities. AppSec teams turn to static application security testing (SAST) tools to identify vulnerabilities in first-party code early in the software development lifecycle while developers can still fix issues before the code is old and forgotten about.

Enterprises and businesses are constantly fighting against cyber threats and hackers that threaten to steal their data. So much so that in 2024, organizations increased their cybersecurity budget by 8%, a 2% increase from 2023. Despite this, the cost of a data breach continues to increase each year, reaching its highest last year, when the average cost of a data breach reached $4.88 million.

Last year was an absolutely amazing year for Torq. The stats are just mind-blowing: 300% revenue growth and 200% employee growth. We also closed our $70M Series C round, bringing our total funding to $192M.

As cyber threats continue to grow in complexity and frequency, vulnerability management requires more than just patching systems; it demands a dynamic, threat-adapted approach.

As per a recent update from Fortinet, Exploitation of CVE-2024-55591, a recently disclosed authentication bypass vulnerability in FortiOS and FortiProxy, allows remote attackers to achieve super-admin privileges. By sending specially crafted requests to the Node.js WebSocket module, attackers can exploit this zero-day vulnerability to gain unauthorized access.

The eBPF dataplane differs from traditional Linux dataplane in many ways, with its structure largely dictated by the location of the so-called eBPF hooks inside the kernel – locations where developers can inject their eBPF programs to change default kernel behavior.

Cloudflare proudly leads the way with our approach to data privacy and the protection of personal information, and we’ve been an ardent supporter of the need for the free flow of data across jurisdictional borders. So today, on Data Privacy Day (also known internationally as Data Protection Day), we’re happy to announce that we’re adding our fourth and fifth privacy validations, and this time, they are global firsts!
