A new survey by cybersecurity vendor Netwrix found that 84% of healthcare organizations spotted a cyberattack in the past twelve months, with phishing attacks accounting for 63% of these incidents. “Phishing was the most common type of incident experienced on premises, similar to other industries,” Netwrix says. “Account compromise topped the list for cloud attacks: 74% of healthcare organizations that spotted a cyberattack reported user or admin account compromise.”

Phishing attacks are the most common security issue for smartphone users, according to a new study by Omdia. The survey found that nearly a quarter (24%) of respondents have fallen victim to a mobile phishing attack. The second most common mobile threat was malware, which is usually delivered via social engineering. The researchers note that phishing attacks reached all the smartphones assessed in the study, regardless of vendor.

Modern software applications operate within increasingly complex ecosystems, spanning multiple layers of the stack—from the user interface and application logic to APIs, databases, and third-party dependencies. Each layer introduces unique vulnerabilities, often requiring specialized domain expertise to identify and mitigate.

2023 saw a huge number of devastating cyberattacks, from crippling ransomware campaigns to breaches targeting critical infrastructure. As threat actors employ increasingly innovative tactics, understanding the most significant attacks and their implications is essential for building robust defenses. This article analyzes the top cyberattacks of 2023 and their impacts, reveals emerging trends, and provides actionable strategies to protect your organization against modern threats.

In the realm of cybersecurity, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of transactions or communications is paramount. Non-repudiation, a principle that prevents individuals or entities from denying their actions, is a cornerstone of this assurance. This blog post delves into the best practices and techniques for integrating non-repudiation into your security strategy, safeguarding your digital interactions against disputes and fraud.

On January 22, 2025, Arctic Wolf began observing a campaign involving unauthorized access to devices running SimpleHelp RMM software as an initial access vector. Roughly a week prior to the emergence of this campaign, several vulnerabilities had been publicly disclosed in SimpleHelp by Horizon3 (CVE-2024-57726, CVE-2024-57727, and CVE-2024-57728).

Security isn’t something you implement once and leave alone. It’s a mindset, an operation, and an ongoing policy. Security frameworks like FedRAMP require a process called continuous monitoring in order to remain valid. The world of information threats is constantly evolving. Technology grows, changes, and improves, but with those changes come new vectors for intrusion, new methods for unauthorized access, and new exploits.

Fraud in financial services is becoming more sophisticated, costing the industry billions annually and eroding customer trust.
