CISA Strongly Recommends Phishing-Resistant MFA

We are excited to see the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and outgoing Director Jen Easterly strongly recommend PHISHING-RESISTANT multi-factor authentication (MFA). The majority of people, including the majority of cybersecurity practitioners, do not know that most MFA…especially the most popular types used today (e.g., one-time passwords, pushed-based, SMS-based, etc.), can be as easily phished or bypassed as the passwords they were intended to replace.

Nearly Every Hacker Believes AI Tools Have Created a New Attack Vector

A new survey of hackers shows that AI is not only empowering hackers to be more effective, but that AI itself is “ripe for exploitation.” Rarely do we get to ask a hacker “what do you think” when it comes to cyber attacks, cybersecurity efforts, and what they think the future will hold. But Bugcrowd’s 2024 Inside the Mind of a Hacker Report (which surveyed 1300 hackers) hosts a treasure trove of data around how hackers see AI and the value it brings.

Why a Zero Trust Architecture Must Include Database Security

Whether the means of a cyber-attack are phishing, ransomware, advanced persistent threat, malware, or some combination, the target is ultimately the same: your data. So, as companies seek to implement a zero-trust approach to security, they would do well to include database protection. Interest in Zero Trust is certainly high, with nearly two-thirds (63%) of organizations worldwide having implemented a zero-trust strategy, according to a recent Gartner survey. But it is hardly all-encompassing.

Why a solid DevOps foundation is vital for effective DevSecOps

As DevOps adoption has grown, organizations are pushing code into production faster than ever. However, the fast pace of DevOps has led many developers to view security as a bottleneck or afterthought, which means security teams need a new approach to keep up.

CVE-2024-11477: 7-Zip Flaw Allows Remote Code Execution

On November 20th, 2024, Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) researchers disclosed a critical flaw in 7-Zip. This widely used open-source file archiving software enables remote actors to perform remote code execution (RCE) on vulnerable 7-Zip versions. This vulnerability was originally discovered earlier this year and was reported to 7-Zip in June 2024.

Analyzing Ethereum's tremendous resilience: Where is the digital asset headed?

Undoubtedly, Bitcoin has been overshadowing Ethereum over the years, but it's worth noting that the latter has maintained a solid position as the 2nd largest cryptocurrency in the world, and it has a lot to offer. After all, there's a reason why it has seen enduring trader interest. Crypto enthusiasts consider Ethereum to be more than a digital asset, recognizing its intrinsic value and the numerous opportunities it offers. At the time of writing, the current Ethereum price is doing well, and the asset has succeeded in surpassing the $2,500 mark several times.
