Almost 90% of businesses employ Active Directory (AD) in their IT environments to manage user accounts and control access—yet every day, 95 million AD accounts are targeted by cyberattackers. It’s not surprising that AD is a popular target. Attackers can actively exploit user accounts and use them as an entry point to launch lucrative attacks. Find out how you can employ best practices to keep your AD safe from adversaries.

When we’re away from the security of our homes and workplaces, we will often let our guard down when we’re surfing online. Whether relaxing in your favorite coffee shop, or living the dream at your favorite vacation spot, the last thing on your mind is getting hacked. But this is when a Wi-Fi hacker can achieve the most success because despite the risks of public Wi-Fi, 81% will happily connect to it, and 99% will connect without a VPN.

At our most recent Fireblocks Network Open House in London, we hosted a panel featuring Fireblocks CEO Michael Shaulov, Ownera CEO Ami Ben-David, and Archax Chief Revenue Officer, Nick Donovan. In the panel, we discussed our new partnership with Ownera, a provider of interoperability technology and transaction orchestration using routers; together, we’re enabling financial institutions to distribute, access and trade tokenized securities on the Fireblocks Network.

Containers are a key building block for cloud workloads, offering flexibility, scalability, and speed for deploying applications. But as organizations adopt more and more containers, they encounter a new set of security challenges. Developer, DevOps, platform, and security teams often find themselves struggling to keep up with vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and threats. This is where runtime insights come in, offering key visibility and intelligence to help detect real risk and cut through noise.

In the modern IT ecosystem, securing containerized applications in environments like Kubernetes is vital. Tools like Falco help address this need by providing tooling that can be integrated within Elastic Security. Falco is a cloud-native security tool that provides runtime security across hosts, containers, Kubernetes, and cloud environments.

A dynamic analysis tool for mobile apps is platform and language-agnostic, so you can use the same DAST tools for most applications. As they attack the application externally, they detect configuration issues that other application security testing tools may miss.

The cybersecurity landscape has evolved dramatically, placing IT managers under pressure to adapt. A 168% rise in evasive malware detected by WatchGuard in Q2 2024 underscores this shift, with threat actors following behavioral patterns and adopting attack techniques that become popular and dominate in waves.

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) enables organizations to set up permissions policies for users and workloads that need access to cloud services and resources. But as your cloud environment scales, it can be challenging to create and audit IAM policies that work effectively without compromising security.

In today's digital age, safeguarding your organisation's data is paramount. Achieving Cyber Essentials Plus compliance can significantly enhance your security posture.

New data shows just how crippling ransomware has been on small businesses that have fallen victim to an attack and needed to pay the ransom. Logic would normally dictate that ransomware gangs are going to go after the “big fishes” – the larger organizations with deep pockets. But with the advent of the “as a service” model of ransomware, threat actors have found a niche, with many of them focusing on businesses with 1 to 50 employees.
