As digital transformation accelerates, so do the cybersecurity risks, particularly for organisations handling critical infrastructure and sensitive data. To address these challenges, the European Union has updated its cybersecurity regulations with NIS2 (Network and Information Security Directive 2), expanding and strengthening the original NIS Directive, which was established to improve cybersecurity across essential sectors.

AI is quickly becoming the basis for more cyber attacks, leading organizations to realize the risk it presents. A new report now shows that AI-enhanced cyber attacks are now the top concern of security leaders. I recently wrote about how prolific ransomware attacks are and what the outcomes were for those experiencing attacks. In the same report - GetApp’s 2024 Data Security report – I also found some interesting data around where AI sits in the list of concerns for cybersecurity leaders.

No, you cannot erase your digital footprint, but you can reduce it by deleting inactive accounts, opting out of people search sites and adjusting your privacy settings. Your digital footprint is a collection of data left behind by your unique online activity, ranging from what you post on social media to what you browse on the internet.

In today’s fast-paced cloud-native world, scaling security alongside rapid development cycles presents significant challenges. As organizations increasingly adopt Kubernetes, ensuring consistent, fine-grained security across dynamic workloads becomes essential. Calico’s policy model for microsegmentation offers a scalable solution that integrates seamlessly into DevSecOps workflows, enabling teams to implement robust security controls without compromising agility.

On October 16th, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the National Security Agency (NSA), the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSE), the Australian Federal Police (AFP), and Australian Signals Directorate’s Australian Cyber Security Centre (ASD’s ACSC) issued an urgent advisory warning security teams about the use of Brute Force and other techniques by Iranian threat actors to compromise critical infrastructure ent

On October 15, 2024, a new Linux variant of the notorious FASTCash malware was uncovered, once again highlighting the vulnerabilities in global banking systems. This malware, attributed to North Korean threat actors, has been responsible for siphoning millions of dollars from ATMs worldwide by compromising interbank payment switches. The latest version targets Linux systems, allowing attackers to manipulate transaction messages and approve fraudulent cash withdrawals.

The healthcare industry remains a prime target for cyberattacks, with the growing adoption of digital health technologies escalating the risk. Hospitals and clinics, custodians of vast amounts of sensitive patient data, are particularly vulnerable. As the industry navigates the digital landscape, ensuring cybersecurity compliance is paramount to protecting patient privacy and maintaining operational integrity.

Cybersecurity teams are in a tough spot these days. They are stuck between the pace of change in technology, the shortage of security professionals, and an overabundance of security tools all demanding their attention. It's a combination that should make the all-encompassing Microsoft Security product suite a compelling idea – if you can determine a migration strategy that makes sense for your company.

In the perpetually evolving field of cybersecurity, new threats materialize daily. Attackers are on the prowl for weaknesses in infrastructure and software like a cat eyeing its helpless prey.

System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) provisioning is a tool that helps simplify the management of user information across different systems. The information needed on multiple devices or systems will be the same, so instead of a user entering their information over and over again to access data, SCIM connects their identity with your organization’s various systems. Keep reading to learn the ways SCIM provisioning can be used, how it works and its benefits.
