What is Hashing and How Does It Work in Cyber Security?

Hashing transforms a key or set of characters into a unique value from the original input, all for cybersecurity data validation and integrity checking. Hashing is a one-way process based on creating a value to associate with a specific data set. Security solutions providers like IDStrong use the highest level of hashing and encryption to protect their users' information. Organizations like IDStrong understand how critical safeguarding their consumer’s credentials is.

The CIA Triad: Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability

The confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) triad is a critical concept in cybersecurity, including three fundamental principles that help protect information. Organizations seeking a starting point for developing an information security framework would benefit from the triad model.

One platform, complete protection: why data security is moving on from point solutions

As the world enters the AI Era, CISOs and CIOs are looking at data security with renewed interest and urgency. Instead of multiple overlapping yet disconnected tools, it’s time for one unified platform to trace and secure data wherever it goes.

Navigating Digital Nightmares: A Survivor's Battle Against Online Harassment

Technology can serve as a double-edged sword for women grappling with domestic abuse: while it has the potential to save lives, it also has the capacity to lay bare one's most intimate vulnerabilities. One such harrowing story comes from a survivor (which we will call Bridget to protect her anonymity), who faced a nightmare of cyberstalking, intimate image abuse (colloquially known as revenge porn), and relentless online harassment that lasted for years.

What ended up on the cutting room floor after we sliced and diced the KEV

In the course of a major research rollout like my recent whitepaper on KEV vulnerabilities, I frequently end up doing some bit of analysis that doesn’t make it into the final doc. Usually, it is because I am dealing with limited space and attention spans, and I gotta stop sometime. The stuff that gets cut is usually not terribly compelling or surprising or is maybe more an artifact of the particular bias in our sample or is only interesting to a very small audience.

Identity Crisis: The Curious Case of a Delinea Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

During a recent customer engagement, the CyberArk Red Team discovered and exploited an Elevation of Privilege (EoP) vulnerability (CVE-2024-39708) in Delinea Privilege Manager (formerly Thycotic Privilege Manager). This vulnerability allowed an unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM. CyberArk responsibly disclosed this vulnerability to Delinea, including the exploit proof of concept (POC) code, as part of our commitment to contributing to the security community.

Suspicious Maintainer Unveils Threads of npm Supply Chain Attack

This story starts when Sébastien Lorber, maintainer of Docusaurus, the React-based open-source documentation project, notices a Pull Request change to the package manifest. Here’s the change proposed to the popular cliui npm package: Specifically, drawing our attention to the npm dependencies change that use an unfamiliar syntax: Most developers would expect to see a semver version range in the value of a package or perhaps a Git or file-based URL.
