Info stealer malware, also known as information stealers, are a growing menace in the cybersecurity landscape. These malicious programs lurk in the shadows, siphoning sensitive data from unsuspecting victims' devices.

Serialization is the process of converting data structures or object states into a format that can be easily stored, transmitted, or reconstructed later.

Serialization attacks exploit vulnerabilities in the serialization process to manipulate data, execute arbitrary code, or gain unauthorized access to systems.

Clickjacking, also known as UI redress attack or user interface (UI) manipulation, is a malicious technique used to trick users into clicking on elements of a web page without their knowledge or consent. By overlaying transparent or opaque layers on legitimate web content, attackers can trick users into performing unintended actions, such as clicking on hidden buttons or links.

Cyberattacks in the digital supply chain are now some of the most common cyber incidents today, with many of the recent major breaches resulting from a single vulnerability. Because of the rapid pace and scale of these attacks, cyber leaders can no longer rely on static analyses of their environments, and must continuously assess cyber risk across their entire supply chain and vendor ecosystem.

Ransomware remains one of the biggest security threats in 2024. This follows a concerning resurgence in 2023, where more than $450 million in ransomware payments were reported in the first half of the year alone. The proliferation of Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) and the subsequent attacks against a variety of businesses—from the smallest start-up to the most powerful multinational—reinforce what security professionals already know: ransomware is not going away.

There are a lot of tools that have already become an integral part of the entire life of many IT companies. Most of them can not simply imagine project management without Jira tools – Jira Software, Jira Service Management, and Jira Work Management. Considering high-profile interruptions in the availability of these tools, more and more companies are becoming aware of the need to properly secure their DevOps environments and have Jira backup and Disaster Recovery tools in place.

This is the first in a series of four posts about shadow IT, including how and why teams use unapproved apps and devices, and approaches for securely managing it.
