Forward Networks ensures that the world's most complex and mission-critical networks are secure, agile, and reliable. A mathematical model of the network, including computations of all possible traffic paths, is built by collecting configuration data and L2-L7 states from networking devices and public cloud platforms.

Critical infrastructure systems, such as power plants, water treatment plants, transportation networks, and factories, depend on operational technology (OT) to work. OT systems are meant to handle physical devices and processes, while traditional IT systems are mostly concerned with keeping data and information safe. Because of this main difference, OT security is very hard, especially since OT networks are becoming more and more linked to IT networks, which makes them more open to cyber dangers.

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, managing cyber risk has become essential for sustaining corporate growth and resilience. Cyber risk management requires balancing corporate growth against the evolving tactics of threat actors and governmental regulations – a daunting task that requires continuous measurement and strategic reflection.

There is no doubt that attackers have shifted their attention to APIs. Wallarm’s API ThreatStats research identifies that 70% of attacks now target APIs instead of Web Applications. While APIs have become the backbone of innovation and connectivity for businesses, they have also introduced a vast attack surface that’s challenging to defend with traditional methods alone.

The OWASP Top 10 is a research-based document that raises awareness among developers, organizations, and security professionals on the most critical security risks facing web applications. The latest is the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities 2021, released in September 2021 after a 4-year gap. In this article, the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities 2021 are explained in detail, along with ways to mitigate each.

Adversaries often use complex, multi-stage cloud attacks that evade traditional security measures, which struggle to fully visualize, prioritize, and respond to threats. Multi-domain correlation addresses this by analyzing data across diverse domains — including networks, applications, databases, and storage — to uncover potential weaknesses and attack paths across interconnected resources.

In today’s complex cybersecurity landscape, addressing the controls within the Australian Government’s Information Security Manual (ISM) and the Essential Eight (E8) is critical when seeking to build rapport and work with the Australian Government. Australian cybersecurity regulations like the ISM and E8 outline foundational steps, including cybersecurity best practices and controls for data protection strategies.

Mobile devices, remote access, cloud-based applications — the security perimeter as we once knew it has disappeared. The proliferation of cloud-native infrastructure has given organizations and their employees more immediate access to their work than ever before. But this convenience cannot come at the cost of security, as malicious actors look for new ways to exploit an ever-increasing number of access points.

Your organization’s mobile security strategy is a vital part of your overall cybersecurity posture. Not only do mobile devices contain valuable personal data, but they also serve as a gateway to the information you store in the cloud. If you issue smartphones and tablets to your employees, a single high-profile vulnerability could compromise dozens of devices. If you embrace bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies, you may not have any visibility into the applications your employees use.

With a 168% rise in evasive malware, cyber threats have reached a new level of sophistication. This type of malware employs advanced techniques to evade detection by traditional solutions, which often rely on pre-defined signatures to identify threats. These malicious programs pose a major challenge in cybersecurity by camouflaging themselves within legitimate processes and acting stealthily.
