Why do companies spend millions of dollars on security measures only to have their systems compromised by hackers? The answer lies in the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats and the need to improve security practices continuously. One of the most effective ways to stay ahead of these threats is through software penetration testing–a proactive approach to discovering and fixing vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
Hollywood would have us believe that an airplane can be hacked by a tech-savvy passenger. But can they really? Ethical hacker Ken Munro decided to dig into airplane security and answer some common movie questions, like ‘what can a hacker do from seat 23A?’
The importance of email security cannot be understated. Proof of this can be seen in some recent research conducted by the Trustwave SpiderLabs team around our email security product MailMarshal.

WinRAR is a compression, archiving, and archive managing software tool.
More and more companies are realizing the importance of a unified cybersecurity system to shield against threats. Perhaps that's why cyberattacks on the network are becoming less common, dropping by almost 80% this quarter, according to our latest Internet Security Report (ISR). Even so, for SMBs, despite progress shown in adopting cybersecurity systems, the sheer volume of malware, as well as its rapid ability to change and evolve, poses a danger to company network systems.
