For the longest time within the cybersecurity industry, we have had Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) whose role is to set the strategic direction for Information Security within an organisation. But what are the stepping stones to becoming a CISO? In the past, this has been a difficult question to answer, but typically the CISO is someone who moved up through the ranks in IT and developed additional knowledge and skills related to data protection, privacy and risk management.

There is no question that cybersecurity is on the brink of an AI revolution. The cloud security industry, for example, with its complexity and chronic talent shortage, has the potential to be radically impacted by AI. Yet the exact nature of this revolution remains uncertain, largely because the AI-based future of cybersecurity is still being invented, step by step.

In today’s digital landscape, cyber threats continue to evolve at an alarming pace, with hackers constantly finding new ways to infiltrate systems and compromise sensitive data. One such sophisticated threat is fileless malware, a stealthy form of malicious software that operates entirely in the computer’s memory without leaving any trace on the hard drive.

The growing use of APIs in various business areas exposes organizations to new security risks. An analysis of data breaches reveals that US companies could face losses ranging from $12 billion to $23 billion in 2022 due to compromises linked to APIs. Lack of visibility plays a major role in the rise of API breaches. The lack of visibility inherently creates blind spots. How do you overcome the problem of hidden APIs?

The threat of ransomware attacks continues to strike organizations, government institutions, individuals, and businesses across the globe. These attacks have skyrocketed in frequency and sophistication, leaving a trail of disrupted operations, financial loss, and compromised data. Statistics reveal that there will be a new ransomware attack after every two seconds by 2031 while the companies lose between $1 and $10 million because of these attacks.

The ISO 27000 series is an industry standard that has long defined and dictated base-level requirements for organizations’ information security management systems (ISMS). Through more than a dozen standards, the framework helps organizations demonstrate management commitment to their ISMS as they regularly review and improve their systems and procedures.

The rapid and widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) has ushered in a new era of technological advancement, revolutionizing various industries and becoming immensely popular worldwide. AI-driven applications and solutions have streamlined processes, improved efficiency, and enhanced the overall user experience. However, this surge in AI’s popularity also comes with a dark side.

You can remove your personal information from people search sites by searching your name on Google, gathering a list of people search sites, finding your information on each website, locating the opt-out page and submitting a request to opt-out. Continue reading to learn what people search sites are, detailed steps to removing your information from these sites, and why it’s important to do so.

Managed Service Providers (MSPs) play a crucial role in delivering reliable and secure IT services to organizations of all sizes and across various industries. With the rise in cyber threats, especially ransomware attacks targeting public sector organizations, the need for robust cybersecurity tools has become paramount.

In a previous blog post, Hands-on guide: How to scan and block container images to mitigate SBOM attacks, we looked at how Software Supply Chain threats can be identified and assessed. The severity of these vulnerabilities determine the posture or scan result for an image i.e. Pass, Warning or Fail. The next question is “What can we do with these results?”.
