An only-slightly unserious look into the human behaviors and instincts that lead to the build-up of ultimately harmful technical debt in our organizations.

If an adversary manages to gain control of a privileged account in your network, you may face serious consequences, including costly data loss, prolonged downtime, customer churn, and legal and compliance penalties. This blog explains how to build an effective incident response plan that can help you minimize the damage from a breach.

Traditional IT security models focused on one thing: keeping the bad guys out the network. Anyone inside the network was physically in the corporate office and logged on to a machine set up and managed by the IT team, so they were trusted implicitly. That model no longer works. Today’s world of cloud resources, remote workers and user-owned devices has blurred if not entirely erased the notion of a network perimeter that could be defended.

SIEM and UEBA are complementary solutions that can work together to provide a comprehensive view of network activity and enhance the threat detection and response capabilities of cybersecurity teams. By integrating SIEM and UEBA, organizations can benefit from.

Forced verification fraud and deepfake fraud are on the rise in the US and Canada, according to researchers at Sumsub. Pavel Goldman-Kalaydin, Sumsub’s Head of AI & ML, explains that forced verification involves bypassing biometric data checks.

A new study found that ChatGPT can accurately recall any sensitive information fed to it as part of a query at a later date without controls in place to protect who can retrieve it. The frenzy to take advantage of ChatGPT and other AI platforms like it has likely caused some to feed it plenty of corporate data in an effort to have the AI process and provide insightful output based on the queries received.
