Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Detecting and remediating security threats is a constantly evolving concern for modern DevSecOps and security operations center (SOC) teams. Moreover, manually investigating and responding to vulnerabilities and threats is time-consuming, laborious, and knowledge-intensive.

According to OpenLogic’s Open Source Adoption and Expansion in 2022 Report, the adoption of Open Source Software (OSS) across all sizes of organizations is rising with 40% of respondents stating an increase of OSS software over the previous year and 36% reporting a significant increase in OSS software usage. The increase in OSS adoption can be attributed to a number of factors including access to the latest innovations, reduction in costs and frequent product updates.

‍Insider threats are one of the biggest internal cyber threats to organizations because they are often detected too late, and the responsible individual has access to sensitive information that gets released or exposed. Insider threats can pose a significant concern for organizations of all sizes and industries because they can result in severe financial and reputational damage and even legal penalties.

Back in November 2020, the UK Telecommunications (Security) Act started its journey through the Houses of Parliament, and after many readings and much consultation it finally went live almost two years later on the 1st October 2022. At the heart of the Act was a desire to improve the security posture of the UK’s telecoms networks, infrastructure, and organisations, recognising the importance of telecommunications as part of the UK’s critical national infrastructure (CNI).

839 million attacks ranging from DDoS and bot to Zero-day and OWASP Top 10 attacks were recorded on the AppTrana WAF on just 1400 web and API applications. So, implementing WAF as a first layer of defence is a no-brainer. That said, dozens of established start-ups operate in this space, and choosing a WAF provider can be daunting. It is essential to consider various factors to ensure the selected WAF meets your organization’s unique needs and requirements.

It seems that Chatbots are now embedded into every digital solution at our disposal, but despite the simplicity and ease this tool provides, cyber security concerns have been raised over the AI’s ability to spread misinformation, aid hackers in developing malware and even present sensitive data leak threats.

AWS Verified Access (AVA), a feature of Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networking, delivers secure, zero-trust access to private applications without a VPN by continuously evaluating each request in real time based on contextual security signals like identity, device security status and location. The service grants access based on the security policy configured for each application and then connects the users, thereby improving the security posture of the organization.

CrowdStrike Falcon® Fusion is a cloud-scale, extensible security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) framework that’s natively integrated with the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform and available to CrowdStrike customers at no added cost.

The cybersecurity threat landscape is rapidly evolving as cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), mobile devices, and remote work become more widely adopted. As a result, Security Operations Center (SOC) teams are increasingly overwhelmed. In addition to responding to cyber threats, teams must continuously identify emerging vulnerabilities and move quickly to apply and test patches and updates. A failure to do so significantly increases cyber risk. Consider the statistics.

As cyber-attacks become more sophisticated and frequent, businesses are turning to cyber insurance policies as a means of protection. Increasingly, CISO’s and Board of Directors are eager to take advantage of “risk transference” as part of a holistic cyber risk management strategy. However, the cost of such policies can often be a significant concern for organizations.
