A keylogger is a type of spyware that monitors and records user keystrokes. They allow cybercriminals to read anything a victim is typing into their keyboard, including private data like passwords, account numbers, and credit card numbers. Some forms of keyloggers can do more than steal keyboard strokes. They can read data copied to the clipboard and take screenshots of the user's screen - on PCs, Macs, iPhones, and Android devices. Keyloggers are not always the sole threat in cyberattacks.

82% of professionals believe that software supply chain security should be given a degree of priority, with only 7% stating that it is not a priority at all.

It takes a crowd to secure the attack surface. Detectify collaborates with the Crowdsource ethical hacker community to power a fully automated external attack surface management solution. This is a guest blog post from Crowdsource hacker Luke “hakluke” Stephens on why he believes crowdsourced security is now a necessity.

SSL/TLS certificates make the internet a safer place, but many companies are unaware that their certificates can become a looking glass into the organisation – potentially leaking confidential information and creating new entry points for attackers.

Dependency confusion attacks are a form of open source supply chain security attacks in which an attacker exploits how package managers install dependencies. In a prior post, we explored how to detect and prevent dependency confusion attacks on npm to maintain supply chain security. In this article, we will present an extension of the dependency confusion problem utilizing npm’s package aliasing capabilities.

According to the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), the number of new security vulnerabilities increases steadily over the past few years. Image source: NVD The consistent rise in the number of security vulnerabilities along with headline-catching exploits like the SolarWind supply chain attack earlier this year has organizations doubling down on vulnerability management programs to ensure that they are not exposed to malicious attacks.

For a concept that represents absence, zero trust is absolutely everywhere. Companies that have explored how to embark upon zero-trust projects encounter daunting challenges and lose sight of the outcomes a zero-trust approach intends to achieve. Effective zero-trust projects aim to replace implicit trust with explicit, continuously adaptive trust across users, devices, networks, applications, and data to increase confidence across the business.

Over the last few years, the term DevOps and DevSecOps (which stand for Developer Operations and Developer Security Operations respectively) have become synonymous with companies trying to become more agile and less monolithic.
