The digital assets are among the most valuable resources for businesses, governments, and private individuals alike. Cyber threats are evolving constantly, and securing data, networks, and digital operations requires not only advanced technology but also a deep understanding of cybersecurity controls.

By the time of Sibos 2025, banks and policymakers seemed to agree: digital money will be part of the operating models of traditional finance. The question now is how to make it happen. The urgency comes from a structural shift already under way. For the first time in regulated finance, value can meaningfully cross borders without banks. Virtual asset service providers are already moving stablecoins from Singapore to São Paulo without correspondent banks.

DragonForce expands its reach, Qilin rises as a global ransomware threat, and Water Saci spreads through WhatsApp.

1Password surveyed 2,000 American adults to learn how people are protecting themselves from phishing scams this holiday season (“phishing” refers to all those scammy emails, shady texts, and fake ads, where hackers try to trick people into clicking a link that lets them steal money or information). What we learned is that holiday scams are getting bolder and harder to spot, thanks to the help of AI. Here are some of the other most eye-opening findings.

In a world where data breaches continue to rise, organisations have become more discerning about who they trust with their information. It is no longer enough to claim that security is a priority — businesses must be able to prove it. Penetration testing, when conducted by qualified professionals, is one measure used as part of a comprehensive security strategy to provide that proof.

A penetration testing or a pen testing is a simulated cyber attack on a computer system by ethical hackers to discover and exploit vulnerabilities, mimicking real-world attackers to assess an organization’s security posture across web apps, networks, apps, and APIs.

The world is digitally connected, and businesses are running online around the clock. They can’t afford even a few minutes of downtime because it can damage their reputation and revenue. But cybercriminals are constantly looking for ways to disrupt services. Among many methods, IP stressers appear quite often in security reports. On the surface, it may sound like a harmless ‘load-testing tool’ to check a network’s strength.

Do you know what’s common between downtime, data leaks, and compliance-related penalties? An issue known as an unpatched vulnerability. Tracking and managing system weaknesses is no longer a one-time task. It’s a full-time responsibility now because of the rise of cloud, IoT, and remote endpoints. To stay ahead of potential breaches, follow a continuous and methodical approach known as the vulnerability management lifecycle.
