Choosing HIPAA-Compliance Platforms: Review of Emerging Tools

Healthcare software now carries the same weight as stethoscopes and exam rooms. It touches protected health information (PHI) all day, so HIPAA compliance can't be an afterthought. The challenge is sorting through a fast-moving market of tools that claim to be "secure" without showing how. This review walks through what to look for, highlights the most promising categories, and closes with a practical framework you can apply to any shortlist-plus a section on how CureMD helps physicians run faster, safer clinical operations.

Manufacturing's Hidden Cyber Threat: The Growing Danger of Unsecured Machine Identities

The wave of smart manufacturing is sweeping across the industry, bringing with it a seismic shift that is characterized by hyper-connectivity, relentless automation and unprecedented data-driven precision. However, manufacturing plants and factories are not just filled with machines; they're teeming with thousands of non-human identities (NHIs) from robotic arms and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to IoT and IIoT sensors seamlessly integrated through the production lines. While they drive operational efficiency, they also represent a rapidly expanding and often invisible attack service.

Boost compliance: proven controls best practices

Organizations face significant challenges when it comes to ensuring that their day-to-day operations align with both their internal objectives and the requirements of multiple compliance frameworks. Controls best practices provide a structured methodology to convert the organization’s goals into actionable items that mitigate risks, secure valuable assets, and foster accountability.

How Trust Centers and AI are replacing security questionnaires and accelerating B2B sales

As Anna say in the podcast, “Security reviews show up just when you think the deal is about to close. It’s like a final boss that no one wants to fight.” The last-mile friction caused by security diligence isn’t new, but it’s becoming more painful as deal cycles tighten and expectations around transparency rise. Buyers want answers faster. Vendors want to close faster. And security teams, stuck in the middle, are often left juggling risk, reputation, and revenue timelines.

What's a False Positive & How to Triage It in SAST+DAST?

In 2025, DevOps teams are overwhelmed not by missing vulnerabilities but by too many false ones. SAST reports flagging “phantom bugs” that stall pipelines, while DAST scans misfire on runtime edge cases. The noise has become deafening, and developers are starting to tune out entirely. False positives are not just noise. They are a growing attack surface in themselves. They slow down real fixes and create blind spots where actual threats hide.

Quantum Incident Response

When the first cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC) arrives, it won’t come with a press release. One day in the not too distant future, a nation-state, organized crime group or unhinged megalomaniac billionaire will quietly spin up the capability, and in eight hours or less, your TLS (Transport Layer Security) RSA-2048 encryption is gone. Like a hot knife through butter.

Warning: New Spear Phishing Campaign Targets Executives

Researchers at Stripe warn of a wave of spear phishing attacks targeting C-suite employees and senior leadership across a wide range of industries. The emails pose as OneDrive document-sharing notifications with subject lines like “Salary amendment” or “FIN_SALARY.” If a user clicks the link, they’ll be taken to a spoofed Microsoft Office/OneDrive login page designed to steal their credentials.

Advanced Educational Competition - Ask Your Employees To Submit Their Best Phishing

I occasionally get human risk management (HRM) administrators asking me to help them with ideas of “contests” to better educate their end-users. They have usually done the traditional recommendations, which means at least monthly-to-weekly security awareness training (SAT) and simulated phishing. They are working to educate their end-users about social engineering and phishing attacks as best as they can without being overly annoying.

Smishing Campaign Targets California Taxpayers With Phony Refund Offers

The State of California’s Franchise Tax Board (FTB) has warned of an ongoing SMS phishing (smishing) campaign targeting residents, Malwarebytes reports. The FTB stated, “These text messages contain a link to a fraudulent version of certain FTB web pages, which are designed to steal personal and banking information.

The Double-Edged Sword: Benefits and Risks of AI Transformations

Over the past few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed millions of organizations worldwide. AI can automate rote tasks, facilitate natural-language interfaces, and pick up subtle patterns in huge data sets. It can also hallucinate wrong answers, reinforce societal biases, and even introduce cybersecurity risks. Before incorporating the technology into their workflows, responsible organizations must weigh the benefits and risks of AI.
