Managed vulnerability scanning is a cybersecurity service that uses software, vulnerability scanners, human-led and automated penetration testing, and other tools to help an organization identify, track, evaluate, and mitigate security risks both inside their network and connected external sources. Even organizations with the most sophisticated information technology security professionals are challenged when dealing with the hundreds of new threats released into the wild each month.

CVE-2023-2825 vulnerability is a recently discovered vulnerability in GitLab. It allows unauthorized access to GitLab repositories to read arbitrary files. This post will discuss further details of the vulnerability, its location, discovery, and how the Astra scanner scans for it.

Threat actors are using encoded phishing links to evade security filters, according to Jeremy Fuchs at Avanan. The phishing emails purport to be notifications from McAfee informing the user that they need to renew their subscription. “This is a fairly standard McAfee subscription scam,” Fuchs says. “We see these all the time and they’ve been floating around the Internet for some time. But that’s not what makes this attack unique.

The B2B landscape has seen a rapid shift towards digitalization, which makes cyber exposure management increasingly critical for companies in every sector and across all geographies. A pivotal aspect of managing cyber exposure is the ability to quantify the impact of cyber risks, which is traditionally a laborious task. This article describes how data integration is the key to unlocking quick and accurate cyber risk financial quantification.

With cyberattacks increasing against state and local governments, public sector IT leaders are facing mounting pressure to safeguard sensitive assets, protect confidential data, and secure critical worksites. To meet these ongoing challenges, Tanium Cloud for U.S. Government (TC-USG) has now been authorized by State Risk and Authorized Management Program (StateRAMP) — making it easier for governments to quickly improve asset visibility, control, and threat remediation.

The US Marine Corps is a military service department that serves the US Department of Defense. The organization is responsible for provisioning and overseeing the marine troops and for most ground-based operations. This massive defensive organization is responsible for protecting the data of more than 177,200 active duty members as well as a large number of civilians that aid the forces as well. All of this data could be used in harmful ways if exposed.

Digital infrastructure is the foundation of a modern, connected organization. It encompasses connectivity, cloud, compute, security, storage, applications, databases, IoT, remote networks, and more. Once housed on premises, this infrastructure now extends across regions, offices, work-from-anywhere environments—and across the third-party providers who make digital transformation possible. Securing this digital infrastructure is a growing challenge.

The other week, Bitsight released a piece of high-profile research alerting the public to a high-severity vulnerability potentially allowing attackers to launch one of the most powerful Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks in history. Here’s a summary of what happened and why it matters: Security leaders are asking “now what?” and Bitsight has answers.

Open-source software has been a godsend for the development community. They bring lower development costs, faster application delivery, and greater flexibility; it’s no wonder nearly 90% of modern applications comprise third-party software nowadays. That’s not to say open-source software doesn’t come with its share of pitfalls, including security risks and vulnerabilities.

If you’ve met me, you know I’m pretty direct, so I’m going to preface this whole post by saying: yup, this is being written by a marketer. As SafeBreach’s CMO, I know that going to RSA means being crushed by the immense force of vendors trying to stand out and in some cases using gimmicks. We’re certainly a part of that: did anyone get their tarot read at our booth this year?
