How US federal agencies can better meet advanced event logging requirements For the past four years or so, US federal agencies have been working to comply with the requirements set out in OMB M-21-31. Released in 2021, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)’s M-21-31 memorandum provided guidance and requirements for federal agencies in order to improve centralized visibility into logging data before, during, and after cybersecurity incidents.

The evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) agents signals a profound transformation in how businesses operate.

When generative AI first emerged, the cybersecurity community primarily focused on two promising benefits. However, a concerning “third angle” has now been demonstrated: AI as an attacker – powerful AI systems in the hands of malicious actors, autonomously exploiting vulnerabilities with minimal human guidance.

Today, when online threats are always changing, it's more important than ever to keep your network safe. Keep your computer safe with a stateful firewall. It keeps an eye on all open links and sorts data smartly based on security rules, state, and context. In real time, stateful firewalls can decide how to protect your network because they keep track of all live sessions. Without a state, filters look at each file separately, which is not the same thing.

In the digitally savvy world of today, controlling user access across several workplace apps can be difficult. With EMS SSO (Enterprise Management System Single Sign-On), users may log in only once and access numerous platforms securely without having to remember multiple login passwords. This streamlines authentication. Convenience is increased, and security is greatly strengthened by lowering password-related risks.

With Cloudflare Waiting Room, you can safeguard your site from traffic surges by placing visitors in a customizable, virtual queue. Previously, many site visitors waited in the queue alongside bots, only to find themselves competing for inventory once in the application. This competition is inherently unfair, as bots are much faster and more efficient than humans. As a result, humans inevitably lose out in these high-demand situations, unable to secure inventory before bots sweep it all up.

Cross-domain attacks have become a defining challenge in modern cybersecurity, with adversaries exploiting gaps across endpoints, identity systems, and cloud environments to achieve their objectives. These sophisticated attacks use stealthy, malware-free techniques and legitimate tools, making them exceptionally difficult to detect and disrupt.

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, traditional security models fail to protect remote workers and cloud-based applications. Shifting to a secure access service edge (SSE) strategy is an effective and affordable solution that will protect remote workers. SSE solutions deliver firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS) and secure web gateway (SWG) capabilities, ensuring safe, high-performance connectivity to Cloud applications.

Arctic Wolf has recently observed a campaign targeting the healthcare sector, where victims visiting the widely used physical therapy video site HEP2go are redirected to a fake CAPTCHA webpage when they attempt to visit multiple parts of the website. This CAPTCHA provides instructions that trigger PowerShell code execution and the eventual loading of infostealer malware.

It’s no secret that phishing has always relied on deception. Scam-targeted enterprises the world over warn their customers of the social engineering tactics and brand impersonation designed to trick them into handing over credentials. Besides email-based phishing, social media has become a hotbed for phishing attacks, with scammers using fake ads, impersonated accounts, and fraudulent messages to lure users.
