Supply Chain Cybersecurity Strategies for Modern Business

The widening attack surface signals a critical risk, and your supply chain is the prime target. Attackers exploit vulnerabilities that were inserted long before the system was onboarded. This enables them to infiltrate data or disrupt systems at any stage, making supply chain attacks a direct and growing risk. A third-party breach compromises your vendor, but a supply chain attack targets you, which is why organizations need to make supply chain cybersecurity a business priority.

Risk Automations: The Shift From Catch-Up to Command

What if your security operations team could reduce the time from risk discovery to resolution, from hours to seconds? 64% of analysts spend more than half of their time on manual tasks. It’s a sobering reality, considering how accelerated detection has become, and the contrast couldn’t be sharper. There are tools that detect zero-day vulnerabilities, map complex attacks, and identify vendor risk exposures, but remediation is still stuck in the age of manual mitigation.

Lookalike Domain Attacks Explained

Your potential customers could be interacting with a malicious website that resembles your company's website. This dangerous cyber risk, known as a lookalike domain, is on the rise, with 80% of registered web domains in 2024 resembling 2000 global brands. This article explains what lookalike domains are, their impact on your brand, and why these attacks are increasing, providing real-time strategies to protect your business from domain spoofing.

Uncovering the Shadow AI Paradox

Does the world really need another study of shadow AI? That was my first thought going into this project. Reading dozens of previous reports did not change that impression: there's a lot of shadow AI out there, and a lot of reports saying so. But the more I read, the more apparent it became that something important was missing. This endless supply was not meeting what was actually in demand.

A CISO's Guide to Defending Against Social Media Impersonation

The platforms your customers trust to connect with your brand are now being weaponized to destroy its reputation. AI is equipping cybercriminals with industrial-scale operations that can replicate your brand presence across all major social platforms in just minutes. This guide provides a CISO's framework for moving from reactive brand monitoring to proactive threat disruption, detailing a four-pillar plan to neutralize these threats before they impact your business.

The Do's & Don'ts of Writing Audit-Proof Risk Assessments

When an auditor walks through your door, they aren't looking for a list of vulnerabilities; they're looking for proof that your Third-Party Cyber Risk Management (TPCRM) program is consistent, defensible, and robust. Internal and external auditors evaluate the Vendor Risk Management process by testing evidence, but they do so with different goals.

Why Risk Assessments Fail Stakeholders: Bridging the Gap

You've been here before. The vendor risk assessment is complete, the report is generated, and it lands on a stakeholder's desk. And yet, this comprehensive, detailed document, which provides vital information on a vendor's security posture, goes nowhere. The handoff lands in limbo.

Downstream Data: Investigating AI Data Leaks in Flowise

Low-code workflow builders have flourished in the AI wave, providing the “shovels and picks” for non-technical users to make AI-powered apps. Flowise is one of those tools and, like others in its category, it has the potential to leak data when configured without user authentication. To understand the risk of misconfigured Flowise instances, we investigated over a hundred data exposures found in the wild.

Why Infostealer Malware Demands a New Defense Strategy

Modern breaches rarely begin with a brute-force attack on a firewall, they now start with a user login. Valid account credentials are now a top initial access vector, responsible for 30% of all intrusions. In this post, we address a common misconception surrounding the inforstealer malware that may be putting you at risk of a data breach.

A CISO's Guide to the Business Risks of AI Development Platforms

The tools designed to build your next product are now being used to build the perfect attack against it. Generative AI platforms can spin up a pixel-perfect replica of your brand's login page in minutes, launching high-fidelity phishing campaigns at a scale and speed that legacy security models cannot handle. This isn't an emerging threat; it's an industrialized phishing engine that’s already being weaponized against businesses.
