Warm. Rich. Chocolatey. The way I see it, a proper chocolate layer cake is the best sensory experience a human can have. Let’s go a bit further still: good chocolate cake is the height of human achievement. In the world of enterprise IT, one could say the same of a diverse, purpose-built IT infrastructure. Every enterprise application – whether internal or customer-facing – must run on the right server, virtual machine (VM), container or database for the task at hand.

The most significant change in the lifespan of identity security thus far is zero standing privileges (ZSP). Considered to be the next evolution of just-in-time (JIT) access, although it may seem needlessly complex at first, once you wrap your head around the concept, it feels as natural as turning off lights when you leave a room. But first, a bit about me and the journey to ZSP.

This is the second part of the “A Deep Dive into Penetration Testing of macOS Application” blog series. In the first part, we learned about macOS applications and their structure and demonstrated how to build a dummy application. We also talked about System Integrity Protection (SIP) and how to configure common network interception tools. Part two will dive deep into file and binary analysis.

If you stick with any movie through the end credits, you’ll see – not just the household names who act and direct – but the full scope of players who make a film happen. The scroll can seem endless: writers, CGI designers, location scouts… animal handlers and the illustrious “best boy grip.” It’s a wide-ranging ecosystem where everyone plays a role.

In this episode of Trust Issues, host David Puner talks with CyberArk CEO Matt Cohen, who shares his distinct take on leadership – emphasizing the importance of leading without fanfare. Cohen talks about his transition into the CEO role, insights on identity security and the current threat landscape. He also touches on the significance of company culture, professional development – and his admiration for a particular Boston Red Sox manager’s leadership style.

The aviation industry relies on a complex web of players and digital systems to fly passengers safely around the world. Billions of data points flow across this vast interconnected ecosystem – from cloud-based ticketing apps and customer experience portals, to third-party vendors and technology systems, to airport ground operations and in-flight aircraft.

As many of us know, there are a lot of guides and information on penetration testing applications on Windows and Linux. Unfortunately, a step-by-step guide doesn’t exist in the macOS domain to help us through the penetration testing process. This means we had to spend even more time searching the web and experimenting with different tools and techniques to find the most effective approach for our testing.

You’re reading the CyberArk blog (and we thank you for that), so you’re likely familiar with the name Theresa Payton. The cybersecurity visionary, first female White House CIO, best-selling author and founder and CEO of Fortalice Solutions is a powerful industry voice, blending her frontline cybercrime fighting experience with cutting-edge insights to help organizations safely navigate the evolving threat landscape.

While generative AI offers powerful tools for cyber defenders, it’s also enabled cyber attackers to innovate and up the ante when it comes to threats such as malware, vulnerability exploitation and deep fake phishing. All this and we’re still just in the early days of the technology.

ChatGPT knows a lot about Len Noe, CyberArk’s resident technical evangelist, white hat hacker and biohacker. The biohacker piece of his title is a nod to the fact that Noe is transhuman (you might call him a cyborg and be right), which is why his grandkids call him “Robo Papa.” ChatGPT knows all of this.
