In the cybersecurity profession, some names stick out among the great creators and contributors. I recently had the opportunity to speak with Richard Benham about the role of a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). Professor Richard Benham is known globally as a pioneer in the world of Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, and Cyber Warfare.
A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. For a daily selection see our twitter feed at #ionCube24. Ouch! A breach which according to some is being down played. Not a great impression.
Security and observability data go hand in hand when it comes to application health. If you can put those two sources of data behind a single pane of glass you can make your life a lot easier. By leveraging the different options that the Snyk platform provides, you can send all your application security vulnerabilities found by Snyk directly to your New Relic observability platform. Let’s see how!
Multiple reports in the media, including in Bloomberg US Edition, allege that Russian-associated cybercrime group Killnet is responsible for a series of distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks during the week of October 6 that took several state government and other websites offline.

The finance industry has the second highest average data breach costs at US$5.97 million per breach, according to IBM and Ponemon Institute’s 2022 Cost of a Data Breach report. While strict regulations force finance companies to invest heavily in protecting customer data, their third-party vendors don’t necessarily do the same. Finance security teams need a proactive approach to third-party risk management. Visibility into your vendor’s attack surface is critical.
Keeper Security, the leading provider of zero-trust, zero-knowledge and FedRAMP Authorized cybersecurity software, today announces the launch of Share Admin, a powerful new feature for its award-winning Enterprise Password Management (EPM) Platform.

In Part 1, we explained what Intel SGX enclaves are and how they benefit ransomware authors. In Part 2, we explore a hypothetical step-by-step implementation and outline the limitations of this method. Watch this live attack demo to see how the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform and the CrowdStrike Falcon Complete™ managed detection and response team protect against ransomware.
Documenting flaws that you don't prioritize today will save you time should they become high-severity flaws in the future. Here's the best way to approach them. The topic of mitigations is a commonplace source of questions and discussion for our Application Security Consulting group.
