Cyber security is a critical business enabler. Proactive cyber security measures, such as penetration testing, threat monitoring, and staff training, reduce the likelihood of breaches and operational disruption. However, demonstrating the return on investment (ROI) of these initiatives can be difficult to quantify.

The retail sector approaches the 2025 peak holiday season facing a perfect storm. We are no longer contending with opportunistic human fraudsters or rudimentary scripts. We face a tidal wave of autonomous, generative AI-powered agents capable of mimicking human behavior. According to Ran Arad, a subject matter expert at Memcyco, we must view phishing, digital impersonation, and account takeover (ATO) as an interrelated lifecycle. Usually, a phishing attack provides the link to an impersonating site.

Two Indiana healthcare providers, Goshen Health System and Hancock Regional Hospital, recently reached settlements tied to the use of website tracking technologies, including Meta Pixel.

If you’ve browsed the FedRAMP marketplace in the interest of using a government-certified service, either as part of your own services or on behalf of an agency, you’ve likely seen the various -aaS designations.

Cybercriminals are aware of this and exploit the saturation to launch ransomware campaigns, phishing attempts, and supply chain attacks that aim to disrupt operations, steal sensitive data, and cause maximum impact.

A large phishing campaign is using phony seasonal party invites to trick users into installing remote management and monitoring (RMM) tools, according to researchers at Symantec. “A highly active threat actor that specializes in using the ScreenConnect remote management and monitoring (RMM) software in its attacks has changed tactics and is now infecting its victims with multiple RMM tools, including LogMeIn Resolve and Naverisk,” Symantec says.

Here's a curious thing about people, sometimes we crave the familiar, and sometimes we demand the novel. Go see Metallica live. What do you want? Enter Sandman. Master of Puppets. The songs you know by heart. Play some deep cut from a B-side and watch 50,000 people suddenly become very interested in their phones. But go see your favourite comedian and the contract flips entirely. Tell me a joke I've heard before and I'll ask for my money back. The difference?

Applications have long evolved from monolithic structures to complex, cloud-native architectures. This means that the tried-and-true methods we rely on are becoming dangerously outdated. For AppSec to keep pace, we must look beyond current tooling and revisit the very fundamentals of DAST – the automated discipline of black box testing.
