Purpose: Help payment service providers achieve PCI DSS Level 1 compliance with enterprise-grade security. Scope: Technical requirements across network, data, access, physical, and cloud environments. Outcome: A compliant, breach-resistant system that builds trust and streamlines audits. Methodology: Real-world pentesting, layered defenses, and compliance-driven implementation. In 2023 alone, the payments industry handled north of 3.4 trillion transactions worth >$1.8 quadrillion.

DLP emerged at a time when corporate IT environments were relatively straightforward. Employees worked primarily from corporate offices, data resided in on-premises servers, and communications happened through company-managed email systems and file shares. Traditional DLP solutions were designed to thrive in this environment.

As organizations continue to face an increasing number of sophisticated threats that require advanced managed detection and response capabilities, Trustwave has developed a series of solutions to help maintain a high level of security. One such solutions is Trustwave’s Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) with Co-Managed Security Operations Center (SOC) offering.

Most of the time on the Ignyte blog, we talk about overarching security frameworks like FedRAMP, CMMC, and ISO 27001. Sometimes, though, it’s worth digging deeper into smaller-scale elements of these frameworks. Today’s target is ISO 27017, the ISO/IEC publication focusing on cloud service security. What does this document entail, who needs to use it, and what does compliance involve? Let’s discuss.

Security Operations Centre (SOC) teams have never had it easy - but today, the complexity of defending against cyber threats has taken on an entirely new dimension. You’ve secured endpoints, networks, and cloud infrastructure. But the biggest threats are at the human layer, where visibility is lacking and most breaches begin.

Sim swapping scams have exponentially increased in recent years, with the FBI reporting approximately $25.9 million in losses from 800 reported cases in 2024 alone. This increase isn’t just about money but represents a fundamental vulnerability in how we secure our digital lives. Scammers try to hijack your phone number by convincing your mobile provider to transfer your number to their device.

In a fast-paced reality like today, cyber foes are becoming increasingly advanced. Among the stealthiest and most overlooked dangers is the zip bomb attack, also referred to as a decompression bomb. Zip bomb attacks are far from harmless compressed files. They can cripple your systems, shut down antivirus software. They allow more serious intrusions to occur without common malware. You are certainly not alone if the idea of zip bombs is unfamiliar to you.

Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) penetration testing compliance is a formal and systematic assessment that all Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) must conduct before providing their services to the U.S. government to meet stringent security criteria. The hands-on test allows security professionals to emulate the techniques of malicious actors to determine whether they can bypass the system’s security measures.

Is agentic AI the productivity revolution we've been waiting for, or a security nightmare in the making? With AI agents now outnumbering humans and secrets proliferating across enterprise systems, the answer isn't simple. Read our insights from SecDays {France} 2025.

Evil Twin attack prevention has become more difficult than ever. With affordable, easy-to-use tools, these attacks are now more accessible and harder to detect, leaving customers vulnerable to sophisticated account takeovers without the usual phishing hallmarks. Tools like the Wi-Fi Pineapple Mark VII ($299) create rogue networks and phishing portals, while the ESP8266 Deauther V4 ($15) disrupts Wi-Fi handshakes to force devices onto less secure networks.
