IoT devices have become a vital component of worldwide business operations for different industries, including healthcare, IT, transportation, etc. Organizations that invest in IoT deliver more value to their consumers than others. According to a report by Statista, the number of IoT devices is estimated to be 17.08 billion in 2024, and the figure is showing no signs of stopping. But as its usage is continuously increasing, so are the security concerns!

The recent years' events, including the proliferation of ransomware, the pandemic, and political tensions, have fast-tracked the development of both offensive and defensive tools in the cyber domain. Cybersecurity concepts that were nascent a few years ago are now being refined, demonstrating the practical benefits of modern digital risk management strategies.

You're browsing your inbox and spot an email that looks like it's from a brand you trust. Yet, something feels off. This might be a phishing attempt, a common tactic where cybercriminals impersonate reputable entities — we've written about the top 50 most impersonated brands used in phishing attacks. One factor that can be used to help evaluate the email's legitimacy is its Top-Level Domain (TLD) — the part of the email address that comes after the dot.

In February 2024, Lookout discovered an advanced phishing kit targeting the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), along with several cryptocurrency platforms. While most people think of email as the realm of phishing attacks, this threat actor — known as CryptoChameleon — used the phishing kit to build a carbon copies of single sign-on (SSO) pages, then used a combination of email, SMS, and voice phishing to target mobile device users.

In the rapidly advancing realm of cloud-native security, Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) emerges as a critical framework, ensuring organizations maintain robust control over their data assets. As cloud environments evolve, understanding and implementing DSPM becomes vital for better securing data defenses. In this blog post, we'll delve into the basics of DSPM, its significance in cloud-native security and how Panoptica approaches DSPM within its CNAPP solution.

In today’s cloud-native world, systems are usually accessed by users from multiple devices and in various geographic locations. Anyone who has tried to operationalize an impossible travel type alert for cloud resources will understand the myriad nuances and gotchas involved in such an endeavor. A user may be accessing a cloud resource from a mobile device that is tied to a carrier network well away from their normal geographic location.

New data shows increased expertise in leveraging and exploiting cloud environments. CrowdStrike’s 2024 Global Threat Report shows that targeted attacks on cloud environments have increased, signaling that the cybercrime economy has realized the “untapped market” of the cloud environment.

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, organizations are increasingly relying on Kubernetes and cloud environments to drive agility, scalability, and innovation. However, this shift has introduced complex challenges in Kubernetes backup and disaster recovery, especially when managing resources across multi-cloud and on-premises environments.

Jump to Tutorial Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is a scalable, high-speed, web-based cloud storage service designed for online backup and archiving of data and applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS). It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers and allows you to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. Amazon Linux, on the other hand, is a Linux server operating system from AWS, which is engineered for high performance and stability.

Whenever a business wants to work with the federal government, they are going to have to comply with certain frameworks to guarantee that, as part of the federal supply chain, it is secured to an appropriate level. The specific frameworks and standards vary based on factors such as impact levels and whether or not you’re in an industry with specific guidelines, like HIPAA or DoD standards.
