The rapid expansion of the digital landscape adds increasing complexity to cybersecurity, especially for enterprises that could have up to 100,000 vendors in their supply chain. Addressing these challenges requires implementing an Attack Surface Management (ASM) strategy tailored to enterprise businesses' unique risk profiles. This post outlines the importance of ASM for enterprises and offers a strategy for ensuring its effective implementation.

As financial institutions continue to expand their digital ecosystems, the growing reliance on third-party vendors and service providers introduces significant cyber risks. With a majority of data breaches linked to vulnerabilities in the supply chain, managing these risks has become a necessity.

‍Security questionnaires are a standard part of almost every due diligence process before companies sign on to work with a new third party. ‍ By asking detailed questions via questionnaires, organizations learn about a seller’s security controls and compliance with relevant standards. With that information, they determine how and if a partnership with that third party will expand their attack surface and increase risk—and ultimately decide if the increased risk is acceptable.

To compete in an era of dynamic, multimodal cyberattacks, cybersecurity programs must become multidimensional, capable of simultaneously contending with a wide range of cyber threats. In this post, we explain how your organization can develop such a multipronged approach with a branch of cybersecurity known as cybersecurity threat detection.

This is a continuation of our series on web application security. If you haven't already read through parts 1 and 2, this is a good time to go back. If not, let's move on and answer the question left hanging during our last installment: what are request methods, including the POST request method, and how does logging out of a website work when it comes to cookies and session IDs? Let's also tackle the more important issue of how to combat cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.

Today, I am thrilled to announce the official closing of Bitsight’s acquisition of Cybersixgill, a leading provider of cyber threat intelligence solutions. This is not only a pivotal step in our long-term vision—it’s a reinforcement of our promise to help each and every one of our customers to make smarter, faster risk decisions. Bitsight was founded on the belief that cyber risk is not binary.

Vulnerability identification is a key part of application security (AppSec). This process entails tracking and reporting the number of vulnerabilities found and fixed to give stakeholders clear insight into the organization’s security posture. However, identifying and monitoring vulnerabilities using traditional methods can make risk evaluation more difficult.

While Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) is a powerful approach for discovering, monitoring, and managing sensitive data across complex systems, it is not without its challenges. These hurdles often stem from the complexity of modern data environments, evolving threats, and operational constraints. Below are the primary challenges associated with DSPM.

Malware, short for malicious software, refers to any software specifically designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or user data. In today’s digital age, malware attacks have become a persistent threat, targeting individuals, businesses, and even governments.
