23andMe is a popular genetics testing company, which was valued at $6B in 2021. Unfortunately, there was a massive data breach in December 2023, which caused a steep decline in the company’s value and trust, plummeting the company to a penny stock. While this breach was not directly related to Kubernetes, the same risks apply to containers running in your Kubernetes environments.

With the rapid adoption of AI-enabled services into production applications, it’s important that organizations are able to secure the AI/ML components coming into their software supply chain. The good news is that even if you don’t have a tool specifically for scanning models themselves, you can still apply the same DevSecOps best practices to securing model development.

Today, we’re announcing new capabilities of CrowdStrike Falcon Identity Protection to further strengthen our industry-leading identity threat detection and response (ITDR) technology and help customers secure their cloud-based identity environments from cyberattacks.

The European Union (EU) is taking a significant step forward in the fight against cybercrime by introducing the Network and Information Systems Directive 2, or NIS 2. This directive represents a major overhaul of cybersecurity regulations across the continent, aiming to bolster defenses against the ever-evolving threats of the digital age. In this first of four blog posts, we will introduce the basics of NIS 2.

If you're in a business that handles credit cards, you already know how crucial it is to keep that data secure. PCI DSS is a set of compliance requirements that ensure all companies handling cardholder data keep it secure. And that it's not just a good idea—it's a must. As cyber threats become more sophisticated, it's challenging to keep pace with complex security and compliance landscapes.

Imagine this: a sales representative at your company needs to update customer information in your CRM system. She enters her login credentials, but the system rejects them.

One reason organizations have difficulty defending against cyber threats is their attack surfaces are constantly growing, creating more entry points for bad actors to target. And target they will, creating an onslaught of alerts that drive the need for managed detection and response (MDR) services and other measures to help thwart them. Numerous trends are driving the increase in attack surface, including the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

Protecting your e-commerce platform from unauthorized changes and skimming attacks is paramount for maintaining trust and ensuring compliance with PCI DSS 4.0, specifically requirement 11.6.

Years of accumulated security debt due to unaddressed software vulnerabilities and inadequate security configurations plague the applications that support our government functions. The age and size of applications play a significant role in the accumulation of security debt. The State of Software Security 2024 report provides a detailed analysis of how these factors correlate with security vulnerabilities, particularly in older and larger applications.
