Organisations across the UK and Ireland must take precautions to protect their systems to reduce their risk of cyberattack.

The analyst firm Frost & Sullivan awarded Trustwave the dual honors of being named 2023 Company of the Year for Managed and Professional Security in the Americas, Excellence in Best Practices, and as the Leading Innovator in the 2023 Frost Radar™: Americas Managed & Professional Security Services Market.

Cyber attacks are common occurrences that often make headlines, but the leakage of personal information, particularly credit card data, can have severe consequences for individuals. It is essential to understand the techniques employed by cyber criminals to steal this sensitive information.

RSAConference 2023 USA hit the nail on the head with this year’s theme: Stronger Together. From the U.S. federal government’s prioritization to promote threat intelligence sharing, to the geopolitical environment and joining of allies to combat cyberwarfare, and the cybersecurity industry’s buzz around frameworks and architectures that prioritize detection and response across the enterprise.

As the United States government, the energy industry, and individual consumers work toward cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions, it is crucial to consider how new and advancing technologies affect, and are affected by, cybersecurity concerns. ­­­­Increasing use of smart energy devices can be useful for consumers to have more control over their energy consumption, but can also pose a security risk if the devices and systems are not adequately protected.

Did you know that you can effortlessly make a small passive income by simply letting an application run on your home computers and mobile phones? It lets others (who pay a fee to a proxy service provider) borrow your Internet Protocol (IP) address for things like watching a YouTube video that isn’t available in their region, conducting unrestricted web scraping and surfing, or browsing dubious websites without attributing the activity to their own IP.

At Vanta, we’ve been on a mission to secure the internet and protect consumer data from day one. We got our start building an automated compliance tool to help companies achieve SOC 2 compliance quickly and painlessly.

Security teams are using automation solutions more and more to achieve consistent and faster response times. Some of these responses require emails to be sent to various users or groups, and traditional methods of sending emails are outdated and not very secure. Security teams also need the ability to read emails from specific mailboxes, whether that is for automating responses to phishing submissions or something similar.

This month, we hosted our most recent SnykLaunch to announce the latest and greatest in Snyk solutions. As with all of our releases, we continue to focus on adapting security to what we see in modern-day development practices. Compared to only a few years ago, more independent development teams are working faster, along with a far more complex software supply chain, including cloud as part of the code. Because development practices look so different today, security teams often struggle to keep up.

Snyk is known for its developer-first application security solutions for many ecosystems like Java, JavaScript, Python, and more. Snyk enables developers to not only find issues but quickly apply fixes, revolutionizing security and supporting its integration at the earliest stages of the SDLC. In 2022, we released the first round of support for C/C++ open source packages, and today we’re excited to announce the Open Beta of C/C++ for Snyk Code and licenses for Snyk Open Source.
