In today’s digital environment, encrypted traffic has become the norm, with over 90% of web communications now utilizing encryption. While this secures data in transit, it has become a blind spot for enterprises, enabling attackers to hide malware within encrypted channels. According to the Q3 2024 Cato CTRL SASE Threat Report, organizations that enable TLS inspection block 52% more malicious traffic than organizations than don’t.

Today, we published the Q3 2024 Cato CTRL SASE Threat Report, which summarizes findings from Cato CTRL’s analysis of 1.46 trillion network flows across more than 2,500 customers globally between July and September 2024.

A critical authentication bypass vulnerability has been identified in the WordPress plugin Really Simple Security (formerly known as Really Simple SSL), affecting both its free and Pro versions.

IONIX today announced the release of our Cloud Exposure Validator, a tool designed to reduce cloud vulnerability management noise shifting focus to findings that represent the biggest threats.

Cybersecurity threats grow more sophisticated by the day. Amid this constant change, one truth remains: people are simultaneously our greatest security vulnerability and our strongest line of defense. It’s time to empower organizations with a new approach that minimizes human risk and maximizes protection.

Based on our reading, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), is at a fundamental level, a transformative ICT challenge. DORA makes the speed and accuracy of security threat detection and response a board-level concern. Fail to stop, classify and report on cyber incidents accurately and, from 2025 onwards, your organisation could face a fine of 1% of global turnover.

Blind Cross-Site Scripting is a type of Cross-Site Scripting attack in which the injected script is executed in the context of another page and different circumstances compared to the page in which it was inserted. Blind XSS differs from regular XSS attacks as the attacker cannot see the effect of the injected script in his or her browser since the script is executed in a place that the attacker can not access.

Azure is Microsoft’s cloud, allowing for software and hardware-based or hosted in the cloud and providing computing, analytical, storage, and networking services.
