From Uber in 2016 to Okta in 2023 to Sisense in 2024, it’s evident that there’s a pattern behind the tech industry’s most devastating breaches: Data sprawl. Let’s dive into how data sprawl played a part in last week’s Sisense breach, as well as how security teams can be proactive in defending against similar attacks.

As digital infrastructure becomes increasingly integrated into every day operations across various industries, ensuring the security of sensitive information becomes crucial for safeguarding both individuals and organizations from cyber threats. In the vast landscape of cybersecurity risks, two terms stand out: information disclosure and data exposure. Understanding these concepts is vital, as they can significantly impact trust and lead to potential repercussions.

A new survey of physicians details the devastating impact of the Change Healthcare cyber attack on the healthcare sector. In February, a cyber attack on Change Healthcare brought much of the U.S. healthcare system to a halt. The revenue and payment cycle management provider is central to connecting payers, providers and patients within the U.S. healthcare system to ensure payments are made.

As the financial sector continues to adopt cloud technology, regulatory frameworks such as the updated NIS2 Directive and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) are shaping the cybersecurity landscape. Every second counts in such a complex environment: attackers can move quickly in the cloud, so defenders must change their strategies and tools to keep up. The financial sector has always been a prime target for cyber attacks, with the average breach costing almost 6 million US dollars.

A malicious code, commonly known as malware is simply a software created to harm computer systems and applications, make changes to networks, and the victim completely unaware. Unlike accidental security flaws and applications’ configuration failures, which are occurring because of irrelevant mistakes like coding mistakes or other mistakes during development activities, deliberate code is purposely designed in order to cause some harm.

With technological advancements, organizations are moving to the public cloud, which has resulted in a major concern: data security. Traditional methods of managing secrets and sensitive information are proving inadequate, especially when there is a high volume of private data. Here comes the need for HashiCorp Vault: a solution that offers a centralized and robust system to safeguard sensitive information. In this blog, we will explore HashiCorp Vault’s purpose, benefits, and use cases.

Wallarm introduced its ongoing Open Source API Firewall project to the world at the recently concluded Blackhat Asia 2024 conference in Singapore. The open-source API Firewall by Wallarm is a free, lightweight API Firewall designed to protect REST and GraphQL API endpoints across cloud-native environments using API schema validation. By relying on a positive security model, our API Firewall only allows calls that match a predefined API specification while rejecting everything else.
