The role of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) or Security Leader has undergone a transformation as profound as the threats we face. Between new regulations such as SEC, NIS2, and DORA, the explosion of generative AI, and the rapidly expanding attack surface, the burden is now on cybersecurity leaders to not only protect the organization but build confidence with customers, regulators, board members, and other stakeholders. The key to building trust? Storytelling.

There’s one question our Security team hears more than any other: Is my 1Password data vulnerable if my device is compromised or infected with malware?

Today, in the heart of London, I caught sight of a screen on platform four at Vauxhall train station. On it was displayed a busy illustration of the marvels of modern transportation: trains moving seamlessly across multiple lines; their positions, destinations, and tracks all displaying tightly orchestrated precision in real-time. It was a compelling depiction of the complexity of a public rail system on a small island–a tightly woven network where data integrity is paramount.

Law enforcement’s impact on LockBit, how unpatched vulnerabilities contribute to ransomware attacks, and Earth Freybug deploys UNAPIMON malware.

In the latest G2 Spring Report, UpGuard ranked as the leading third-party and supplier risk management solution.

Software development moves fast, and many application security teams struggle to keep up. More sophisticated agile, DevOps, and cloud practices, along with the growing use of AI, mean more agility for development teams. However, these innovations are a challenge for security teams, as they must move at this same speed in order to secure applications effectively. Application security posture management (ASPM) directly responds to these emerging challenges.

Two recent Microsoft breaches underscore the growing problem of cloud identity attacks and why it’s critical to stop them. While Microsoft Active Directory (AD) remains a prime target for attackers, cloud identity stores such as Microsoft Entra ID are also a target of opportunity. The reason is simple: Threat actors increasingly seek to mimic legitimate users in the target system. They can just as easily abuse identities from cloud identity providers as they can in on-premises AD environments.

When it comes to data management and disaster recovery, organizations continually seek innovative solutions to streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and bolster resilience. While the standard out of the box tools work for most organizations, some need expanded control and capabilities. In these cases, centralized management is a logical solution that provides administrators with the ability to orchestrate complex IT environments from a single, unified interface.

In the previous article, we discussed high-interaction honeypots and used vcluster to build an intentionally-vulnerable SSH server inside of its own cluster so it couldn’t hurt anything else in the environment when it got owned. Then, we installed Falco on the host and proceeded to attack the SSH server, watching the Falco logs to see the appropriate rule trigger when we read /etc/shadow.
