How IT Teams Can Protect Their Organization's Social Media Accounts

Social media managers play a pivotal part in enabling brands to raise awareness and connect with customers online. In that role, they sift through irrelevant and sometimes offensive content to provide prompt support and accurate information on popular platforms like Tik Tok, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook. Social media is a common entry point for cybercriminals looking to get inside an organization.

The Limitations of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

Every IT environment – whether it’s on-prem or in the cloud, and regardless of how it’s designed or what runs in it – is made up of endpoints. That’s why Endpoint Detection and Response, or EDR, has typically been one of the pillars of cybersecurity. EDR helps businesses monitor each of their endpoints for security risks so that they can detect problems before they escalate to other endpoints.

How Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Attacks Work & How To Prevent Them

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks are bad news. And they can affect lots of people, often unknowingly. Chief among the top cybersecurity threats affecting users worldwide, any website with unsafe elements can become vulnerable to XSS attacks — making visitors to that website unwitting cyberattack victims. To secure your website from XSS attacks, you must first know what they are.

Top Five Cybersecurity Pain Points of 2023 - Internet Trends Analysis

According to an analysis realized on millions of comments and posts from technical communities and forums on the internet, these are currently the biggest cybersecurity needs or pain points that are lacking solutions or improvement across organizations: It’s worth noting that the above-mentioned concerns can vary by organization size, industry, and specific use case, but they are the common pain points that are frequently mentioned in the online communities and forums.

Advanced persistent threats (APTs) Prevention with SIEM Systems

Advanced persistent threats (APTs) and targeted attacks are a growing concern for organizations of all sizes. These types of cyber attacks are characterized by their high level of sophistication and the ability to evade traditional security measures. In order to defend against APTs, organizations need to adopt a multi-layered approach that includes implementing security information and event management (SIEM) systems.

Are XDR System replacing SIEM?

XDR (Extended Detection and Response) systems and SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) systems share some similarities, but they are not exactly the same and do not necessarily replace each other. XDR systems are a newer technology that is designed to provide organizations with a more comprehensive view of their security posture by collecting and analyzing data from multiple sources, such as endpoints, networks, and cloud environments.

Why do we need a new approach to SAST?

Many companies provide legacy static application security testing (SAST) tools or engines, but their usefulness has not kept pace with the needs of an application-driven world. In order to succeed, businesses need a modern approach to SAST that will greatly improve it’s value in the software development lifecycle. In this blog, I look at the problems with traditional SAST tools, why there needs to be a change of approach in the SAST market, and what the future holds for SAST.

Exploiting CVE-2021-3490 for Container Escapes

Today, containers are the preferred approach to deploy software or create build environments in CI/CD lifecycles. However, since the emergence of container solutions and environments like Docker and Kubernetes, security researchers have consistently found ways to escape from containers once they are compromised. Most attacks are based on configuration errors.
