With NIS 2 becoming part of national laws, compliance has become mandatory for organizations within its scope. ‍ Although NIS 2 has addressed some of its predecessor’s shortcomings by expanding its scope and setting clearer security and reporting requirements, it remains demanding for security and compliance teams. Its prescriptive guidance and requirements are still limited in certain areas, which can leave teams uncertain about the exact steps to take.

Secrets sprawl is a growing cybersecurity challenge, especially with NHIs. GitGuardian's new NHI Governance product offers centralized inventory and lifecycle management to help enterprises regain control over their secrets and prevent costly breaches.

Security teams are faced with an ongoing challenge when it comes to exposure and vulnerability management. It’s not the actual discovery of the vulnerability that poses the challenge, but what to do once you discover one. Without a structured process, IT and security teams struggle to address vulnerabilities efficiently, and are in a constantly reactive mode, and struggle to address vulnerabilities efficiently, increasing potential risks.

Researchers at Foresiet have analyzed a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) known as NetSupport Manager. Originally developed as a legitimate remote access and IT support tool, NetSupport Manager has a history spanning over two decades. It provides features such as file transfer, remote desktop sharing, chat support, screen monitoring, and inventory tracking. However, in recent years, threat actors have increasingly weaponized this tool in malicious campaigns.

The answer depends on who you ask – and how they approach threat detection.

We have become so reliant on communicating on the Internet that sometimes we need to take a minute to consider how our data is being protected and whether what we send on the Internet is truly safe. While end-to-end encryption has become integral to protecting our data online, you may be thinking, can end-to-end encryption be hacked?

Signature-based detections provide fast, effective defense against known attacks. But the threat landscape is rapidly changing: Attackers are utilizing novel, sophisticated techniques that can bypass traditional, signature-based detection methods and also weaponizing legitimate tools and processes to avoid established detection tools, including endpoint detection. In this dynamic environment, organizations must in turn deploy new detection techniques to keep pace.

The Latin American technology landscape is growing rapidly, with organizations embracing digital transformation and cloud-native development. This growth brings incredible opportunities to this market – but can also introduce significant security challenges that can slow innovation if not addressed proactively.

In healthcare, preventative medicine is always more effective, less costly, and has better outcomes than waiting until after a serious heart incident occurs. It’s an apt analogy for cybersecurity as well. Prophylactic (preventative) care in cybersecurity yields far better outcomes than constantly scrambling to respond to critical incidents. Yet, many healthcare organizations find themselves buried by an avalanche of newly discovered vulnerabilities and regulatory pressures.

Malware hasn’t just increased—it’s become harder to detect. Evasive techniques are reshaping the threat landscape and pushing traditional security models to their limits. Today’s advanced malware campaigns are consistently slipping past multiple layers of defense—from email and network to endpoints—challenging even the most robust infrastructures.
