From Regulation to Remediation: How AI IoT Risk Management Simplifies with Trust Scores

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to expand across industries, risk management has become one of the most pressing challenges for security and compliance leaders. The convergence of AI and IoT (ai iot) is accelerating this transformation, introducing new opportunities but also creating a more complex risk landscape that requires advanced approaches to risk management.

Downstream Data: Investigating AI Data Leaks in Flowise

Low-code workflow builders have flourished in the AI wave, providing the “shovels and picks” for non-technical users to make AI-powered apps. Flowise is one of those tools and, like others in its category, it has the potential to leak data when configured without user authentication. To understand the risk of misconfigured Flowise instances, we investigated over a hundred data exposures found in the wild.

Shadow IT: The Haunting Inside Your Network

According to Bitsight TRACE’s 2025 State of the Underground report, the most exposed devices tied to critical vulnerabilities were found in the United States, and the most affected sectors included Information (telecom, IT) and Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (including security and software vendors).

Why Infostealer Malware Demands a New Defense Strategy

Modern breaches rarely begin with a brute-force attack on a firewall, they now start with a user login. Valid account credentials are now a top initial access vector, responsible for 30% of all intrusions. In this post, we address a common misconception surrounding the inforstealer malware that may be putting you at risk of a data breach.

Resilience After the Breach: 6 Cyber Incident Response Best Practices

In its 2025 State of the Underground report, Bitsight TRACE found that ransomware activity continued to escalate in 2024, with a 25% increase in unique victims listed on leak sites and a 53% increase in the number of ransomware group-operated leak sites. The report also observed a 43% increase in data breaches shared on underground forums, with nearly one in five victims based in the United States. These findings highlight a continued upward trend in cyberattack activity.

Overcoming Cybersecurity and Risk Management Challenges

Every time you leave your home, you take various risks, like being in a car accident or being struck down by a meteor. In some cases, like the meteor, the likelihood of the event is so low as to be nearly nonexistent. In others, like the car accident, the likelihood might be higher. Similarly, every technology that you connect to your networks creates a cybersecurity security risk. Any device or application that connects to the public internet can be an entry point for attackers.

The Rise of AI Abuse: A story of Criminal GPTs, DeepFakes, Data Breaches, AI Malware, and Agentic Sleeper Agents

In late 2022, AI exploded into the mainstream with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, starting an AI-fuelled shift in both everyday life and the cyber threat landscape. Just as quickly as everyday users rushed to adopt the technology, so did threat actors. From generating phishing pretexts to writing malware and crafting deepfakes, AI systems have become both a new tool and a new target.

10 Common Vulnerabilities Found During Software Audits - and How to Fix Them

A software audit is not a checklist but a thorough examination into the internal workings of your system that lurking vulnerabilities are usually hiding. Thousands of breaches every year are due to organizations not paying early attention to software audit vulnerabilities that might have been noticed and eliminated at an early stage. This article exposes the top ten vulnerabilities that are oftentimes encountered during software audits, why they occur, and offers some remediation measures that can be taken.

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for Cyber Risk Quantification

While the average costs of cyber events rise, so do cybersecurity budgets, albeit at an extremely minimal level. This fiscal reality, which will only become more pressing as organizations scale their cyber GRC programs according to the external risk landscape, has made it all the more critical for chief information security officers (CISOs) and other security and risk managers (SRMs) to be able to evaluate the ROI of the various solutions and initiatives they implement.
