It is no longer surprising that cybercriminals are constantly searching for vulnerabilities to exploit. This is why patch management has become increasingly important in recent years. In fact, Verizon's 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report revealed a significant 180% increase compared to the previous year. This highlights the urgency of having a solid patch management process in place.

The European Union’s AI Act, set to be enforced in 2025, is set to transform how businesses approach artificial intelligence. Designed to regulate AI development and deployment, the Act aims to ensure ethical, safe, and transparent AI usage. However, many organisations still struggle with compliance.

On March 19, 2025, Veeam published a security advisory for a critical severity vulnerability impacting their Backup & Replication software. The advisory did not provide technical details regarding the vulnerability, although it did mention that it could be exploited by authenticated domain users.

Organisations must adopt robust compliance strategies to align with the EU AI Act’s stringent requirements. This involves implementing effective data governance frameworks, ensuring data quality and integrity, and leveraging advanced data security solutions.

It’s common for many organizations to postpone establishing a robust Disaster Recovery Program until after their product is already in the market. While development and operational builds are critical for launching an outstanding product, disaster recovery planning often gets sidelined. However, it’s increasingly important for institutions to prioritize the safekeeping of private key materials, which are crucial for accessing and managing digital assets.

An attacker doesn’t need your password anymore. They don’t even need to break your MFA. They just need to get ahold of your session. And once they have it, they are you. Organizations have focused on securing access for two decades, initially relying on passwords. When passwords proved weak and insufficient, multi-factor authentication (MFA) emerged as the new standard. It was a substantial improvement, adding an extra layer of security to verify users.
