The transition of AI from experimental to production is not without its challenges. Developers face the challenge of balancing rapid innovation with the need to protect users and meet strict regulatory requirements. To address this, we are introducing Guardrails in AI Gateway, designed to help you deploy AI safely and confidently.

ByBit’s recent attack has exposed a critical flaw in how many exchanges approach security. The real-time transaction manipulation that took place wasn’t just an unfortunate event—it was a direct consequence of mispurposed security architectures that sophisticated attackers are all too ready to exploit.

CrowdStrike is excited to announce the general availability of CrowdStrike Falcon Identity Protection for Microsoft Entra ID, unifying prevention, detection and response to identity-based attacks across hybrid environments. This builds on our existing protection for leading cloud-based identity providers, on-premises Active Directory, and SaaS applications.

Security through obscurity is based on the idea that if attackers don’t know how a system works or even if it exists, they’ll have a harder time breaching it. Despite repeatedly broken implementations and lacking support from standards bodies, this concept continues to be widely used. Secret doesn’t always mean safe – and it can even give a false sense of security.

It's no surprise that 18–29-year-olds are turning to social media for cybersecurity information. As digital natives, this age group naturally gravitates toward platforms where information is fast, accessible, and constantly updated. But how effectively are they absorbing these short snippets—and are they likely to share it forward? More importantly, what happens if that cybersecurity information is inaccurate?

Now that six in ten security leaders view AI as a “game changer” across all security functions and 85% of security professionals report increased AI investment and usage in the past year, it’s clear that AI is no longer a fringe technology in security operations. But the AI conversation has evolved recently as a new buzzword has taken over: agentic AI.

While malware growth is something we have been experiencing over the past few years, the increase observed by WatchGuard's threat lab team in Q3 2024 was the highest to date. Q3 saw astronomical growth in total endpoint malware threats, reaching 300.48% with 420,304 threats. The previous high was recorded in Q1 2024, when there was an 81.77% rise, almost double the previous quarter. However, Q3 almost quadrupled the figure for Q2 2024 when 104,951 threats were detected.
