Berachain is a novel blockchain created to solve consensus mechanism incentive misalignment. For traditional Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchains, users have to lock their assets in order to participate in the security model and earn staking rewards. This results in incentive misalignment as the projects building on these blockchains want activity and volumes – this competes with the native security mechanism of staking which requires assets to be locked up.

During 2024’s Birthday Week, we launched an AI bot & crawler traffic graph on Cloudflare Radar that provides visibility into which bots and crawlers are the most aggressive and have the highest volume of requests, which crawl on a regular basis, and more. Today, we are launching a new dedicated “AI Insights” page on Cloudflare Radar that incorporates this graph and builds on it with additional metrics that you can use to understand AI-related trends from multiple perspectives.

Unfortunately, storing, saving, and backing up our files is not a 100% guarantee that our files will remain secure forever. We may accidentally delete our accounts, forget passwords to old backups, or worse, experience data loss due to corruption, hardware failure, or cyberattacks. It’s not just our personal files that we must keep in mind.

WatchGuard Senior Product Marketing Manager Stephen Helm discusses how XDR can harness AI across your entire IT environment – correlating data from networks, Cloud services, VPN logs, and more into a single, AI-driven security framework. Cyber threats are evolving fast, and your clients rely on you to stay ahead.

Are You Testing for Compliance or Preparing for Real Attacks? Cybersecurity isn’t just about checking boxes—it’s about staying ahead of threats. Many businesses rely on Penetration Testing (Pentesting) and Red Teaming to identify vulnerabilities. However, these traditional methods often assume that attackers play by the same rules as defenders. Reality has other plans.

In a previous Trustwave SpiderLabs’ blog, we explored how cybercriminals exploit Facebook Messenger chatbots to execute social engineering attacks, deceiving users into falling victim to scams and phishing schemes. These attacks often rely on the perceived legitimacy of automated systems to manipulate users into sharing sensitive information.

The rapid rise of generative AI (genAI) applications is reshaping enterprise technology strategies, pushing security leaders to reevaluate risk, compliance, and data governance policies. The latest surge in DeepSeek usage is a wake-up call for CISOs, illustrating how quickly new genAI tools can infiltrate the enterprise. In only 48 hours, Netskope Threat Labs observed a staggering 1,052% increase in DeepSeek usage across our customer base.

This article provides details on how Bitsight TRACE addressed CVE-2024-23897, an arbitrary file read vulnerability that affects Jenkins, a well-known open-source automation server. It includes technical details, common pitfalls, and decisions made since the CVE disclosure until now. The investigation of CVE-2024-23897 is an example of how we can obtain the target instance version but not solely rely on it to classify an instance as vulnerable. First, we go deep to understand the vulnerability.

In today’s flexible and fast-paced digital environment, email still remains the backbone of communication for many organizations. Employee email accounts are chock-full of sensitive information from intellectual property to customer data, which makes securing email servers crucial. Data leakage and unauthorized access not only disrupt operations and cost time and money to fix, but they can also damage an organization’s reputation.
