Is Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) Enough? Definition and Future Innovations
Discover how UEM strengthens device management efforts and how endpoint management is evolving to meet modern endpoint security needs.
Fundamentals of GraphQL-specific attacks
Developers are constantly exploring new technologies that can improve the performance, flexibility, and usability of applications. GraphQL is one such technology that has gained significant attention for its ability to fetch data efficiently. Unlike the traditional REST API, which requires multiple round trips to the server to gather various pieces of data, GraphQL allows developers to retrieve all the needed data in a single request.
Guidelines For Determining the CUI Decontrol Eligibility
One of the biggest burdens on any government agency or contractor is dealing with controlled unclassified information, or CUI. This information requires oversight, security, access control, and record-keeping – all part of the general “control” of that information – and keeping track of it all can be a huge task. One way in which this task is made easier is through the process of decontrol.
Identity, Endpoints, and the Cloud Drive the Microsoft Security Product E5 Decision
For companies with the Microsoft 365 E3 license, the decision on whether to upgrade to 365 E5 is likely taken into consideration, and security should certainly be included. With E5, companies will likely find security upgrades in three key areas: identity management, endpoints, and cloud. So says David Broggy, Trustwave's Senior Solutions Architect, Implementation Services, and a 2024 recipient of the Microsoft MVP Award, in a recent webinar on transitioning from Microsoft E3 to E5.
Attackers Using HTTP Response Headers to Redirect Victims to Phishing Pages
Researchers at Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 warn that attackers are using refresh entries in HTTP response headers to automatically redirect users to phishing pages without user interaction. “Unit 42 researchers observed many large-scale phishing campaigns in 2024 that used a refresh entry in the HTTP response header,” the researchers write. “From May-July we detected around 2,000 malicious URLs daily that were associated with campaigns of this type.
GitGuardian's FP Remover Dramatically Reduces False Positive In Scans
Do you hate false positives in your secrets scan results? We do too. GitGuardian has introduced a whole new approach to eliminating false positives, eliminating them by around 50% so far. And we are just getting started! GitGuardian's Machine Learning experts and Secret Detection team have created "FP Remover", a new in-house machine learning model that significantly reduces false positives by understanding code context and semantics while enforcing security and privacy best practices.
How To Use USB Blocking To Prevent Data Leaks
As digital threats evolve, safeguarding sensitive data has become more important than ever, especially for businesses using removable storage devices like USB drives. While these external devices boost productivity, they also increase the risk of data breaches if not properly managed. Unprotected peripheral ports serve as unguarded entry points for data thieves and malicious software, highlighting the critical need to secure these access interfaces.
LLMs Gone Wild: AI Without Guardrails
From the moment ChatGPT was released to the public, offensive actors started looking to use this new wealth of knowledge to further nefarious activities. Many of the controls we have become familiar with didn’t exist in its early stages. The ability to request malicious code or the process to execute an advanced attack was there for the asking from an open prompt. This proved that the models could provide adversarial recommendations and new attacks never before seen.
Understanding the Differences Between DORA and NIS 2
Two significant pieces of European legislation stand out as cybersecurity regulations evolve: the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and the NIS 2 Directive. Both aim to enhance cybersecurity but target different sectors and have distinct objectives and requirements.
4 Simple Steps to Implement Risk-Based Vulnerability Management
Imagine if your fire alarm sensor went off every time you burned your toast or lit candles on a birthday cake. After a few false alarms, you’d probably start ignoring them or even turn your sensor off just to get some peace. This is what many information security teams are experiencing with vulnerability alerts.
