All it takes is a single unpatched vulnerability to breach security and gain access to a company’s mission-critical assets. Effective vulnerability management is essential for strong cybersecurity. Vulnerability scans play a key role in this process, offering a clear view of the entire IT infrastructure and identifying existing vulnerabilities. How many times should we run scans? Are we scanning often enough? These are the questions we often get.

The Meduza Stealer, a malware designed for comprehensive data theft, first appeared on dark web forums on June 12, 2023. It was introduced by a mysterious actor known only as 'Meduza,' with prices ranging from $199 to $1199. Since its emergence, it has gained attention across cybercriminal communities for its potent capabilities.

In a troubling development for cybersecurity, the BlackByte ransomware group has shifted tactics by exploiting a newly discovered authentication bypass vulnerability in VMware ESXi, tracked as CVE-2024-37085. This vulnerability has allowed attackers to compromise critical infrastructure within enterprise networks, highlighting a significant shift in the threat landscape.

Gartner’s 2024 Hype Cycle for Application Security is making the rounds, and Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) continues to climb up and around the famous curve, from the Peak of Inflated Expectations in 2023 to this year’s slide towards the Trough of Disillusionment. That’s pretty fast movement for a technology that we haven’t yet succeeded in clearly defining!

The outlook of cyber threats in this modern cyber warfare theater has changed a great deal. Annually, 60% businesses drop victims to data breaches and cyber-attacks. Security teams intrinsically find themselves in a scenario whereby they lack visibility and control of the network traffic and are incidentally unable to detect and respond in real-time. To this regard, modern cybersecurity strategies now incorporate network forensics into their arsenal of defenses.

Organizations are increasingly relying on open source software (OSS) to accelerate development and innovation. However, with great power comes great responsibility – and in this case, significant security risks. Enter the curated OSS catalog, a solution that ensures secure-by-default OSS usage. Let’s explore what a curated OSS catalog are and who stands to benefit from them.

Unlike traditional software, where testing is relatively straightforward, Gen AI apps introduce complexities that make testing far more intricate. This blog explores why traditional software testing methodologies fall short for Gen AI applications and highlights the unique challenges posed by these advanced technologies.

With tens of thousands of potential threats lurking in remote corners of the deep and dark web, organizations are increasingly at risk of being targeted by cyber attackers or having their sensitive information traded or leaked online. Deep and dark web monitoring enables businesses to safeguard their digital assets and accelerate visibility of online threats, protecting their brand and reputation.

While it was not called ASM, the concept of managing attack surface management began with basic asset management practices in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Organizations focused on keeping an inventory of their digital assets, such as servers, desktops, and network devices. The primary objective was to maintain an accurate record of these assets to ensure proper configuration and patch management.
