Amid growing concerns about the integrity of upcoming European elections in 2024, the 11th edition of the Threat Landscape report by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), released on October 19, 2023, reveals alarming findings about the rising threats posed by AI-enabled information manipulation.

It goes without saying that organizations must back up their critical data to ensure business continuity in the event of cyber attacks, disasters, operational failures, or insider threats. But are passive backups enough in today’s environment of sophisticated cyber threats? Despite having backups and various security tools to monitor infrastructure, organizations remain vulnerable to attackers who are still managing to penetrate defenses.

The major news in technology policy circles is this month’s release of the long-anticipated Executive Order (E.O.) on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence. While E.O.s govern policy areas within the direct control of the U.S. government’s Executive Branch, they are important broadly because they inform industry best practices and can even potentially inform subsequent laws and regulations in the U.S. and abroad.

Microsoft Ignite 2023 was an eventful one, with many announcements across Microsoft’s AI Copilot capabilities. The biggest announcement, in our opinion, is that of Microsoft Copilot Studio, a low-code tool that allows professional and citizen developers to build standalone AI Copilots, as well as customize Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365.

As the times change and the threats evolve, financial institutions face relentless cyber threats from an ever-expanding number and variety of attack vectors. While individual resilience is important, the heavily interconnected nature of today’s financial services industry demands a unified approach to defense where all participants actively engage in Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) sharing for the greater good.

Since 2005, the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) has been used to assess and communicate the severity of vulnerabilities in software. If you’re involved in cybersecurity, even if you’re not directly involved in managing vulnerabilities, you’ve probably come across CVSS designations like ‘critical’ or ‘high’ when referring to vulnerabilities in the industry.

Researchers discover a new Russian hacking group, Rhysida ransomware threatens multiple sectors, and a new campaign targets public Docker Engine APIs.

It might be hard to remember, but around twenty years ago, Amazon was only known for one thing: selling books. But it’s grown up in the last two decades, encompassing multiple business verticals, and selling more than just books (especially convenient when you need garbage bags, a spatula, and holiday decorations all at the same time).

When you collect and store information in a logical manner, you have a database. In modern uses of the word, a database often refers to the database management system (DBMS), which is a computer program that manages digital data. You use a database management system to interact with your stored data, so it's critical to implement security features that protect the DBMS and any data involved.
