Why Cybersecurity is the Core of Corporate Survival

Is your business ready for a digital ambush? It's a loaded question, sure. But not a hypothetical one. In today's landscape, it's practically rhetorical. One phishing scam, one rogue USB stick, one "I'll-just-connect-to-this-coffee-shop-Wi-Fi-for-a-minute" moment and everything can unravel. You'd think big companies would be immune with all their resources, right? Tell that to MGM Resorts, which hemorrhaged over $100 million in 2023 due to a single compromised login. A phone call. That's all it took.

APC Battery Recycling: A Complete Guide to Responsible UPS Battery Disposal

APC battery recycling is the most responsible and environmentally sound way to manage used or expired UPS batteries from APC systems. As uninterruptible power supplies become essential in homes, offices, and data centers, APC battery recycling has moved from being a niche concern to a critical sustainability practice. Proper APC battery recycling protects the environment, ensures regulatory compliance, and helps businesses and individuals avoid unnecessary risks associated with improper battery disposal.

Top tips: What happens to your data after you click "Accept"

Top tips is a weekly column where we highlight what’s trending in the tech world and share ways to stay ahead. This week, we’re talking about a moment that’s become second nature to most of us. You open a website or install a new app. A banner appears. It’s long, filled with links, and clearly not meant to be read in a hurry. Your eyes jump straight to the familiar buttons. Accept all. One click, and you’re in. It feels harmless.

Advanced Web Shell Detection and Prevention: A Deep Dive into CrowdStrike's Linux Sensor Capabilities

Web shells remain one of the most potent weapons in an adversary’s arsenal, particularly when targeting Linux servers and containers. These malicious scripts serve as powerful remote access tools with capabilities such as process execution, filesystem access, and tunneling of network connections.

Redefining Data Security: From Insight to Action

Most organizations don't lack data security tools, they lack cohesion. Teams often layer DSPM solutions for discovery and classification on top of DLP tools for enforcement. On paper, this looks comprehensive. In practice, it creates friction: This is the platform problem: technology stitched together, not designed together. Solving it requires more than integrations, it requires a purpose-built platform that combines visibility, control, and action across all states of data.

Attackers exploited OpenClaw's popularity #cybersecurity #ai #podcast

In this week's Intel Chat, Chris Luft and Matt Bromiley discuss how a malicious VS Code extension impersonated OpenClaw (formerly ClawdBot) to distribute remote access malware to developers. Matt breaks down a critical pattern: whenever there's a stampede toward new technology, threat actors will find a way to inject a malicious version of it. The episode also covers PeckBirdie (a JScript-based C2 framework), Shiny Hunters' massive phishing campaign, and a Russian cyberattack on Poland's power grid.

Building continuous compliance with Aikido and Comp AI

Compliance evidence only works if it reflects the current state of the system. At Aikido, we’ve always treated compliance as a byproduct of good security, not a separate exercise teams need to prepare for. That’s why Aikido integrates with multiple compliance platforms. The goal is simple: let teams use the security data generated in Aikido wherever they run their compliance programs, without changing how they work or maintaining parallel processes.

Attackers Can Use LLMs to Generate Phishing Pages in Real Time

Researchers at Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 warn of a proof-of-concept (PoC) attack technique in which threat actors could use AI tools to generate malicious JavaScript in real time on seemingly innocuous webpages. “Once loaded in the victim's browser, the initial webpage makes requests for client-side JavaScript to popular and trusted LLM clients (e.g., DeepSeek and Google Gemini, though the PoC could be effective across a number of models),” the researchers write.

Internet Exposure and Vulnerability Risk: Why Reachability Changes Everything

In this conversation, Ryan Cribelar, R&D Engineer at Nucleus Security, breaks down why internet exposure is one of the most important layers of context in vulnerability and exposure management. Security teams are flooded with vulnerability data, but not every finding carries the same level of risk. As Ryan explains, whether a vulnerability is reachable from the internet can dramatically change how urgent it really is. Internet exposure shortens the path from discovery to exploitation and often determines whether a vulnerability is theoretical or immediately actionable.
