While it’s difficult to imagine our business lives without USB devices, each USB connection can pose a serious risk to an organization’s security. Attackers can infect USB devices with malware that attacks your corporate system once a user connects an infected device. Such attacks can damage your infrastructure or machines and result in the theft or compromise of sensitive data.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and I want to take this time to reflect on something we don’t often talk openly about in the security community: mental health. Nearly half of CISOs turn over every two years. Almost 100% of CISOs report feeling stressed at work, with about two-thirds saying stress issues are compromising their ability to protect their organization, and 100% saying they felt they needed more resources to adequately cope with current IT and security challenges.

The primary benefit of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is that it keeps your information and identity private when using the internet to access sites or servers, download files and more. This is especially important when handling sensitive information on public networks, like checking your bank account at the airport or accessing work files remotely. There are a number of use cases, from personal device security to maintaining safe business networks, which we will cover in this article.

Data breaches are an ever-present risk for organizations of all sizes — and the larger the attack surface, the greater the risk. There is growing awareness of the need to manage the attack surface, and reducing the attack surface is an essential component. However, many companies lack full visibility into their real attack surface, making reduction challenging.

The Associated Press warned this week that AI experts have raised concerns about the potential impact of deepfake technology on the upcoming 2024 election. Deepfakes are highly convincing digital disinformation, easily taken for the real thing and forwarded to friends and family as misinformation. Researchers fear that these advanced AI-generated videos could be used to spread false information, sway public opinion, and disrupt democratic processes.

Certera is the modern and affordable certificate authority offering code signing and SSL certificates. It is sub CA is globally trusted CA named Sectigo. Digital certificates called EV (Extended Validation) code signing certificates are used to encrypt and sign code, scripts, and software programs. Users may have a high level of confidence thanks to these certificates that the code being signed is genuine, hasn’t been tampered with, and originates from a reliable source.

In this post, we’re going to learn how Foundry can be used to write a proof of concept (PoC) for uninitialized smart contract vulnerabilities. We will take a look at and exploit a simple uninitialized smart contract vulnerability we found in BadgerDAO. If you are familiar with this type of vulnerability, jump straight to the Foundry PoC section. You can also find the PoC code on this GitHub repository.

Identified as leaders in IoT (Internet of Things) Device Identity Lifecycle Management by ABI Research, and leaders in IoT IAM according to Quadrant, Device Authority and Entrust have worked together to integrate Device Authority’s KeyScaler® IoT IAM (Identity and Access Management) platform with PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) services from Entrust, extending the existing collaboration for Hardware Security Module (HSM) services, to provide device trust, data trust and automation at IoT sca

Insurance companies are among the businesses more reliant than ever on technology and information systems for daily processes. Insurance technology, or insurtech, improves the efficiency of the insurance industry but can also increase attack surfaces, making the data insurers collect more vulnerable to theft.
