The demand for highly qualified staff with the right skill sets along with hands on experience is not new news in cybersecurity. However, the difficulty of gaining experience prior to meeting the objectives for interviews for entry level jobs can be a tough hill to climb. Ample resources available online, including the ability to set up in-home labs, which helps.
Many CISOs I speak with across Europe tell me their cybersecurity teams rely on two, primary open-source platforms within their security operations (SecOps). The first is Malware Information Sharing Platform (MISP), that allows the storing and sharing of indicators of compromise (IoCs) with other MISP users. The second is TheHive, designed for security incident response (IR).

SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an open standard that enables users to access numerous web applications or web services using the same login credentials through identity federation. SAML relies upon two parties - an identity provider (IDP) and a service provider (SP). The IDP provides authentication information about the user to the SP. The SP uses this information to provide authorization to the user.
This is the ninth entry in blog series on using Java Cryptography securely. We started off by looking at the basics of Java Cryptography Architecture, assembling one crypto primitive after other in posts on Cryptographically Secure Random Number Generator, symmetric & asymmetric encryption/decryption & hashes. In the meantime, we had to catchup with cryptographic update in latest versions of Java. Having looked at some of the most common symmetric cryptography based applications a.k.a.
To remain competitive in the digital age, organizations frequently introduce new hardware devices and software installations to their IT environments. The problem is that these assets might suffer from vulnerabilities that attackers could misuse, if unpatched, to change a device’s configuration or make unauthorized modifications to some of the organization’s important files.
It is hard to ignore the financial impact bot attacks can have, especially when such attacks are aimed directly at financial services organizations and markets.
Cybercriminals constantly target large organisations in the quest to exploit their networks, steal data and extort money. However, it’s well known that SMEs are also targeted with the same level of enthusiasm by cybercriminals.
