Black Friday is one of the most demanding seasons for the retail sector. Massive spikes in online traffic, aggressive promotions, and pressure to keep services available significantly increase the risk of an attack. Cybercriminals are aware of this and exploit the saturation to launch ransomware campaigns, phishing attempts, and supply chain attacks that aim to disrupt operations, steal sensitive data, and cause maximum impact.

“Tech giants pay hackers millions to hack them – on purpose.” What once sounded like a risky experiment has now become standard practice in cybersecurity. Bug bounty programs have moved from the fringes into the mainstream because traditional defenses alone can’t keep up with today’s scale and sophistication of attacks.

The automotive industry is undergoing a profound transformation. With vehicles now functioning as software-defined, connected platforms, manufacturers face unprecedented security challenges. From over-the-air (OTA) updates and telematics to ADAS, battery systems and mobility services, every vehicle today relies on digital identities and cryptographic trust. Historically, OEMs have relied heavily on Tier 1 suppliers to manage keys, certificates and firmware signing processes.

During the first half of 2025, APIs faced significantly higher number of attacks than traditional web applications. On average, attacks per API host were 72% higher than those targeting websites, and exploitation of API vulnerabilities surged 13× compared to a 27% increase for website vulnerabilities, according to the State of Application Security Global H1 2025.

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere nowadays. It helps teams to be more productive, but at the same time, it can threaten your critical project management data. The introduction of AI into Jira opened up new paths for attackers to exploit, new vulnerabilities coming up internally, and human errors. So, in this article, let’s speak about AI data loss in Jira and what measures to take to protect your sensitive data in Jira Cloud.

If you’ve browsed the FedRAMP marketplace in the interest of using a government-certified service, either as part of your own services or on behalf of an agency, you’ve likely seen the various -aaS designations. The “aaS” stands for “as a Service”, and it’s part of how modern internet services function. What are the different kinds of services, and how do they engage with FedRAMP? The differences can be important.

APIs are now the foundation of SaaS product development, powering authentication, user onboarding, billing, integrations, webhooks, analytics, and internal microservices. As this API footprint grows, the threat landscape has intensified. The Indusface State of Application Security H1 2025 Report recorded a 104% rise in API-targeted attacks, a 13X increase in API vulnerability exploits, and 388% more DDoS attacks on API hosts than on websites.

Two Indiana healthcare providers, Goshen Health System and Hancock Regional Hospital, recently reached settlements tied to the use of website tracking technologies, including Meta Pixel.
