Based in Central New York, Systems East, Inc., is a finance, billing, and payment solution for commercial software products. Their software options differ from other finance payment options by their cross-system elements. The Systems East software provides one tool to manage multiple accounts and tasks. Systems East’s local success may be short-lived, however, because they’ve suffered a data breach—a big one.

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.

eXtended Detection and Response (XDR) technology has transformed the cybersecurity paradigm by enhancing visibility and threat detection, providing unprecedented response capabilities. It is a tool capable of monitoring the different security layers of a company, generating a single pane that unifies the detections produced in these layers.

Known as RegEx (or gibberish for the uninitiated), Regular Expressions is a compact language that allows security analysts to define a pattern in text. When working with ASCII data and trying to find something buried in a log, regex is invaluable. But writing regular expressions can be hard. There are lots of resources to assist you: “But stop,” you say, “Splunk uses fields! Why should I spend time learning Regular Expressions?”

Digital forensics is a critical field in the investigation of cybercrimes, data breaches, and other digital incidents. As our reliance on computers continues to grow, the need for skilled digital forensics professionals is more crucial than ever. In this guide, we will explore the basics of performing digital forensics on a Windows computer, including key steps, tools, and techniques.

The Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) model, and its readily available scheme, remains to be the preferred method for emerging threat actors to carry out complex and lucrative cyberattacks. Information theft is a significant focus within the realm of MaaS, with a specialization in the acquisition and exfiltration of sensitive information from compromised devices, including login credentials, credit card details, and other valuable information.

NIST SP 800-171 details requirements that all Department of Defense (DoD) contractors have been required to follow for years. The guidelines were updated in 2020, and Revision 3 was published in May 2023. Netwrix is ready to help organizations achieve, maintain and prove NIST 800-171 compliance. Below, we summarize its key requirements and share recommendations for getting started with the regulation.

If it were a country, cybercrime would be the world’s third-largest economy, surpassing the wealth of entire nations at $8 Trillion.

The threat landscape has evolved rapidly in recent years due to major changes in the way organizations operate and adopt new technologies. Cloud services such as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) have seen massive growth over the last decade. With accelerated digital transformation, increased remote working and cloud adoption, the attack surface has increased for most organizations.

Snyk is excited to announce general availability of Snyk Apps, a framework for building and distributing custom security solutions to better inform security decisions and boost developer productivity. As Snyk Apps reaches this milestone, Snyk’s Technology Alliance Partnership Program (TAPP) has more than 70 members today.
