We just released a new Snyk Partner Speak Video to showcase Snyk and Slack’s joint integration that enables you to view and use Snyk data on Slack channels. The new Snyk App for Slack provides notifications within the channels your teams rely on most to address security issues in your code, open source dependencies, containers, and cloud infrastructure.

If you are searching for ways to actualise benefits from cybersecurity AI tools or want to find out what AI tools will really make a difference in your SOC, you’re not alone. A World Economic Forum survey last year showed that almost half of all security leaders thought AI and machine learning would have the greatest influence on stopping cyber attacks and malware in the next two years. And that was before ChatGPT started an AI frenzy.

Network segmentation or segregation is a network architecture practice used by network security personnel to divide an organization’s computer network into smaller subnets. Each subnet or network segment forms its own smaller network. By segmenting an organization’s network, personnel can better control the traffic flow between subnets, improve security policies, and make it more challenging for unauthorized users to access sensitive data and critical parts of the network.

Every website needs to be set up with a cloud service provider, but what about your other CSP: Content Security Policy? The Content Security Policy (CSP) is a standard provided in an HTTP response header that helps prevent cross-site scripting attacks (XSS), clickjacking, packet sniffing, and malicious content injection on the client side of your web page. Configuring the header will enable a CSP with the directives you supply to control how a user agent loads resources on your site.

An exploit kit is a toolkit that cybercriminals use to attack the security vulnerabilities of a system or device to distribute malware. An exploit is a bit of code that takes advantage of security vulnerabilities found within software and hardware. Cybercriminals collect these bits of code and compile them into a kit that can target multiple security vulnerabilities at once, and secretly install malware on devices.

In late August, Microsoft published its analysis of espionage activity tied to a new threat actor group called Flax Typhoon, which is believed to operate on behalf of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The group mainly targets Taiwanese critical infrastructure, including: government, education, manufacturing, and information technology sectors.

In an age where cybersecurity is paramount, organizations must be vigilant in protecting their digital assets and sensitive information. Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions are crucial in this endeavor, as they provide comprehensive visibility into an organization’s cybersecurity posture. While there are many commercial SIEM tools on the market, the pursuit of truly free and open-source SIEM solutions is gaining traction.

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on building a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) using free and open-source technologies. In the digital age, protecting your organization’s information assets has never been more important. Cyber threats are constantly evolving, and organizations of all sizes and industries are vulnerable to attacks.

As one of the oldest attack methods, malware is both well-known to security professionals and well-loved by malicious actors. According to the Independent IT-Security Institute, the total amount of malware has exponentially increased since 2008.

Organizations are increasingly relying on virtualization. As critical infrastructure and business systems continue to be virtualized, threat actors have responded in kind by deploying ransomware impacting hypervisor software.
