Imagine a world where a single line of code, tucked away in a common library or framework, could bring your entire digital world to a screeching halt—welcome to the ever-evolving landscape of software supply chain security. Like any supply chain, the security of your software is only as strong as the weakest link in the system that produces and delivers working code.
About ten years ago, a new generation of banks entirely transitioned to digital operations. Neobanks, which are banks that only do business online and have no physical locations, cater to specific consumers’ demands by providing more convenience and reduced transaction costs. However, for these newer, online-first institutions, digital banking fraud can be particularly difficult.

A radius server uses a network protocol for remote user authentication and authorization. It is a client/server protocol that allows a remote user to access a network using a shared secret (usually a password). RADIUS servers are typically located on the perimeter of a network and use port 1812 (UDP) or 1645/1813 (TCP).
It’s Valentine’s Day and love is in the air. Flowers, candy, cards and dinner are some of the classic ways we show our love on this day. But as an increasing number of people look for love online, it’s a good time for a reminder that more people lose more money in online romance scams than in any other fraud category. According to the FBI, over the past five years $1.3 billion in losses have been reported, with annual losses skyrocketing since the pandemic.
In this episode of Future of Security Operations, Thomas speaks with Jacob DePriest, VP & Deputy Chief Security Officer at GitHub, a company with a mission "to help every developer - regardless of experience level - learn, code, and ship software effectively."

Securing modern-day production systems is complex and requires a variety of measures—from secure coding practices and security testing to network protection and vulnerability scanning. Scaling these solutions to keep pace with the speed of development teams can be difficult, resulting in sprawling workflows and disparate sets of tooling.
We are in early 2023, and we have over 2700 new vulnerabilities registered in CVE. It is still a challenge for developers to endure the fatigue of continually vulnerability prioritization and mitigating new threats. Our findings in the Sysdig 2023 Cloud-Native Security and Container Usage Report provide signs of hope for overburdened developers, as the data showed opportunities to focus remediation efforts on vulnerable packages loaded at runtime.
8220 Gang has been dubbed as a group of low-level script kiddies with an equally disappointing name based on their original use of port 8220 for Command and Control (C2) network communications dating back to 2017. Since an initial Talos report in late 2018, the group has continued to use, learn, and benefit from the efforts of their counterparts in the cryptojacking world.
