A recent study shows that software attacks cause Millions of Christmas trees to go dark each year (Claus, 2021). Since many people believe that trees cannot be hacked, they tend to find themselves in a false sense of security that too often leaves them exposed. In this article, I want to show you why fuzzing is the right method to protect your Christmas tree against malicious software attacks while turning it into a video game console.
As we walk towards the end of 2022, full-scale predictions are made about the trends for cybersecurity in the upcoming year: how will cybersecurity affect us, what major cyber threats will dominate the landscape, and, where shall we allocate cybersecurity budgets? Above all, what can we do to secure our businesses and protect our tangible and intangible assets from cybercriminals’ activities?
Network security is a significant topic that all organizations should consider as a major concern. Regardless of the industry, business, or scope of their operations, all enterprises need to have good network security practices in place to protect against cyberattacks. There are a plethora of different security solutions for different needs, and organizations have to figure out what will work best for them and use the resources that they require.
Live conferences are finally back, and the 11th annual AWS re:Invent did not disappoint. After a virtual 2020 and an in-person reduced-sized edition in 2021, there were more than 52,000 (yes — 52,000!) smiling faces milling about this year’s conference in Las Vegas. As per usual, re:Invent was full of exciting product news and updates. Here are the major announcements that got our attention and some of the things Snyk was up to in Vegas.
In today's security conscious climate, countries and organizations worldwide waste little time debating whether a risky mobile application should be banned — regardless of its popularity. With security and data privacy at the center of public and private sector conversations, these issues typically come about when an app is found to have concerning data collection and handling practices.
SIEMs have come a long way since they first debuted in the security operations center (SOC) well over a decade and a half ago. Today, next-gen SIEMs are far more advanced than early systems, which merely gathered and logged data from different sources. Now, SIEM software can deliver comprehensive insight into network security and data protection by looking for anomalous activity that could indicate compliance, performance and security issues.
With cyberattacks growing in scale and complexity, it has never been more difficult to figure out where to invest your time and defensive resources. This remains the core challenge of optimizing an effective security organization. A good prioritization approach should be data-driven, and informed by real attacker activity.
