The evolving threat landscape necessitates proactive approaches to identify, assess, and mitigate potential cyber security risks. Threat intelligence is one of the most potent weapons we have against digital hazards.

The attack surface is where you can understand what you have exposed and whether you should take action on it. Previously, users couldn’t see which assets were vulnerable from the Attack Surface view – it was only possible to view vulnerable assets from the Vulnerabilities page, which required more time. Viewing vulnerabilities on the Attack Surface page will help you better prioritize which assets you need to take action on.

Email-based social engineering attacks have risen by 464% this year compared to the first half of 2022, according to a report by Acronis.

Deception technology is a cybersecurity strategy that utilizes decoys to gather information about current threats and attack methodologies used by cybercriminals. The premise of this approach is to offer some sort of bait in your network, such as a fake database that looks like a legitimate one, that attackers will find too enticing to pass up.
