Hello all and welcome to the first episode of a new blog series focused on how to prevent WordPress site hacks. In this first post of the series, I will provide videos and articles that will comprise a set of tutorials to show you the ins and outs of building a home lab that will give you the flexibility to test, hack, or learn just about anything in IT.
As companies compete with how fast new features and products can be released on the digital market, a byproduct of DevOps could be the neglect of sufficient and consistent information security throughout the pipeline – yes that means from start to the next improvement. Sure, automated security testing in production is a given, but what about during build and testing in the Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) Pipeline?
With data breaches regularly marking the headlines, it is no surprise that digital threats constitute an increasingly significant concern for the C-Suite and cyber security experts. What is surprising, however, is that these two groups don’t seem to share the same view of information security. They have different opinions when it comes to the digital threat landscape in general as well as their organization’s level of preparedness in particular.
These days the word ‘intelligence’ pops up in any conversation on security. Why is the industry cannot get enough of it? What is the difference between intelligence and information? What is intelligence-led security? Let’s take a look.

In the cybersecurity world, testing for the existence of exploitable vulnerabilities isn’t always an exact science. Checking for open ports (CIS Control 9 - Limitation and Control of Network Ports, Protocols and Services) sounds simple enough, but the reality is a long way off.
As of today, security is a hot topic for not just IT industry but almost everyone. From personal mail accounts to data encryption, everyone has something valuable to protect. When we ‘protect’ something, we build a physical and/or virtual system that hinders any unauthorized viewers and users.
A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. An article that prompts many questions regarding use of PII in a passive way, misses one obvious question: Why was Wi-Fi enabled on 5.9 million devices while in transit? When you next get a moment, just check what, and why you need Wi-Fi and other communications features enabled all the time.
We’re proud to announce a new USM Anywhere App for Box! We use the Box Events API to track and detect detailed activity on Box.
