New security vulnerabilities are emerging every day. The number of new disclosed cyber vulnerabilities jumped 25 percent in 2022, and the number of known exploited vulnerabilities—ones observed to be exploited by malicious actors in the wild—nearly doubled from 2021 to 2022. Remediating vulnerabilities rapidly and effectively reduces the likelihood of your organization becoming the victim of a cyber attack. Consider.

Unit tests are indispensable to check and prove that our code functions properly. But in unit testing, we only test the scenarios that we are aware of. However, there are scenarios unknown to us that lead to security vulnerabilities or performance problems. To address these scenarios, you can add fuzz tests in order to effectively find security, reliability, and even logic bugs in your code.

A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a security solution designed to protect web applications from various attacks, including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and others. There are two types of WAF: on-premise and cloud-based.

A supply chain attack that targets customers of the 3CX Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) desktop client has been discovered. Threat actors have created a digitally signed and malicious version of the software, which is being used to target both Windows and macOS users of the app. The threat actors are deploying second-stage payloads and are believed to be linked to a North Korean state-backed hacking group, , although this attribution has not been confirmed.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) defines insider threat as “the potential for an insider to use their authorized access or understanding of an organization to harm that organization.” The nature of insider threats is fairly wide-ranging. Most of us in the security field will naturally think of insider threats in cybersecurity terms, but CISA’s definition includes things like espionage, terrorism, and workplace violence.
