To stay ahead of malicious attacks, developers and security teams must have a way to identify, prioritize, fix, and monitor vulnerabilities, a process known as vulnerability remediation. When it comes to detection, organizations can use a variety of application security testing (AST) tools to identify vulnerabilities in software applications and other systems.
Full-fledged security is what every one needs! Due to the significant rise in cyber and malware attacks on the different apps, mobile app security is considered a critical component of app development. Therefore, having a highly secured mobile app ensures a hassle-free business operation! Whether your device is for professional or personal use, you need to protect a heap of data that you've stored.
A few weeks ago, we reported how the new wave of phishing that uses new variants of COVID-19 as bait had hit the education sector hard. Many students at universities and colleges across the United States were victims of phishing attacks via emails pretending to be from administrators at their institutions.
CVE-2022-26809 was patched in Microsoft’s previous Patch Tuesday (April 12) and it’s a doozy: remote code execution on affected versions of DCE/RPC hosts. The vulnerability attracted a lot of attention in the security community, both because of its severity but also because it appears to be really hard to trigger.
Why is it that the most impressive technologies are often the ones that go unnoticed? Sometimes what makes technology impressive is precisely that it goes unnoticed, and that is the case with the Rubrik Data Observability engine. As ransomware continues to grow as a real, costly, and persistent threat to conducting business, organizations are looking for smarter and faster ways to keep data safe and recover easily in the face of cyber attacks.
From technology to healthcare to governments, ransomware is disrupting business like never before. Security teams are reevaluating their overall security posture and taking additional measures to secure their data. During this process, they are discovering that they don’t know if their organization’s data is fully secure and whether it will be available when they need it.
Sad fact: cyberattacks continue to grow in volume and sophistication. Plus, ransomware doesn't hit like a bomb–it’s often more like a Trojan Horse, where many organizations don't realize they are under attack until it's too late. Despite investments in infrastructure security tools deployed at the endpoint, perimeter, and network, bad actors are still getting through to hold data for ransom.
A common mistake made in responding to ransomware is rushing through a recovery only to realize that the recovery point was a compromised copy of the system, and in turn, re-introduces the threat back into the environment. To make matters worse, if a replicated copy were to be recovered at a tertiary site, it might introduce malware into networks that it previously didn’t have access to and further impact business operations.
