PCI version 4.0 was released in March 2022, and all organizations that must be compliant with the regulation have a deadline of March 31, 2024 to do so. So, what does the new version say about pen testing? According to Requirement 11 of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), pen testing is required for organizations and entities that store, process, and/or transmit cardholder data.

I’m Peter Wrenn, my friends call me Pete! I have the pleasure of being the moderator of the Tines Technical Advisory Board (TAB) which is held quarterly. In it, some of Tines’s power users engage in conversations around product innovations, industry trends, and ways we can push the Tines vision forward — automation for the whole team. Well, that’s the benefit to our customers and Tines.

Welcome to the second DDoS threat report of 2023. DDoS attacks, or distributed denial-of-service attacks, are a type of cyber attack that aims to disrupt websites (and other types of Internet properties) to make them unavailable for legitimate users by overwhelming them with more traffic than they can handle — similar to a driver stuck in a traffic jam on the way to the grocery store.

We recently published a blog post detailing how threat actors could leverage AI tools such as ChatGPT to assist in attacks targeting operational technology (OT) and unmanaged devices. In this blog post, we highlight why healthcare organizations should be particularly worried about this.

In the digital age, an organization’s cybersecurity posture is as strong as its intelligence. Open-source intelligence (OSINT) has emerged as a vital tool for businesses, non-profit organizations, and governments alike to fend off cyber threats. This guide offers a deep dive into the realm of OSINT, detailing its importance, applications, challenges, and how SecurityScorecard’s cybersecurity assessment platform empowers organizations to utilize it effectively.

SIEM (security information and event management) migration is rarely easy. However, when budget constraints, performance issues, or new requirements to further reduce organizational risk lead you down that path, it’s often a good idea to investigate ways to simplify the process. Elastic® and Cribl® have partnered to provide our customers with tools that simplify the process and provide ongoing value to your security operation.

The rise of remote work and the move to the cloud, as well as the rising rate and increased complexity of cyber attacks, have fundamentally changed the security landscape. Set-it-and-forget it tools are no longer enough. To truly protect yourself from modern cyber threats you need 24×7 monitoring, detection and response. However, even that doesn’t look the same anymore.

The aviation industry relies on a complex web of players and digital systems to fly passengers safely around the world. Billions of data points flow across this vast interconnected ecosystem – from cloud-based ticketing apps and customer experience portals, to third-party vendors and technology systems, to airport ground operations and in-flight aircraft.

As cyberattacks and the overall threat landscape grow more complex, managed service providers (MSPs) need to evolve. As an MSP, you must be capable of protecting customers from attacks targeting networks, devices, and users. Finding ways to protect your customers’ expanding threat surface is one thing, but doing so without compromising on operational efficiency or profitability is another. At times this can feel like an insurmountable task.
