The future of eliminating secrets sprawl means getting a handle on the lifecycles and interdependencies of the non-human identities that rely on secrets. Learn how to implement these NHI security measures at scale.

On December 15, 2024, reports emerged that threat actors have begun attempting to exploit a recently disclosed critical vulnerability in Apache Struts (CVE-2024-53677) shortly after the publication of a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) exploit. Apache Struts is a widely used open-source web application framework for developing Java-based applications.

Cybersecurity researchers are warning about a new breed of investment scam that combines AI-powered video testimonials, social media malvertising, and phishing tactics to steal money and personal data. Known as Nomani — a play on "no money" — this scam grew by over 335% in H2 2024, with more than 100 new URLs detected daily between May and November, according to ESET's H2 2024 Threat Report.

LLMs are based on neural network architectures, with transformers being the dominant framework. Introduced in 2017, transformers use mechanisms called attention mechanisms to understand the relationships between words or tokens in text, making them highly effective at understanding and generating coherent language. Practical Example: GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) models like GPT-4 are structured with billions of parameters that determine how the model processes and generates language.

In the digital world of today, there are more and more cyber risks that can hurt their operations, customers' trust, and bottom line. Cyberattacks are changing quickly. Ransomware, hacking, and data breaches are just a few examples of how they hurt businesses financially and publicly. Recent studies show that hacking will cost the world an estimated $10.5 trillion every year by 2025. This shows how important it is to have strong security measures right away.
