Technology is evolving at a startling pace, perhaps faster than ever before. Businesses are scrambling to reap the rewards of these technologies, especially AI. But do they recognize the cybersecurity risks associated with these changes? The World Economic Forum’s latest Global Risks Report suggests not.

A critical aspect of manufacturing, energy, and transportation is Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technologies (OT). The rapid pace of digital growth makes these systems susceptible to cyberattacks. OT and ICS system security is important, making penetration testing an essential activity. This tactic makes it possible to mitigate weaknesses so they are no longer vulnerabilities. It is an effective measure of asset protection.

The Tripwire Enterprise Critical Change Audit rules provide customers with the ability to monitor for critical events that could have a significant impact on a system. Monitoring for critical events can help administrators identify malicious and/or unexpected changes within their environment.

Abu Dhabi is boosting its healthcare system with the introduction of the Abu Dhabi Healthcare Information and Cyber Security Standard (ADHICS).

Cactus is a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) group that encrypts victim's data and demands a ransom for a decryption key. Hundreds of organisations have found themselves the victim of Cactus since it was first discovered in March 2023, with their stolen data published on the dark web as an "incentive" to give in to the extortionists' demands.

Over 80% of businesses use at least one Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application in their operations, per a report by SaaS Academy.

However, this convenience also comes with several security risks.

The Tripwire Enterprise Change Audit rules provide customers with the ability to monitor for change events that could have an impact on a system. Monitoring for change events can help administrators identify malicious and/or unexpected changes within their environment.

The evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) agents signals a profound transformation in how businesses operate.

Companies are being warned that malicious hackers are using a novel technique to break into businesses - by pretending to offer audits of the company's cybersecurity. With ransomware and other cybersecurity threats high in the mind of many business owners, it is all too easy to imagine how many companies might react positively to an invitation to have the security of their networks tested.

Many organizations have a vulnerability management (VM) problem without knowing it. Vulnerability management is a crucial component of any organization’s cybersecurity program and is required by most major compliance standards because of its sink-or-swim impact on network security. One of the biggest issues in VM is that organizations aren’t testing the entirety of their networks. Could yours be among them?
