OWASP Top 10 | A07: 2021 - Identification & Authentication Failures
Identification and authentication policies are very important in safeguarding digital assets, protecting privacy, ensuring regulatory compliance, fostering trust, and mitigating risks in today's interconnected and data-driven environments. But some organizations are lax in implementing these policies creating security risks for them and the data of the people stored there. Today we will learn about the various ways in which cybercriminals steal dat and how organizations can prevent it.
User Training vs. Security Controls: Who's to Blame for Phishing Attacks?
In this thought-provoking clip, the hosts debate whether security awareness training is enough to prevent users from falling for phishing scams or if stronger controls are necessary. Drawing on insights from a recent NCSC blog, they explore the ethical dilemma of assigning blame when users, despite training, click on malicious email attachments. Should the onus be on the end user, or is it a failure of security controls? Tune in to understand the complexities of balancing trust and control in cybersecurity.
How Do Cybercriminals Gather Personal Information About Their Targets?
Cybercriminals gather personal information about their targets by using social engineering techniques, looking at social media accounts and collecting data that gets leaked from public data breaches. The more personal information a cybercriminal can collect about their target, the easier it is for them to launch cyber attacks that their targets will easily fall for. Continue reading to learn more about how cybercriminals gather their target’s personal information and how you can keep your data safe.
Caught in the act: Ransomware attack sticks to our AI-created honeypot
Here is the story of how we caught a ransomware attack in our research honeypot. Ransomware attacks on enterprise organizations lead the news. See Change Healthcare and Ascension. Attackers spend their time on the victim’s network, exfiltrate gigabytes of sensitive data, then lock victim’s systems — and ask for millions of dollars in ransom payment. We also hear news about how AI is used maliciously.

Applying Zero Trust to Security Service Edge (SSE)
The current situation with legacy on-premises security defenses trying to support a hybrid work environment and zero trust principles is challenging for companies. Complications can include poor user experience, complexity of disjointed solutions, high cost of operations, and increased security risks with potential data exposure. Simple allow and deny controls lack an understanding of transactional risk to adapt policy controls and provide real-time coaching to users.
What is a Third-Party Risk Assessment in Cybersecurity?
A third-party risk assessment pulls risk vendor risk data to help cybersecurity teams understand how to best mitigate supplier risks. Though the field of Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) is evolving to prioritize compliance, security, and supply chain risk, third-party risk assessments could also be used to uncover an organization’s exposure to financial, operational, and reputational risks stemming from its third-party network.

2024 RSA Recap: Centering on Cyber Resilience
Cyber resilience is becoming increasingly complex to achieve with the changing nature of computing. Appropriate for this year’s conference theme, organizations are exploring “the art of the possible”, ushering in an era of dynamic computing as they explore new technologies. Simultaneously, as innovation expands and computing becomes more dynamic, more threats become possible – thus, the approach to securing business environments must also evolve.
