Elastic Security evolves into the first and only AI-driven security analytics solution

In our previous installation, we discussed the history of security information and event management (SIEM) solutions — from collection to organizational detections and finally to response and orchestration. Now, we are firmly in the SIEM 3.0 revolution and focused on applying generative AI to every applicable process in the security operations center with tremendous success.

Breaking the Cloud to Build the Cloud

There’s no such thing as a perfectly secure cloud environment. Vulnerabilities, holes left open by misconfigurations, over-permissive roles, and more create a target-rich environment for attackers. Breaking the cloud for good is the job of these expert hackers. View this panel session to learn about offensive security techniques and tactics for breaking the cloud to build the cloud better.

5 Best Open Source Application Security Security Tools in 2024

As cybersecurity becomes increasingly important in software development, the “shift left” security approach is widely recognized as a best practice for ensuring superior application security. Numerous traditional security firms are introducing shift-left products and capabilities, and the concept is gaining traction. However, some open source application security tools are more developer-friendly than others.

Beyond One-Size-Fits-All: Why You Need Security Tailor-Made for Mobile

It's an undeniable truth that significant differences exist across many facets of life. Sports figures like LeBron James and Michael Jordan possess exceptional talent, which has propelled them to accomplish feats that defy human capability. Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk's extraordinary business achievements make them the epitome of success and a source of inspiration for many. These examples underscore a crucial point: Some things are just better than others.

AI-Assisted Phishing Attacks Are on the Rise

Threat actors are increasingly using generative AI tools to improve their phishing campaigns, according to a new report from Zscaler. “AI represents a paradigm shift in the realm of cybercrime, particularly for phishing scams,” the researchers write. “With the aid of generative AI, cybercriminals can rapidly construct highly convincing phishing campaigns that surpass previous benchmarks of complexity and effectiveness.

Salt Security Addresses Critical OAuth Vulnerabilities Enhancing API Security with OAuth Protection Package

OAuth is an important part of modern authorization frameworks, granting access to resources across different applications easily. However, vulnerabilities in OAuth implementations can create significant security risks. Following research released by Salt labs that uncovered critical vulnerabilities in the world's most popular authorization mechanism, Salt has released a multi-layered protection package to detect attempts to exploit OAuth and proactively fix the vulnerabilities.

AI-driven cyber attacks to be the norm within a year, say security leaders

New research from Netacea reveals 93% of security leaders expect to face daily AI-driven attacks by the end of this year. Ransomware and phishing attacks are expected to be enhanced by offensive AI, but bots remain an underestimated threat. All respondents are benefiting from AI in their security stack, but adoption of bot management is lagging behind.

Cloud Application Security - Top Threats and Best Practices

Cloud workloads continue to grow as new digital innovations arise monthly in the worlds of IoT applications, cloud services, and big data analytics. However, the cloud's dynamic and often complex nature can make cloud application security challenging. This gap in cloud security readiness is a growing concern for organizations worldwide, with CISOs feeling the pressure. 61% of CISOs feel unequipped to cope with a targeted attack, and 68% expect such an attack within the following year.
