As technology continues to advance, the potential for hacking and cyber-attacks on various devices and systems has become a major threat. This has extended to the automotive industry, with increasing numbers of car hacks being reported. With the rise in the production of electric vehicles (EVs), these attacks have escalated in frequency and severity.
The cloud has revolutionized the way we do business. It has made it possible for us to store and access data from anywhere in the world, and it has also made it possible for us to scale our businesses up or down as needed. However, the cloud also brings with it new challenges. One of the biggest challenges is just keeping track of all of the data that is stored in the cloud. This can make it difficult to identify and respond to security incidents.
Editor’s note: This is the final part of a five-part cloud security series that covers protecting an organization’s network perimeter, endpoints, application code, sensitive data, and service and user accounts from threats. So far in this series, we’ve looked at the importance of securing an organization’s network, its application components, the endpoints that support those components, and its application data.
Open source software has revolutionized the software development landscape, providing cost-effective solutions and promoting collaboration among developers worldwide. However, the legal terms associated with open source licenses can be complex, and improper management of these licenses may lead to significant legal risks.
Anti-money laundering (AML) compliance in the mobile money industry has become increasingly important in 2023. With the rise of mobile money transactions, regulatory bodies are ramping up efforts to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. In this infographic, we explore the technology involved in AML screening, the importance of AML compliance in the industry, and best practices for financial institutions.
Digital transformation isn’t only for the good guys. Adversaries are undergoing their own digital transformation to exploit modern IT infrastructures — a trend we’re seeing play out in real time as they increasingly adapt their knowledge and tradecraft to exploit cloud environments. According to the CrowdStrike 2023 Global Threat Report, observed cloud exploitation cases grew by 95% over the previous year.
Getting the benefits of AI threat detection tools is becoming less of an option for security operation centres (SOCs). Last year, the UK experienced more cyber attacks than any other country in Europe. According to IBM’s X-Force Threat Intelligence Index report, nearly half (43%) of all cyber attacks in Europe targeted UK-based organisations.
With the rise of remote work and shadow IT, more devices and apps (both sanctioned and unsanctioned) are connecting to your organization’s network. Today, there are approximately five million mobile apps currently in circulation: approximately three million for Android and two million for iOS. That’s great for productivity, but less than ideal when it comes to security.
What does secure by design vulnerability mean? Is this an oxymoron?
