Transitioning from legacy vulnerability management tools to modern solutions like Tanium offers improved endpoint visibility, cost savings, streamlined operations, real-time data, and automated remediation, enhancing overall cybersecurity posture.

Encryption is a fundamental procedure in cybersecurity that transforms data into a coded format, making it inaccessible to unauthorized users. It has evolved significantly from simple ciphers in ancient times to complex algorithms like AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman), which are used today. Encryption ensures data confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity, which is crucial in protecting sensitive information across various domains.

Managing dependencies isn’t always easy, but it’s critical for protecting your code. In this guide, we’ll explore what dependencies are and how they can be checked for known vulnerabilities, compatibility, licensing requirements, and more. We’ll then learn that dependency checks should be part of a dependency management strategy to keep applications up to date and reduce security risks and technical debt.

Of course, everyone wants to dominate the SERPs. It’s a no-brainer! Want to know one of my favorite ways to achieve better rankings? Yup, web scraping! Web scraping is particularly useful for SEO; not only is it very cheap, but it allows you to access hyper-specific data that sometimes is not even visible through SEMRush’s or Ahrefs’ databases. Keep in mind anyone can disallow these two bots (and any bot actually) via their robots.txt.

Top tips is a weekly column where we highlight what’s trending in the tech world today and list out ways to explore these trends. This week, we’re showing you how to spot a fraud call and avoid getting scammed. Microsoft, AT&T, the FBI, and the IRS—what do these four entities have in common? Most likely, you or someone you know has received a call from somebody impersonating these entities.

For both white-hat and black-hat operators, the infamous “RockYou” lists have been a staple of the cyber-security landscape for well over a decade. They are lists of passwords, compiled and repeatedly expanded upon with data leaked over the years to form, in its most recent iteration, a list of approximately 10 billion plain-text passwords.
