Securing HTTP requests is crucial when developing Go applications to prevent vulnerabilities like Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). SSRF occurs when an attacker manipulates a server to make unintended requests, potentially accessing internal services or sensitive data. We will explore how to secure HTTP requests by employing URL parsing and validation techniques, and provide example code to fortify the http.Get HTTP GET request handler.

As we enter 2025, the cybersecurity statistics from 2024 and previous years reveal a critical landscape of evolving threats, from a surge in vulnerabilities to increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks. This blog delves into the latest cybersecurity data, exploring trends like zero-day exploits, and unpatched vulnerabilities, to help you craft a proactive strategy for 2025 cybersecurity challenges.

Today, Cato Networks introduced Cato IoT/OT Security, the industry’s first SASE-native IoT/OT security solution. Cato IoT/OT Security extends SASE-based protection into IoT/OT environments, improving visibility and security while reducing complexity. Cato IoT/OT Security is a native feature in the Cato SASE Cloud Platform. It allows enterprises to instantly activate the new solution with a click of a button. No additional hardware or software needs to be installed or configured.

As cyber threats get trickier—with ransomware attacks happening every 11 seconds, and each attack costing between $350,000 and $1.4 million on average—businesses want to beef up their defenses without spending too much. More companies are using Extended Detection and Response (XDR) to simplify their security work and cut costs. XDR provides an answer that can help businesses do more with less tackling common problems like too many tools complex security setups, and high running costs.

In today’s data-driven world, collecting information is just the beginning. The real value lies in transforming raw data into actionable insights that drive decisions. For enterprise security, this means making data not only accessible but also organized, relevant, and easy to analyze.

Over the past decade, Detection and Response (DR) solutions have advanced substantially to address the constantly evolving sophistication of cyberattacks. Malicious actors have perfected techniques to evade traditional defenses, making detection and response solutions key requisites in a robust cybersecurity strategy.

3AM (also known as ThreeAM) is a ransomware group that first emerged in late 2023. Like other ransomware threats, 3AM exfiltrates victims' data (threatening to release it publicly unless a ransom is paid) and encrypts the copies left on targeted organisations' computer systems.
