Many people don’t realize that scams are complicated events orchestrated by scammers, which often include myriad persuasive techniques and take advantage of our individual characteristics and circumstances. While each scam varies in complexity, they typically progress through three broad stages, each influenced by factors that either heighten or diminish our vulnerability to becoming victims.

Modern organizations have sprawling attacks surfaces of known and unknown assets that grow each day. This means understanding and managing your external attack surface is more crucial than ever. But with the vast number of digital assets that organizations need to monitor, accurately identifying every component of your attack surface can seem overwhelming – which is why many turn to External Attack Surface Management (EASM).

Welcome to the second part of our two-part special on Gartner’s “4 Ways Generative AI Will Impact CISOs and Their Teams” report! If you’ve missed the first part on model composition, you can read it here. Today, we will explore why security specialism matters in an AI security tool, particularly where AI quality is concerned.

Non-human identities (NHIs) dominate the era of cloud services and SaaS applications. They are the identities that authenticate between different servers, APIs and third party integrations to provide programmatic access to data and services. Non-human identities utilize different protocols, such as OAuth, REST and SSH.

Downgrade attacks—also known as version-rollback attacks—are a type of attack designed to revert an immune, fully up-to-date software back to an older version. They allow malicious actors to expose and exploit previously fixed/patched vulnerabilities to compromise systems and gain unauthorized access.

Organizations face a myriad of cybersecurity threats that can compromise sensitive data and disrupt operations. A cornerstone of defending against these threats is an effective vulnerability management program. This program’s first, and arguably most critical, step is strong asset and inventory management. A thorough and accurate asset inventory is essential for identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities.

Snyk’s goal has always been to empower developers to build fast but safely. This is why we created the developer security category and why we were amongst the first advocates of “shifting left.” Now, AI has changed the equation. According to Gartner, over 80% of enterprises will have used generative AI APIs or models, or deployed their own AI model, by 2026.
