How to evaluate cybersecurity and fintech platforms before trusting them with your data

When we think about cyberattacks, we often imagine a scene from a movie where someone in a dark room is typing 300 words per minute to bypass a firewall. The reality of cybersecurity is a lot more boring, and in a way, more dangerous. Most major data breaches today start with very mundane access paths. We're talking about basic credential theft, simple phishing emails, or weak account recovery flows that a teenager could figure out. Misconfigurations in cloud storage-where someone simply forgets to lock the digital door-routinely cause more damage than exotic, high-tech exploits.

What is Smishing in Cybersecurity and How to Prevent it?

RondoDox Botnet: From Zero to 174 Exploited Vulnerabilities

According to a 2024 report from IoT Analytics, there were 16.6 billion Internet of Things (IoT) connected devices at the end of 2023, and that number is expected to grow to 41.1 billion by 2030. This means an increased attack surface for malicious actors to take advantage of, especially given that the security posture of the vendors that provide these devices varies greatly.

How three SOCs cut alert investigation time and gained visibility

Tool proliferation is compounding. Alerts are multiplying faster than teams can triage them. Visibility gaps are hiding real threats.

Organizations across gaming, fintech, and retail are feeling the weight of traditional, on-premises SIEMs.

Introducing Persona's candidate verification solution: Stop AI-powered candidate fraud before it reaches your workforce

Hiring has never been easy. But in the last year, it’s taken on an entirely new level of complexity. Fake candidates have become one of the most urgent problems facing HR, talent, and InfoSec teams alike.

When fake candidates make it to interviews, the tactics escalate with deepfakes used to impersonate people and proxy stand-ins for technical assessments.

The CISO's Dilemma: How To Scale AI Securely

Your board wants AI. Your developers are building with it. Your budget committee is asking for an ROI timeline. But as CISO, you're the one who has to answer when the inevitable question comes up: "How do we know this is secure?" If you're like most security leaders, you're caught between two impossible positions. Say yes to AI initiatives without proper security controls, and you're responsible when something goes wrong.
