In addition to the overt signs of cyber threats we've become conditioned to recognize, like ransomware emails and strange login requests, malicious actors are now utilizing another way to achieve their nefarious purposes — by using your everyday devices. These hidden dangers are known as botnets. Unbeknownst to most, our everyday devices, from toasters to smart fridges, can unwittingly be enlisted as footsoldiers in a digital army with the potential to bring down even corporate giants.

Cyberattacks continue to be a cause for concern for businesses. Although great strides have been made to combat this issue, the ability of threat actors to adapt, combined with other factors such as the rise in remote working or the increase in the number of devices with Internet access, means that cybercrime persists. According to a study by Cybersecurity Ventures, a cyberattack took place every 39 seconds in 2023, which translates into over 2,200 cases per day.

JavaScript is the most commonly-used programing language, according to the most recent StackOverflow developer survey. While JavaScript offers great flexibility and ease of use, it also introduces security risks that can be exploited by attackers. In this blog, we will explore vulnerabilities in JavaScript, best practices to secure your code, and tools to prevent attacks.

Data breaches are on the rise. Every day, we see news articles like these: "Major Data Breach Hits ABC Corporation: Millions of User Records Compromised"."GHI Retail's Customer Data Exposed: A Wake-Up Call for E-commerce Security"."LMN Health's Patient Information Compromised: Largest Data Breach in Healthcare History".

A new IDC white paper, “The Business Value of The CrowdStrike Falcon XDR Platform,” sponsored by CrowdStrike, highlights the substantial operational benefits, cost savings and ROI that organizations achieve when consolidating their cybersecurity point products with the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon XDR platform. Organizations switching to the CrowdStrike platform realized significant advantages.

It's been two decades since the introduction of virtual private networks (VPNs), and they are still the go-to solution for many organizations that need to connect remote users to company resources. But while VPN technology remained relatively static — grounded on the principle that your resources are primarily located on a corporate network — remote work requirements have changed dramatically.

Using environment variables to store secrets instead of writing them directly into your code is one of the quickest and easiest ways to add a layer of protection to your projects.

The position of CISO is not an enviable one. Modern CISOs face enormous challenges like managing the complexity of on-prem and cloud environments, being responsible for the actions of thousands of employees without having authority over them, being perceived as a drag on growth and other resources, and trying to keep up in a compliance and technology landscape that just keeps changing. Oh and budget? Limited and scrutinized.

Do you know what your employees are downloading? In a perfect world, all of the IT systems and software used by an organization would be explicitly approved by the IT department. In reality, your network is closer to the wild west.

The security of the software supply chain is rapidly becoming a paramount concern for organizations — and for good reason. With the increasing number of published Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), developers face the challenge of delivering software faster than ever before. However, in their quest for speed, many dev and security teams have resorted to fragmented security solutions, inadvertently leaving critical gaps in coverage and compromising their competitive advantage.
