Every organization has tons of sensitive information stored in the cloud. The unanticipated surge in remote work resulted in an increase in the amount of information stored in the cloud. According to TechJury, 67% of enterprise infrastructure is cloud-based. However, with organizations allowing employees to use both business and personal devices at work, the attack surface has expanded, increasing opportunities for threat actors to target vulnerable devices.

For businesses who are looking to enhance profits and boost their global footprint, mobile app development and app security have become a top priority. With the smartphone industry still flourishing, it's evident that this trend won't be going away anytime soon, especially as market competition is increasing and new interactive technology becomes more prevalent. Mobile apps are expected to earn over $935 billion in revenue by 2023, according to Statista.

What do cybercriminals love? (Mostly themselves, but that is beside the point.) They love organizations that have unmitigated risks in their web applications and application program interfaces (APIs). With the entire world connected via the internet, the easiest and quickest way for threat actors to infiltrate your systems or steal customer data is through web applications.

Comparing and contrasting the effectiveness of Vulnerability Assessment (VA), Vulnerability Management (VM), Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM), and Managed Risk®. Performing a vulnerability assessment (VA), implementing a vulnerability management (VM) program, and upgrading your proactive security program with a risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM) approach may help your organization effectively deal with cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

Fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) is no longer just another fancy blockchain-related term used to influence the public’s and investors’ opinions. This concept thrives in many fields, turning our attention to the problems of data, system, and operational security. In this article, we discuss the FUD meaning in cybersecurity and how this concept works.

AvosLocker is a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) gang that first appeared in mid-2021. It has since become notorious for its attacks targeting critical infrastructure in the United States, including the sectors of financial services, critical manufacturing, and government facilities. In March 2022, the FBI and US Treasury Department issued a warning about the attacks.

As developers, we need maximum visibility of what’s actually running in our cloud environments, in order to keep them secure. Infrastructure as code (IaC) helps developers automate their cloud infrastructures, so what’s deployed to the cloud is under control and can easily be audited. But achieving and maintaining 100% IaC coverage of your infrastructure has many challenges.

Our modern digital world has proven that global tensions between countries are not contained to the battlefield. As international cyberattacks and protestware proliferate, the Biden-Harris administration (White House) instructed US institutions, large and small, to be more vigilant about malicious cyber activity.

As you have probably heard, 3G is phasing out. On February 22, AT&T shut down its 3G network. T-Mobile Sprint will retire its 3G network next week on March 31, 2022. Verizon, the last of the pack, will retire 3G by the end of 2022. What does this mean for your business and your security? The obvious answer is that older phones should be replaced as soon as possible, but the 3G shutdown’s impact will reach beyond phones, and that reach may affect your organization’s security.

Do you feel like every other cybersecurity news story mentioned ransomware in 2021? Does it feel like you can’t turn on a cybersecurity podcast and not hear the “R” word? We feel the same way, and as a cybersecurity vendor, we felt that we should also contribute to the noise. :-) But we did want to try and do something different.
