In today’s business landscape, managing risk has become an increasingly critical concern. The “usual” risks (such as data breaches) paired with the completely unforeseen ones (like the collapse of SVB) have made companies more cautious with their next steps. With tighter budgets and limited resources, it can be quite challenging for CISOs and CTOs to effectively manage risk while ensuring business continuity.

New security vulnerabilities are emerging every day. The number of new disclosed cyber vulnerabilities jumped 25 percent in 2022, and the number of known exploited vulnerabilities—ones observed to be exploited by malicious actors in the wild—nearly doubled from 2021 to 2022. Remediating vulnerabilities rapidly and effectively reduces the likelihood of your organization becoming the victim of a cyber attack. Consider.

A major security incident in the crypto field occurred between March 17-18th. Due to a vulnerability that was not caught before the event, unknown crypto hackers were able to drain 1.6 million USD (around 59 BTC) from Bitcoin ATMs owned by General Bytes - the world’s largest Bitcoin, Blockchain, and Cryptocurrency ATM manufacturer.

Vulnerabilities are on the rise, and it's not just the number that's growing; the severity of these vulnerabilities is also increasing. Cybercriminals are taking advantage of these vulnerabilities to launch sophisticated attacks, leading to data breaches, ransomware, and other devastating cyber incidents.

Enterprises these days are facing a triple threat: stiffer government policies, volatile cyberspace and an extra-competitive economy. And without a well-planned strategy, it will be hard to survive all these and hit high-performance goals. Hence the need for an effective GRC strategy. Since its invention in 2003, GRC as a strategy for achieving organizational goals amidst uncertainty and with integrity, has stayed true to its primary purpose. Despite the increasing turbulence in the economy.

Imagine you've alerted your IT team to a critical infrastructure error plaguing your network. You ask them to drop their current work and focus on immediate remediation of this detected vulnerability. After further investigation, however, it is found to be a false positive. Unfortunately, these incidents are commonplace – and they cost your organization valuable time and manpower. More worrying, they distract from legitimate security issues.

In January 2023, PrivateLoader, a malware loader from a pay-per-install malware distribution service called “ruzki”, started to distribute Tofsee (a.k.a. Gheg), a modular spambot. Spambots are typically utilized by cybercriminals to spread malware and phishing emails, and this particular one has been in operation since at least 2008.
