Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASBs) are essential tools for many enterprises, acting as intermediaries between users and cloud services to provide visibility, enforce security policies, and ensure compliance. While CASBs excel at managing traditional SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) applications, they fall short when it comes to detecting and managing the use of AI tools within an organization.

The effectiveness of external attack surface management (EASM) and third-party risk management (TPRM) capabilities hinges on the depth, breadth, and timeliness of the underlying data they are based on. For this reason, Bitsight makes a significant ongoing investment in: The introduction of Bitsight’s next-generation data engine enabled many improvements to our capabilities across all of these areas throughout 2024.

CPOs oversee an organization’s compliance with data privacy laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and sector-specific regulations like HIPAA. Key responsibilities include.

According to a Gartner report, 60% of organizations will rely on third-party vendors for more than half of their critical business operations by 2025. However, Gartner also warns that third-party risk events – such as data breaches or compliance violations – will increase by 30% in the same timeframe. As a technology leader, these figures resonate deeply with the challenges I see organizations facing daily.

The threat landscape refers to the evolving environment of cyber threats, attack methods, and attack vectors targeting organizations, governments, and individuals. Shaped by threat actors like hackers, nation-states, and criminal groups, it has grown increasingly complex with the rise of cloud computing, IoT devices, and interconnected supply chains. These changes have expanded attack surfaces, offering adversaries more opportunities to exploit vulnerabilities.

Understanding the cost of deploying a Hugging Face model involves considering compute requirements, inference time, and hardware pricing. Let’s break it down.

Cyber security threats are increasingly complex, and while external attacks like phishing and malware often take centre stage, insider threats are emerging as a significant concern. Insider threats are risks originating from within an organisation, which pose unique challenges. They exploit an insider’s knowledge of systems, processes, and vulnerabilities, making detection and prevention particularly challenging.

In an era where password breaches have become all too common, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) has emerged as a critical layer of security. MFA provides an authentication method that requires users to present multiple forms of identification before gaining access to systems, which is considered a more robust defence against cyber attacks. However, as cyber criminals evolve tactics, MFA is no longer impervious to threats, particularly phishing attacks that exploit vulnerabilities.

On January 9, the SecurityScorecard STRIKE team uncovered Operation 99, a cyberattack by the Lazarus Group, North Korea’s state-sponsored hacking unit. This campaign targets software developers looking for freelance Web3 and cryptocurrency work. If you thought fake job offers from the group’s Operation Dream Job campaign were bad, this latest move is a masterclass in deception, sophistication, and malicious intent. Here’s why Operation 99 demands your attention.
