It’s not often that a zero-day vulnerability causes a network security vendor to urge customers to physically remove and decommission an entire line of affected hardware — as opposed to just applying software updates. But experts say that is exactly what transpired this week with Barracuda Networks , as the company struggled to combat a sprawling malware threat which appears to have undermined its email security appliances in such a fundamental way that they can no longer be safely u
Paragon Solutions is yet another Israeli spyware company. Their product is called “Graphite,” and is a lot like NSO Group’s Pegasus. And Paragon is working with what seems to be US approval: American approval, even if indirect, has been at the heart of Paragon’s strategy. The company sought a list of allied nations that the US wouldn’t object to seeing deploy Graphite.
The second edition of Cybersecurity For Dummies , Joseph Steinberg’s best-selling introductory-level book about cybersecurity, is now available in French. Like its first edition counterparts published in several languages, and like the new English-language Second Edition released several months ago, the new French book, La Cybersécurité Pour Les Nuls 2e Édition , is written for general audiences, and can help people of all backgrounds stay cyber-secure, regardless of their technical skillsets.
I spent most of this week's update on the tweaking I went through with Azure's API Management service and then using Cloudflare to stop a whole bunch of requests that really didn't need to go all the way to the origin (or at least all the way to the API gateway sitting in front of the origin Azure Function instance). I'm still blown away by how cool this is - tweak the firewall via a web UI to inspect traffic and respond differently based on a combination of headers and respo

At its annual customer event in Las Vegas, Cisco introduced AI-powered, cloud-based products that are designed to snap into its new Security Cloud platform like LEGO. The post Cisco LIVE 2023: AI and security platforms innovations take center stage appeared first on TechRepublic.
When Threat Intelligence Platform ( TIP ) and Security Orchestration, Automation and Response ( SOAR ) first arrived a decade or so ago, they were heralded as breakthrough advances. Related: Equipping SOCs for the long haul TIP and SOAR may yet live up to that promise. I had an evocative discussion about this at RSA Conference 2023 with Willy Leichter , vice president of marketing, and Neal Dennis , threat intelligence specialist, at Cyware , which supplies a cyber fusion solution built around a
I love where I work, and between that and my general lack of fashion sense, I wear Duo t-shirts all the time. This means that, on a somewhat regular basis, I get unsolicited feedback from Duo users in grocery store check-out aisles, coffee shops, and on the sidewalk. Some of it is positive, but the general consensus is that people don’t love multi-factor authentication (MFA); they see it as a necessary evil at best.

Many cybersecurity awareness platforms offer massive content libraries, yet they fail to enhance employees’ cyber resilience. Without structured, engaging, and personalized training, employees struggle to retain and apply key cybersecurity principles. Phished.io explains why organizations should focus on interactive, scenario-based learning rather than overwhelming employees with excessive content.
If you, or your kids, are fans of Minecraft - you might be wise to not download any new mods of plugins for a while. Read more in my article on the Tripwire State of Security blog.
Whether it’s production lines halted by a malware attack causing millions of lost revenue, or a cyber-espionage attempt that stealthily infiltrates your network and steals your trade secrets, countless plausible scenarios threaten cybersecurity in manufacturing in the modern hyperconnected, digital age. Arguably, security defenses and awareness still lag behind the pace of digital transformation in manufacturing, where informational and operational.
Enterprise security company Barracuda has warned its customers against using email security gateway (ESG) appliances impacted by a recently disclosed zero-day exploit and to replace them immediately.

The campaign, focused on experts in North Korean affairs, is part of this group's larger intelligence gathering operations that target research centers, think tanks, academic institutions, and news outlets globally.
Fraud is a battle that every organization must face – it’s no longer a question of “if” but “when.” Every organization is a potential target for fraud, and the finance department is often the bullseye. From cleverly disguised emails to fraudulent payment requests, the tactics of cybercriminals are advancing rapidly. Drawing insights from real-world cases and industry expertise, we’ll explore the vulnerabilities in your processes and how to fortify them effectively.
The testing phase of BlackSuit, a new encryptor developed by the Royal ransomware gang, has commenced. This encryptor bears striking resemblances to the typical encryptor used by the gang in their operations. Following the shutdown of the infamous Conti operation in June 2022, Royal emerged in January 2023 as its apparent successor. The private ransomware […] The post Royal Ransomware Gang Bolsters Arsenal with BlackSuit Encryptor appeared first on Heimdal Security Blog.
APIs, more formally known as application programming interfaces, empower apps and microservices to communicate and share data. However, this level of connectivity doesn't come without major risks. Hackers can exploit vulnerabilities in APIs to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data or even take control of the entire system.
