Behavioral AI platform defends against multi-channel attacks
While email remains the most common path to target an organization, we're increasingly using other tools like Slack, Teams and Zoom too, so cybercriminals are steadily shifting their tactics and targeting these additional entry points across the enterprise.
AI-based email security platform Abnormal Security is launching a range of new additions to its product focused on expanding security detection for these collaboration tools.
86 percent of developers knowingly deploy vulnerable code
According to a new study, 86 percent of software developers and AppSec managers surveyed have or know someone who has knowingly deployed vulnerable code.
What's more the study from Checkmarx shows 88 percent of AppSec managers surveyed have experienced at least one breach in the last year as a direct result of vulnerable application code.
71 percent of businesses hit with insider attacks from malicious employees
Insider attacks including fraud, sabotage, and data theft, plague nearly three quarters (71 percent) of US businesses, according to Capterra's 2023 Insider Threats Survey.
Perhaps unsurprisingly companies that allow excessive data access are much more likely to report falling victim to insider attacks. However, only 57 percent of companies limit data appropriately while 31 percent allow employees access to more data than necessary and 12 percent allow employees access to all company data.
Integration is a top priority for enterprises
A new report finds that 71 percent of enterprises are actively planning to implement integration technology this year.
The study from enterprise integration platform as a service (iPaaS) company Digibee surveyed over 1,000 US and Canada-based CIOs, CTOs, developers, and enterprise architects, and finds integration strategies being hampered by technology that isn't cloud-native and lack the agility to respond quickly.
New hyperautomation tool aims to improve enterprise security workflows
In today's complex cybersecurity landscape, keeping track of all the processes and workflows involved can be a difficult task.
Today sees Torq launch an enterprise-grade security 'hyperautomation' platform that is capable of automating the most complex security infrastructures. It also offers a GPT AI-based analytics capability for auto-analyzing cybersecurity incidents, making strategic responses, and informing immediate and long-term defensive measures.
Business and tech leaders collaborate to exploit the edge
Business and technology leaders are finally coming together not just to understand the new edge computing ecosystem, but to make more predictable, data-informed business decisions.
A new report from AT&T Cybersecurity finds that collaboration among leaders, as well as external partners in the ecosystem, will be critical for the edge journey ahead. But while the report finds organization's silos are beginning to erode and converge, more progress needs to be made.
Meeting the challenge of protecting data in a changing world [Q&A]
As a report last year showed, the change to working habits over the last few years has gone hand-in-hand with a rise in the theft of data.
We spoke to Cyberhaven CSO, Chris Hodson, to find out how enterprise CISOs can meet this challenge and keep their data safe.
Only 18 percent of staff think hybrid working has improved productivity
New research, from UK-based IT consultancy and services provider Doherty Associates, finds that only 18 percent of workers in two key sectors think that hybrid working has substantially improved productivity.
The survey of 889 employees working in the UK capital markets and legal industries looked to uncover how the working-from-home revolution and subsequent technological adoption have impacted productivity.
Smart communities and how they're changing the world [Q&A]
Smart communities and smart cities are set to deliver a number of benefits, including environmental sustainability, reducing the digital divide, and improving people's lives with smarter, personalized and more intuitive services and experiences.
But making them work involves a good deal of technology such as 5G, small cells and distributed antenna systems (DAS), as well as needing partnerships between governments and businesses. We spoke to Brendan O'Reilly, group chief technology officer at BAI Communications to find out more about smart communities and what makes them work.
New product helps find threats hidden in graymail
'Graymail' refers to those emails that aren't quite spam but which aren't necessarily all that helpful either. Think things like newsletters, announcements, or advertisements that you may have opted into in the past but which have outlived their usefulness.
It presents a headache for security teams as it can be hard to distinguish from malicious content like reconnaissance attacks. Armorblox is launching a new product aimed at cutting the time security teams spend managing graymail and mitigating the security risks from malicious recon attacks.
Vulnerability management made harder by complex supply chains
New research reveals that CISOs are finding it increasingly difficult to keep their software secure as hybrid and multicloud environments become more complex, and teams continue to rely on manual processes that make it easier for vulnerabilities to slip into production.
The study from Dynatrace shows 68 percent of CISOs say vulnerability management is more difficult because the complexity of their software supply chain and cloud ecosystem has increased.
Ubuntu 23.04 Lunar Lobster makes for easier enterprise deployment
From today, Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster) will be available for download, publisher Canonical has announced. The release marks a significant step forward for enterprise deployment and customization.
A unified Ubuntu server and desktop installation engine, Subiquity, supports the same autoinstall configuration workflows for both desktops and servers, making life easier for admins. The Ubuntu 23.04 installer has a refreshed user interface with a modern but familiar first-time user experience, along with new enterprise management capabilities.
Number of ransomware victims increases by 25 percent
A new report based on publicly available resources finds a 25 percent increase in ransomware victims from Q4 2022 and a 27 percent increase compared to Q1 of the same year.
The study from GuidePoint Security's Research and Intelligence Team (GRIT) tracked 849 total publicly posted ransomware victims claimed by 29 different threat groups in the first quarter of this year.
Record number of software security flaws uncovered in 2022
A record 26,448 software security flaws were reported by CISA last year, with the number of critical vulnerabilities (CVEs) up 59 percent from 2021 at 4,135.
The 2023 Annual Threat Intelligence Report, from the Deepwatch Adversary Tactics and Intelligence (ATI) team, also shows that the conflict between Ukraine and Russia has unleashed a flurry of amateur and state-sponsored attacks and breaches on organizations and critical infrastructure.
Microsoft and Talon launch enterprise-grade ChatGPT
Enterprise browser specialist Talon Cyber Security has announced that it has integrated its secure enterprise browser with the Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service to provide enterprise-grade ChatGPT access to customers.
This allows organizations to maintain data protection, keeping data put into ChatGPT within their perimeter and preventing it from transferring to third-party services. When using ChatGPT in Azure OpenAI Service, the organization uses its own Azure resources, so sensitive data is not delivered to other locations, improving data security and reducing risk.
