Remember the good old days of IT? Back when firewalls were like bouncers at a nightclub, and security was a sleepy corner in the IT department? Those days are about as gone as the whining of modems for dial-up internet. The cyber landscape has morphed from pesky pop-ups to sophisticated ransomware gangs, forcing IT security to graduate into a full-fledged, battle-scarred warrior named “Cybersecurity.” However, it isn’t always sunshine and roses between these two tech…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is making waves in many industries across the board. It found use in healthcare, manufacturing, retail, finance, and other sectors that deal with large volumes of data. Although AI does not yet possess the full capabilities of human intelligence, it has a distinct advantage in terms of speed. Once trained to recognize patterns in data and make the necessary operations with them, it can process information quickly and efficiently. In digital forensics…

Dropbox, Microsoft, Okta – not only are these all major software companies, but each of them has fallen victim to a supply chain attack due to a compromised non-human identity. For decades the security industry has prioritized protecting human identities, but with the influx of Gen-AI tools and increase in automation, new identities have emerged, opening up an entirely new attack surface: non-human identities (NHIs). As NHIs continue to be the focus of exploitation, organizations…

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) is fueling an increase in cyber-attacks, threatening the data infrastructure of businesses and individuals. Approximately 85 percent of cybersecurity professionals attribute the increase in cyber-attacks to bad actors using generative AI. No sector is safe. From denial-of-service (DoS) to advanced phishing to deep fakes, businesses and organizations must prepare for AI-driven cyber-attacks, and an integrated set of tools and security measures is necessary to protect their data. Most…

One of the oldest and largest oil and gas companies in the world, bp is in the midst of a major transition as it pivots toward becoming an integrated energy company. As part of this transition, the company is aiming for a net-zero carbon footprint by 2050. The scope of its efforts so far is demonstrated by its shift into lower-carbon businesses, power trading, and convenience stores, which represented just 3% of its investment in…

From the moment we’re born, we are surrounded by a mix of true and false information. In the past, distinguishing between them was relatively easy, but over time, it has become increasingly difficult. The advent of generative AI technologies has ushered in a new era of entertainment, solutions, and, unfortunately, a new level of “fakeness.” Today, texts, images, and videos can be created entirely from scratch or manipulated to the point where it’s nearly impossible…

Amazon’s cloud branch, Amazon Web Services (AWS), is launching a £5m ($6.2m) grant to help strengthen the cybersecurity capabilities of educational institutions across the UK. According to a January 24 announcement, the AWS UK Cyber Education Grant Program aims to enhance security capabilities in UK educational institutions, advance ransomware protection, upskill the IT workforce in key cybersecurity areas and provide immediate incident response support when necessary. As part of this initiative, AWS will offer: Credits…

The insider threat is any individual within community who does something against such surrounding even being used for sabotage, diversion, espionage and the other purposes, so far. On the other hand, the business environment cannot be yet assured completely as those relying on, say, a corporate security deal with relatively questionable effective and still quite expensive defense opportunity that might demonstrate both – some pluses and minuses at the same glance. Indeed, the corporate security…

A new report by Recorded Future has revealed new elements about the sophisticated techniques by which a well-known Russian crypto scamming group operates. The group, Crazy Evil, is a collective of social engineering specialists tasked with redirecting legitimate traffic to malicious landing pages – commonly called a ‘traffer team.’ Since 2021, the group has been targeting cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), smart contracts, and other web3 projects to conduct malicious activity on social media. This activity…
