In a world where insider threats, nation-state adversaries, and technological evolution create new challenges, companies must prioritize transparency, ethical leadership, and a culture rooted in trust.

Critics — which include the US embassy in Zambia — contend the just-signed Cyber Security Act and the Cyber Crime Act allow suppression of dissent and too much concentration of power.

The cybersecurity landscape confounded expectations in 2024, as anticipated threats and risk didn't materialize and less widely touted attack scenarios shot up.

Understanding how multiple AI models speak to each other and deciding which framework to use requires careful evaluation of both the business benefits of advanced AI orchestration and the cybersecurity implications of connecting automated services.

The tech giant is boosting Entra ID and MSA security as part of the wide-ranging Secure Future Initiative (SFI) that the company launched following a Chinese APT's breach of its Exchange Online environment in 2023.

The Texas municipality is following its incident response playbook as it works with a third-party to investigate the scope and scale of the attack.

Dialysis firm DaVita, Wisconsin-based Bell Ambulance, and Alabama Ophthalmology Associates all suffered apparent or confirmed ransomware attacks this month.

A proof-of-concept (PoC) attack vector exploits two Azure authentication tokens from within a browser, giving threat actors persistent access to key cloud services, including Microsoft 365 applications.

Agentic AI's appeal is growing as organizations seek more autonomous and hands-off approaches to their security protocols.

The incident should serve as a critical wake-up call. The stakes are simply too high to treat AI security as an afterthought — especially when the Dark Web stands ready to capitalize on every vulnerability.

Since January, threat actors distributing the malware have notched up more than 100 victims.

The threat actor uses sophisticated social engineering techniques to infect a victim's device, either with an infostealer or remote access Trojan (RAT).

Cyberthreat groups increasingly see small and medium-sized businesses, especially those with links to larger businesses, as the weak link in the supply chain for software and IT services.

Cybersecurity firms tend to be more software- and service-oriented than their peers, and threats tend to increase during a downturn, leaving analysts hopeful that the industry will buck a recession.

The vulnerability is only found in the vendor's router series and can be triggered by an attacker using a crafted request — all of which helps make it a highly critical vulnerability with a 9.2 CVSS score.

The AI security race is on — and it will be won where defenders come together with developers and researchers to do things right.

Threat actors would be at least temporarily derailed, experts say. But the real issue ladders back to organizations’ weak cyber hygiene.

Identity verification, insurance claims, and financial services are all seeing surges in AI-enabled fraud, but organizations are taking advantage of AI systems to fight fire with fire.
