Software defects across MOVEit file-transfer services, Log4Shell and Citrix Bleed are among the highest-profile vulnerabilities that have been exploited in recent years, but they represent just a sliver of the total CVEs causing widespread damage.
The volume of CVEs is steadily increasing each year — SecurityScorecard recorded 29,000 vulnerabilities in 2023 and already this year it tracked nearly 27,500 vulnerabilities.
That number is expected to hit 34,888 in 2024, a 25% increase, according to Coalition’s 2024 Cyber Threat Index report. It underscores the challenge for organizations to continuously manage vulnerabilities and strengthen defenses against potential exploits.
At the scale of the Internet, threats are relentless. Domain Name System (DNS) technology is over 40 years old, but it remains just as relevant today—if not more so—to help organizations stay secure from malicious threats. What most people don’t know is that more than 70% of attacks involve the DNS layer. Every malicious request blocked represents a real attack prevented, real harm avoided, and real people protected. This underscores the power of...
Cybersecurity experts expect a significant surge in tax-related scams in the final month before Tax Day.
There's a contradiction in cybersecurity: humans can be both the weakest link and the strongest. For instance, humans are highly susceptible to deception. This is an age-old problem; look no further than the Trojan Horse of Greek lore or the Ghost Army of World War II. In the latter case, Allied forces created inflatable tanks and faked radio traffic, among other deceptive tactics across Europe, to confuse, distract and divert enemy forces and sa...
