Data Protection

Application security (AppSec) is often a story of unfinished business. Vulnerabilities are discovered, triaged, and sometimes deprioritised, only to resurface later in more dangerous forms. For security teams managing thousands of findings, this creates what is often referred to as security debt, the accumulation of unresolved issues that can quietly morph into active threats. Arnica, a company positioning itself at the intersection of developer-native security and automation, is taking aim at this long-standing challenge. Recently,...

In today’s digital landscape, online platforms face increasing pressure to protect sensitive data and maintain user trust. Cyber threats are constantly evolving, and a single vulnerability can lead to significant financial and reputational damage. To stay ahead, platforms implement multiple layers of defense, combining advanced technology, strict compliance measures, and proactive monitoring. From robust encryption and multi-factor authentication to real-time threat detection and regular security audits, these measures create a secure environment where users can...

Online competition sites have become a go-to source of light entertainment, giving users a quick way to take part in prize draws, games, and challenges without needing to jump through hoops. The simplicity is part of the appeal. People can log in, enter, and move on with their day. That ease of use, though, has made data protection a growing priority. Responsible sites are now expected to go beyond the basics to keep personal information...

In the 19th century, opium was a highly sought-after commodity that fueled entire economies and conflicts. Today, data holds that same level of value, perhaps even more. It is the currency of power and influence wielded by governments, corporations, and cybercriminals alike. Whether used legitimately or illicitly, data's worth remains undeniable. This article explores the pervasive trade of stolen information within hidden online marketplaces, revealing why this underground economy thrives and how to avoid becoming...

As vulnerability counts rise and attack windows shrink, organisations face a stark reality: it’s not how fast you can detect risk, but how fast you can resolve it. MTTR has become the most telling indicator of whether a security programme is working. And yet, industry data reveals that most companies are falling short. The average MTTR to fix a critical vulnerability remains a staggering 270 days, even as adversaries exploit new vulnerabilities in less than...

In the modern financial landscape, cyber threats have evolved far beyond traditional malware and phishing emails. There are now sophisticated scams like mishing (voice phishing), smishing (SMS phishing), and quishing (QR code phishing) are now targeting consumers and financial institutions alike. Artificial intelligence (AI) can be a vital line of defense in the battle against these nuanced forms of cyber deception. By taking advantage of real-time data analysis, natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML),...

Information security has never been more vital. Every year, cyber attacks become more sophisticated and harder to uncover. I have seen, in my IT security business, as businesses, big and little, have fallen victims to cyber attacks because they did not pay enough attention to securing their systems. Whether a new startup preparing to implement its security procedures or an enterprise full-blown trying to remain compliant with new legislation, the obstacles are the same. What...

The ubiquitous version control system, Git, has revolutionised software development workflows with its robust set of capabilities. It simplifies the tracking of code changes, enables seamless branching and merging, and facilitates tight collaboration. Today, more than 100 million developers worldwide use the GitHub platform alone.  However, Git is not always a suitable solution for all kinds of source code file management. While Git excels in managing source code for software projects, connecting it to every...

Online fax services use the latest encryption, secure transmission and multi-factor authentication to keep your information safe. This convenience and security is why online faxing is so useful for businesses and individuals alike. Encryption...

Cybersecurity threats have been escalating in recent years, and industries that handle sensitive client data are prime targets. According to the 2025 Integris Report: Law Firms, Cybersecurity, and AI: What Clients Really Think, 52% of clients expressed concerns about cybersecurity breaches. Not only are law firms vulnerable to cyberattacks, but the risks extend to reputational damage, financial loss, and regulatory fines. Cyberattacks such as ransomware, phishing, and data breaches can lead to a complete loss...
